Was I interested in the toys or games? No! The clothing caught my attention, and I set about choosing the dresses I would have worn if I been around back then. Thus, my interest in fashion history was born.

16. Vintage Fashion History 1920's fashion history? According to Whom? or History? We don t need no stinking history! Dear Lauren, So much has happened over the years. http://home.att.net/~design-house/history_1920.htm

Website Policies Accessories Vintage Gowns American Gothic ... Next Fashion History? According to Whom? or... History? We don't need no stinking history! Dear Lauren, So much has happened over the years. Wars and revolutions, edicts and referendums, dynasties and one night-stands... You'd think we'd all have learned something by now! After all, the great philosopher George Santanyana once admonished, "Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it." Well, he should have reprised that to read, "those who cannot remember the fashions of the past are condemned to buy them again, at high end retail." Adding insult to injury is the fact that clothing was better crafted in the good old days, when people took their time and weren't in such a hurry. For whatever it's worth, here's my personal zeitgeist about fashion in the 20th century, starting with the 1920's...but I must admit, the closer I am to living within a decade, the harder it is for me to remain enthusiastic about it. Plus ca change, c'est la meme chose

Website Policies Accessories Vintage Gowns American Gothic ... The Velvet Firefly 1920's Wedding Styles by Lauren Lavonne Pritchett 1920's Wedding Styles Cloche or Cap veils were de rigueur for the twenties, fitting over the entire head and then falling gracefully over the shoulders. Often made from net backed laces, they became more and more elaborate, some using the finest Lyon and Brussels lace. These were decorated with satin or velvet ribbon, metallic gimp and wax blossoms at the ears. The corners of this veil were rounded and as in the photo at left, made from unmistakable silk tulle as it fell straight to the floor with no body. This brides cap veil incorporated a large pouf at the back that was balanced by her simple daisy and crown trim. Her over the elbow opera gloves and her huge bouquet with traditional ribbon knots were cutting edge twenties style. Note the similarity between the following bride's silhouette, from the cut of her sleeve to her over the elbow gloves and single strand of pearls; the two brides are almost identical in style. Headpieces in the roaring twenties became more and more elaborate in contrast to the simplistic appearance of the rather loose cut dresses of the period. The chemise dress appeared to go straight up and straight down and the focus of style went to their, er... heads. Veils became yards of dreamy silk tulle that was often photographed in a graceful gather at the Bride's feet. This bride's veil is rectangular cut, perfectly matching her lack of waistline typically associated with gowns of this decade.

Canada AR, Madrid Spain Argentina Spain United States "El Kyoto Costume Institute junto con la editorial TASCHEN nos obsequia con un tesoro. Un punto a destacar en el libro es la calidad fotográfica y la excelente aproximación del fotógrafo ala pieza". Suite, Barcelona Spain "A thoroughly delightful and entertaining book, it is the perfect way to tour one of the world's most exquisite fashion collections from the comfort of your armchair!!" Sewing World, Upton-Upon-Severn United Kingdom "Quelle bonne idée que la réimpression de cet ouvrage désespérément introuvable ! (...) Fort d’un nombre impressionnant de photographies - que seul TASCHEN est capable d’éditer à un prix défiant toute concurrence, il faut bien l’avouer -, cette histoire du costume par l’image est une réussite. (...) Plus qu’une histoire du costume, il s’agit surtout d’un portfolio d’une qualité et d’une richesse qui ne peut que ravir les passionnés de mode et les amateurs de belles œuvres. Ces petites merveilles de tissu brodés, perlés, festonnés, galonnés, plissés, laissent admiratif sur une technique avec laquelle seule la haute couture peut encore rivaliser de nos jours - comme le prouve les dernières pages".
