Have to say I enjoyed studying from this book a lot more than I have been expected. It has so many pictures to help you understand the terms, and a dictionary for every chapter. It help me so much with my Fashion History class., and not only that it is actually a very interesting book, I have learned so many new things and not only about fashion, it gives you details about major history events that have happened.

Very useful & thorough textbook

I bought this for my fashion history class - it's fantastic not only for clothing styles and designers but for world history influences also.
