"This exploration of regalia throughout the world and the ages, and the powerful figures who exemplify each style -- from the ceremonial robes of Chinese emperors to the wigs and stockings of seventeenth-century couriers to the casual college-inspired blazers and sunglasses of American politicians such as JFK -- provides a fascinating and comprehensive view of the sociological aspects of clothing. If there is truth in the saying 'tell me what you were and I'll tell you who you are,' then it is also true to add, 'I'll tell you what kind of society you live in." -- Dust jacket.

A History of Fashion and Costume is an eight-volume set that examines the development of costume and fashion over time, from the earliest cave dwellers to the present, along with the social history that gave rise to it. Introducing readers to the rich world of fashion and dress, this set vividly depicts the changing styles, processes, and trends--"from the first people to wear clothes in the last Ice Age to the courtly fashion of medieval Europe to the globalization of Western style--"that led us to the clothing of today.
