"An authoritative and visually stunning look at the fashion of the 20th century, Dressing the Decades examines in depth the origins of the most important luxury garments.

The centurys most famous designers including Lanvin, Chanel, Balenciaga, Dior, Givenchy, Versace, and Calvin Klein are profiled here, their influence and imagery conveyed through annotated head-to-toe looks and photographs of signature pieces and outfits"--Publisher's description.
