Ancient European Costume and Fashion

Ancient European Costume and Fashion

Editorial Reviews Book Description Scrupulously researched book by noted authority traces the development of European clothing styles from prehistory to the Norman Conquest in 1066 AD. Over 160 illustrations, including 17 full-color plates, display draped robes of classical Greece, the jewel-encrusted apparel of a 10th-century Byzantine emperor, garments of peasants, as well as footwear, hairstyles, headdresses, and jewelry. Accompanying text chronologically traces origin and development of a garment and its relation to forerunners and successors. Immensely valuable reference for students, historians, artists and anyone intersted in costume history.
