Fashion Designers |
DESIGNER INTRODUCTION From earliest times, man has changed his clothing frequently. A phenomenon known as "fashion" sprang up thousands of years ago. Men and women have tried to wear new things, different things, clothes that would impress people or frighten others. To give these people new clothes, other people had to have new ideas, creativity - and so was born the first fashion designer - around 5,000 years ago. Here on
this section of our website, we are concerned with designers in the 20th
century and we are giving you details of the lives, activities and
contribution to fashion of about 500 fashion designers. Some of them are
classics, some just quite good, some new and some we feel are worth
keeping an eye on because they are going to go places. BUYING BOOKS Throughout this website I am going to try to put up links with Amazon.com to buy books on each designer or costume. If you click through and find an out-of-print book, don't be discouraged. Most of my library is from the "used" category shown on each Amazon page, and they have all been in perfect condition, and at amazing prices. Roam Amazon and you will certainly get the book you want. Here are some very good books covering fashion as a whole. The first view are dealing with dresses of one colour, black or red.
