Absolutely fascinating material on a topic that’s almost too big for a volume of books. While I love the fashions of yesteryear, I simply can’t imagine spending so much time getting into one outfit… I’ll stick with T-shirts and jeans myself!

Hi there,
I see you bought the fabulous fashion book. Please can you tell me where I can buy that book, because I need it for my education. I tried to buy it by ‘Taschen’ but by them the book is out of stock.
Thank you very much in advance.
