Publisher's Synopsis
A special limited edition of this phenomenally successful hardback book, released in just 1000 copies with a fine cloth cover, quarter-binding, gold debossed foil lettering and gilded-edged pages. Archive illustrations, couture drawings and photography by the most lauded photographers of the time lend background, while specially commissioned photographs of rare period pieces show characteristics to look for when collecting. With the current obsession for all things vintage, muses and icons such as Kate Moss, Maggie Gyllenhaall and Chlo% Sevigney are often pictured in rare designer pieces and have set a mainstream trend in ready-to-wear.
