Emprenda un viaje a través de la moda de los tres últimos siglos. Esta espectacular colección del Instituto de la Indumentaria de Kioto (Kyoto Costume Institute), una de las colecciones de ropa más extensas del mundo, incluye prendas de vestir, ropa interior, calzado y accesorios que han definido al ser humano más allá del tiempo y el espacio.
The ultimate compendium of clothing from the 18th to the 20th century
Clothes define people. A persons attire, whether it be a sari, kimono, or business suit, is an essential code to his or her culture, class, personality, even faith. Indeed, clothing has the power to define people and their generation. Recognizing this sartorial significance is the Kyoto Costume Institute, whose team of curators examine fashion through sociological, historical, and artistic perspectives. With one of the worlds most extensive clothing collections, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, including underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day.
Showcasing the Institutes vast collection, Fashion History is a fascinating excursion through clothing trends from the 18th to the 20th century. With photographs of clothing displayed on custom-made mannequins and commentary from some of the sharpest minds in fashion studies, the book is a testimony to attire as an essential manifestation of our very being and to the Institutes passion for fashion as a complex and intricate art form.
