From the publisher
A remarkable anthology of key writings that parallels the history of fashion with modern life Writing more than a century before Vogue, no less a figure than G. W. F. Hegel reviewed the fashion of his day and found it wanting because, in becoming outmoded so quickly, it drew attention away from the timeless beauty of the human form.
