Phaidon Press. Good. 290mm / 250mm. Hardcover. 1998. 512 pages. Dj chipped and worn<br>Why do we dress the way we do? Why has fashion changed and evolved over the centuries? How did t he 3-piece suit come about? What is a ruff? Why have hemlines ris en and fallen over time? Why did a suntan replace the pale, peach es-and-cream face as the sign of a high-class woman? In this book , fashion specialist Colin McDowell goes beyond standard fashion histories and narrative surveys to answer all these questions and more. Fashion is about the body. The first book to reflect this truism, The Anatomy of Fashion is the ultimate guide to how we d ress, why we look the way we do and how this has changed over tim e. By breaking fashion down into its basic elements, explaining t hem in detail and showing how they fit together, McDowell maps ou t the historical evolution of fashion, demonstrating how fashions from each period in history have contributed to the way we look today. He paints a broad and accessible picture of the forces at work in the creation and development not just of clothing, but of all aspects of appearance. Fashion is both functional and expre ssive - we wear clothes to keep warm or for protection - but they also articulate the way we feel and are often used to impress. F ashion trends are influenced by history and their social context. For example, the waistcoat is often believed to have been introd uced as part of the Victorian 3-piece suit. In fact, it was broug ht to England by Charles II in 1666 after his restoration and ret urn from exile at the French court. Samuel Pepys, diarist and civ il servant, wrote: 'The King hath yesterday in council declared h is resolution of setting a fashion for clothes which he will neve r alter. It will be a vest, I know not well how.' Charles wanted the new garment to be part of a restrained national dress for gen tlemen and the vest flourished throughout Georgian times as a sho w-off garment made of rich silks and heavily embroidered, often i n silver and gold. The book is divided into 3 main sections. Sec tion 1 looks at the body unclothed and the different 'skins' that cover it; subjects include human skin, pale skin v. tanned skin, tattoos, piercings, fabrics, colours and pattern. In section 2 f ashion is broken down into body parts and the relevant individual elements of dress are discussed - from head to toe. Body parts i nclude the head (e.g., hats, hair, wigs), the shoulders (e.g. sho ulder pads, straps), hands (e.g., gloves, jewellry), legs (e.g., hem lengths, pantaloons, skirt shapes, hosiery). Section 3 return s to the body as a whole to consider how these elements create 'f ashion' and what different looks say about the way we dress. The author will cover subjects such as military dress and uniform, cu lt styles including the grunge look, goths and gangs. By breaking fashion down in this way, readers will understand why we dress t he way we do and how this has been shaped throughout history. Ea ch sub-section in the book (e.g., Skin, Neck to hips, Uniform) wi ll have a timeline and a short introduction. Each of these sub-se ctions is then further divided into the individual elements (e.g. Neck to hips will include shoulders, hands and waist, etc.) The author envisages that each of these elements will be contained on a spread. So, for example, the shoulders spread would include an introductory text and a selection of images (photographs, painti ng details and drawings of straps, shoulder pads, epaulettes, etc .) with short texts that explain their historical context, their function and how they have changed over time. The book's dynamic structure and layout are equally suited for browsing and for ser ious reference. However, The Anatomy of Fashion is not simply a p icture book. It is a sourcebook by one of the world's leading fas hion scholars that seeks nothing less than a thorough analysis of the roots of every aspect of fashion today. ., Phaidon Press, 1998, 2.5, Sarup & Sons , pp. [vi] + 462 1st Edition .
