It's a solid introduction to fashion history and to the significant social importance of fashion. The language is accessible and its coverage of relevant issues ... comprehensive. [It] is a good balance of interesting anecdotes and modern fashion theory, which means the book will appeal to both the general reader and to fashion scholars.” —\u003ci\u003eTRC\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“English has created a very respectable academic treatment of the last century of fashion... What is most notable about the content of this volume is the way English handles her broad topic; there are some powerful fashion images in this book, but this is no pretty coffee table accessory. English selects unique subjects within fashion for each chapter and zeroes in to prevent a deluge of meaningless and broad historical summaries.” —\u003ci\u003eWORN Fashion Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[T]his book has a fine, thoughtful, well-researched approach to the subject of 20th- and 21st-century fashion history. I can imagine that a new student would be very inspired by this volume, having gotten a taste of the philosophy of Quentin Bell, an introduction to Yamamoto and Yves Saint Laurent, and a broad but nuanced sense of the chronology of cultural historical events and ideas. Laying a dynamic and intriguing groundwork for lifelong study, A Cultural History of Fashion in the 20th and 21st Centuries would be an excellent starting point.” —\u003ci\u003eWorn Through\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003e[A Cultural History of Fashion in the 20th and 21st Centuries]\u003c\/i\u003e gives a comprehensive history of fashion in the 20th and 21st centuries, including fashion trends, influential designers and much much more...
