Clothing has been a consistent recorder of history through the years, and Fashions of a Decade: The 1950s documents the heights of fashion as it threaded its way through post-war society. This revised, full-color volume traces the red-hot fashions of the cold war decade, from nylon stockings and stiletto heels to full skirts and slim-fitting bodices to baby doll nightwear and textured leisure suits. An essential resource for history and fashion lovers alike, Fashions of a Decade: The 1950s brings to life the sartorial highlights of this historic era.
