Book Reviews of The Language of Clothes
Book Review: A great social history of clothes
Summary: 5 Stars
Well written, well argued history, not text book like at all, but like a long New Yorker article. A pleasure to read. It's not about silly petty fads but great social movements that underlie trends and revolutions. I think more photo illustrations would help.
