INTRODUCTION

Fashion History from the 18th to the 20th Century traces the evolution of dress, costume and personal style from the age of elaborate 18th-century garments through to the revolutionary fashions of the 20th century.
Drawing on the extensive collection of the Kyoto Costume Institute, the book showcases clothing, accessories, footwear and undergarments across three centuries, each piece captured in detail on custom mannequins and framed by insightful commentary from leading fashion historians. 
In doing so, the volume explores how attire is not just a layer on the body but a powerful expression of identity, class, culture and period, making it a rich resource for students, scholars and anyone fascinated by the history of dress.
