FASHION: 150 Years of Couturiers, Designers, Labels [Hardcover] by Charlotte Seeling
“You wouldn’t expect any book charging itself with the not-inconsiderable task of documenting fifteen decades of fashion to be anything less than weighty; lifting Charlotte Seeling’s sizable 512-page encyclopedia Fashion: 150 Years of Couturiers, Designers, Labels requires positively Herculean levels of strength. And with more than 500 illustrations, it’s unlikely you’ll be cradling the Kindle version in your hands anytime soon. (Your device would crash with the same resounding thump if you’d let this tome slip to the floor.) That aside, Seeling’s walk down the runways of history is worth a look for its broad sweep (from Belle Epoque curves to the twenty-first-century epoch with the likes of Haider Ackermann) and some great images (check out the futuristic Courrèges shifts, structured Schiaparelli dresses and simple Balenciaga box jackets, all photographed by Vogue.” reports Vogue.com
