具体描述
Fashion influences how we view other people and how we view ourselves. This fascinating reference set provides descriptions of styles of clothes that men, women, and children have worn in the U.S. since 1900, and why they wore them. The work examines the impact that cultural history has on fashion and how fashion may serve as an impetus for change in society. Articles examine the impact that political and cultural events, arts and entertainment, daily life, and family structures had on cultural life and fashion. The second half of each volume describes the important and everyday fashion and styles of the period, decade by decade, for women, men, and children. The set also includes helpful timelines; resource guides of Web sites, videos, and print publications; an extensive glossary; and illustrations.
