About this title: The first book to discuss the history of fashion from the artist's point of view, this handsomely illustrated volume examines French and English fashion from 1750 to 1820 through the art of the period, including portraits, paintings, sculpture, drawings, caricatures, and fashion plates. Examines how revolutions and wars affected fashion, how technological advances in textile production helped bring fashion to the masses, how dress and politics were linked in the movement toward democracy, and why eventually French styles dominated women's fashions while the English dominated men's.
