Fashion Sourcebook – 1920s is the first book in a brand-new series by FIELL that documents comprehensively the seasonal fashion styles of the 20th century, decade by decade. Sumptuously illustrated with over 600 original photographs, drawings and prints, this title is a must-have reference work for not only students of fashion and vintage collectors, but for all fashionistas. Fashion Sourcebook – 1920s focuses on the Art Deco period with its beautiful beaded dresses, cloche hats and strappy shoes as worn by the fashionable flappers and the “bright young things” of the time.
An accompanying introduction outlines the major themes within fashion during this period, introduces its most famous designers and assesses their creative contributions. A cornucopia of beautiful clothes with exquisite detailing, this book provides a rich source of inspiration through an in-depth and important survey of Art Deco fashion.
