From the dawn of history until the start of the last century discover the history and changing nature of fashion. The Evolution of Fashion is a brief book and is not overly technical. It is easily accessible those for without specific expertise in the area of fashion and a must read for anyone with interest in historical costume. The book begins with the item of clothing that is perhaps considered the cornerstone of fashion - the dress. Florence May Gardiner briefly explores the history of the dress, tracing its development from Ancient Egypt, to the Greeks and Romans, and through the 12th, 14th, and 16th centuries in Britain. Through descriptions and images, Gardiner highlights the changes over time that lead to the development of modern dresses, circa 1897. The book takes a similar approach to other items of fashion, including headgear, gloves, footwear, bridal costumes, and specialty items such as funeral-wear and fancy costumes. Space is devoted to a brief history of each category of clothing, with each chapter concluding with an examination of the current fashion. Fashion enthusiasts with an appetite for history will certainly enjoy the images and descriptions of the items deemed "en vogue" in the late 1800's, and will likely relish the opportunity to build connections between modern fashion and what is presented within this book.

Excerpt from Costume and Fashion: The Evolution of European Dress Through the Earlier Ages Despite the multiplicity of books on Costume already available, I found frequently in the early days of my professional work the greatest difficulty in securing authentic dated information to enable me to portray faithfully the modes and fashions of a chosen period. Many years ago, therefore, I started to compile a chronological list of dated notes and sketches on Costume and accessories, and have continually added to the list examples of unquestioned authenticity. It has been of the greatest value in the supervision of costumes for historical plays, pageants and films, and formed the basis of my course of lectures on Costume. Much of the information given in this volume has been published before, and is available elsewhere, in fragmentary form, to anyone who has the industry and the time to pursue the details in a hundred books (in half a dozen languages) and a thousand illuminated mss., pictures, statues, mosaics and frescoes scattered throughout Europe, together with the knowledge to extract therefrom the facts of design and period which they record.

Excerpt from The History of Fashion in France, or the Dress of Women From the Gallo-Roman Period to the Present Time Therefore to write the history of female fashion in France is a more serious task than it might seem to be at the first glance. The levity Of the subject is mastered by its moral interest. Montesquieu remarks, in his Lettres Persanes, A certain lady takes it into her head that she must appear at an assembly in a particular costume; from that moment fifty artisans have to go Without sleep, or leisure either to eat or drink. She commands, and is obeyed more promptly than a Shah of Persia, because self interest is the mightiest ruler upon the earth.

Excerpt from The Fashion and Future of History: Historical Studies and Addresses Of these writings, certain ones have been selected for publication in this form because it is felt that their permanent value deserves a wider audience than that to which they were originally offered. One, at least, was privately circulated under seal of secrecy because of references to living persons. These are now dead, and the reasons for secrecy no longer obtain. Hence a record of permanent value is, for practical purposes, made available for the first time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Described by The New York Times as, "a treasure of fashion insiders," Take Ivy was originally published in Japan in 1965, setting off an explosion of American-influenced "Ivy Style" fashion among students in the trendy Ginza shopping district of Tokyo. The product of four sartorial style enthusiasts, Take Ivy is a collection of candid photographs shot on the campuses of America's elite, Ivy League universities. The series focuses on men and their clothes, perfectly encapsulating the unique academic fashion of the era. Whether lounging in the quad, studying in the library, riding bikes, in class, or at the boathouse, the subjects of Take Ivy are impeccably and distinctively dressed in the finest American-made garments of the time. Take Ivy is now considered a definitive document of this particular style, and rare original copies are highly sought after by "trad" devotees worldwide. A small-run reprint came out in Japan in 2006 and sold out almost immediately. Now, for the first time ever, powerHouse is reviving this classic tome with an all-new English translation. Ivy style has never been more popular, in Japan or stateside, proving its timeless and transcendent appeal. Take Ivy has survived the decades and is an essential object for anyone interested in the history or future of fashion.
