Fashion History - Reviews
"Kaum ein Museum der Welt hat die Geschichte der schönen Hüllen so breit gefächert und tiefsinnig dokumentiert wie das japanische Kyoto Costume Institute ... In dem üppig bebilderten Band 'Fashion' lassen die fünf Modekuratorinnen Modegeschichte vom 18. bis zum 20. Jahrhundert Revue passieren."FocusGermany |

"Fashion est un trésor… si convoité qu'il a vite été épuisé ! Les éditions TASCHEN ont eu la bonne idée de le réimprimer. En cinq cents photographies, il présente la fabuleuse collection de vêtements et d'accessoires du Kyoto Costume Institute (KCI). Un superbe voyage dans le temps et dans les plaisirs de la mode".Marie-Claire, ParisFrance |

"The clothes you wear speak volumes about the kind of person you are. Anyone wearing loud colors is usually considered confident, outgoing and perhaps even a touch arrogant for his or her own good. In contrast your average salary man sits at the other end of the scale, the epitome of conservatism. In between these opposite ends of the spectrum are an infinite number of styles, all manifestations of an individual's culture, class, personality and even religion. But this is hardly a recent phenomenon. In fact, it has been this way for centuries, even since our first forefathers decided that going au naturale was oh so "last season." And that's where this book comes in. Fashion : A History from the 18th to the 20th Century consists of 500 stunning photographs of items of clothing selected from the extensive collections at the Kyoto Costume Institute. From rare treasures such as a 17th-Century iron corset with embroidered bodice to modern outfits by designers such as Yves Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein, the book traces the evolution of women's fashion and offers a glimpse at what the future might bring. It's an illustrated bible for any follower of fashion"J-Select, TokyoJapan |

"Una historia desde el siglo XVIII al XIX. Este es quizás unos de los libros de moda mejores logrados. Está realizado por el Instituto de la Indumentaria de Tokio, que abre su colección, su "archivo" para explicar con palabras e imágenes la historia de la moda desde un sentido sociológico, histórico y artístico. Es una fascinante excursión a los últimos tres siglos del diseño. Los autores de este libro son cinco, uno de ellos es Akiko Fukai, jefe curador del Instituto de la Indumentaria de Tokio".Cordobanet, CórdobaSpain |
