Kohtume riiete järgi. Maailma kostüümiajalugu

Imagine a fashion runway where Charles V, Marie Antoinette, Margaret Thatcher, Ivan the Terrible, and Napoleon Bonaparte strut their stuff!
Our book will unveil the secrets of the attire of the powerful of this world. But it's not only rulers who are famous for their unusual outfits.
Every group has its "uniform"—judges and gendarmes, circus performers and academics, brides and grooms, firefighters and divers—all are recognized and, as they say, judged by their clothes, and each has its own fashion. How have their outfits changed, and what are their secrets and symbols?
This is what "A World History of Costume" will explore through brief descriptions and vivid illustrations.
