Description

"An assemblage of elegant and amusing fashion illustrations, drawings, paintings, sculptures, and photographs reveals the changing shapes of beauty through time. Tightly laced Victorians, roman athletes, Rubenesque beauties, Mae West, Sophia Loren, Jayne Mansfield, and Madonna are all pictured, along with advertisements for every kind of garment imaginable. Far from frivolous, this history of bras and corsets is really the story of women's - and their bodies' - emancipation." - dust jacket. First published in French in 1992. pp. [8], 9-159, [1]. 220 illustrations, including 60 plates in full color. Clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A high-quality copy of this wonderful work. Book
