Summary:
"There's a story behind every garment. This book walks you through the stories of the world's most recognizable designers across each decade, visually. In each unique journey, we will understand each designer's life choices, how they've adapted to trends and adversities, and discover how the fashion industry has changed with time - from World War II until present. One thing is for sure, once you finish reading this book, you will never look at these designers the same way again" -- back cover.
