A visual record of the British people's habits of dress from the Victorians to Britpop, containing around 300 photographs from PA Photos' huge archives, spanning the whole of the 20th Century. Hand-picked by PA Photos' own archivists, most of these images have lain unseen since they were used as news pictures when first taken. Each image has been scanned especially for this book, many from glass plates, ensuring the best possible quality of reproduction. This book takes us on a fascinating journey through a hundred years of fashion and style, both on the London catwalks and on the streets of ordinary towns. So much social history can be seen reflected in the clothes of ordinary people: Victorian attitudes were inseparable from the clothes of the time, the relaxed atmosphere and pleasure-seeking of the 1920s can be seen clearly in its pyjama-clad girls, wartime austerity is acutely visible in ration-driven outfits followed by the new couture of the 1950s - and then from the '60s to the end of the '90s we see a kaleidoscopic rush through a rapidly changing society. A must for fashion watchers everywhere.

Fashion designers, as opposed to 'mere tailors and dressmakers', are a relatively recent phenomenon--beginning with Charles Worth, an Englishman working in Paris in the 1860s, who established the first haute couture fashion house. This precedent inspired later household names, such as Gabrielle Chanel, Christian Dior, Yves St Laurent, through to Rei Kawakubo, Zandra Rhodes, Romeo Gigli and Vivienne Westwood. The work of these designers and others' is represented by apparel, album sketches and stencil illustrations drawn principally from the National Gallery's collection.

During every stage of its history, Myer has registered a fashion first; be this in the open display of goods on counters, the introduction of designer imports, the development of a range for teenagers, bringing Dior's 'New Look' to Australia or in the launches of its trusted private label brands. This story of Myer fashion is also told pictorially, and traces how hemlines have gone up and come down, corsets have disappeared and reappeared and technological advances have seen fabrics flatter the female form today more than ever before" -- Back cover.
