Trends. The Evolution of Fashion from Antiquity to Modern Times

Trends are born, become outdated, and return, turning into a mirror of their time. Fashion historian Audrey Mille invites you on an exciting journey through the history of the fashion industry. This extensive research explains how the tastes of entire generations are formed, why some ideas become iconic while others fade away, and what social, cultural, and economic shifts underpin these changes. From ancient chitons to the runways of the 21st century, from medieval prohibitions to the era of global gloss — 'Trends' unveils the secret life of clothing and explains why style always speaks of time louder than any words. The clothing we wear today is the result of a millennia-long creative search. This book will help you see it in its entirety.
