With glamorous icons such as Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable as inspiration, fashions reflected the cultural, economic, and societal realities of the era. Covering topics from the rise of sportswear and the bikini and what they meant for women, to what zoot suits represented for minority groups, this engaging title informs and entertains. The book includes many archival photos that show elements discussed in the text as well as a time line, glossary, bibliography, further reading and Web sites list, an index, and source notes. This well-designed, fascinating title will wow history buffs and fashion enthusiasts alike.
