Forties Fashion: From Siren Suits to the New Look
FORTIES FASHION: FROM SIREN SUITS TO THE NEW LOOK


By Jonathan Walford
One of the best things about the way historiography has opened up over the past half-century is the way it has enabled us to view the palette of the past from different perspectives.

This book, by an experienced Canadian fashion curator, takes an in-depth look at the clothing, shoes and accessories of the most transformative decade in a century chock-full of turmoil and upheaval. In so doing, he manages to convey to the reader a marvelous sense of the texture of life as a whole back then.
