M.W. said Loved this book. Loved this book. it is a visual delight and mentions designers I remember and used to love and are no more (in many cases.The styles are a delight to see again. Makes you sad that people do not really :"dress-up" much anymore. Sad but true and we have lost that sense of elegance and style.. "Remarkable Resource" according to Justine C.. As a vintage clothing collector and seller, this is an invaluable resource for me. Ideal for a beginner, as well as a seasoned collector. An interesting read and a wonderful and useful book for just "looking up" a designer when necessary. It's a must have for the field.. "Can't Live Without It" according to sandy schreier. What a way to meet the talented American designersBefore Calvin, Ralph and Donna, there was Norell, McCardell and Mainbocher. Caroline Milbank introduces them and shows you their signature designs. A "must have" for fashion fans!
