Expert authors from around the world have delved into museum collections, as well as the archives of prestigious designers, textile suppliers and fashionable journals, to bring together this pioneering study of the London couture houses of the early to midtwentieth century, renowned for their superb craftsmanship and attention to detail. The full breadth of London's offering is examined, from royal favourite Norman Hartnell to pioneer Charles James, and prestigious houses such as Lucile, Worth and Hardy Amies. The ancillary dressmaking trades in London are also considered, as are the international markets for London couture, and the impact of royal dress on high-end fashion.A wealth of visual material supports the extensive, original research - from beautiful features by celebrated photographer Norman Parkinson to the elegant illustrations of Francis Marshall.0Previously unseen garments are illustrated throughout the book, alongside historical photography that documents the houses of the great designers, their favoured fabrics and their most glamorous clients, including Queen Elizabeth II, Margot Fonteyn, and many stars of stage and screen. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (page 331-334) and index. 650 0 $a Fashion $z London $z London $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Fashion design $z London $z London $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Fashion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921600 650 7 $a Fashion design. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200123 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a De La Haye, Amy, $e editor. 700 1 $a Ehrman, Edwina, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230035917.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC1CFA82ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
