Historia de la Moda Contemporánea - Paperback

Our memories of infancy and childhood among the old photographs that are at home, classic films or video clips, are entering the world of fashion. It is looking with a certain benevolence at who used to dress in a strange way. To look at the 20th century when we have been in the 21st century for more than twenty years is to do it from a melancholy distance. Clothing was a social response to a much greater extent than mere trends. If women wore trousers and moccasins, if they teased or cut their hair, if they wore suits or huge shoulder pads, it was for a reason. Always for something. Walking through 20th century fashion is like opening a trunk full of memories containing Cristóbal Balenciaga, the women's tuxedo, Claudia Schiffer, flared trousers, Mecano, the corset and Edith Head. The pages that make up this book are immersed in those stories that made the preceding hundred years something wonderful and special.
