## Description

Pictorial Encyclopedia of Historic Costume : Kretschmer, Albert: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: Ich habe dieser Buch nicht fur mich selbst einkekaft, sondern fur meinem Freund. Er sagte, er ist mit dem Buch zufrieden, es erhalt viele scone Bilder des Kostumen. Ein schones einblick ins Historie des Westeren Fashion!
Review: This is a really really cool book. I love looking at all the pictures of all the figures and all the different attire throughout the ages. It must have taken an incredible amount of research to put it all together. The focus is definitely on Europe (France, Italy, Germany, England), but there are a lot of cool pages on ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome as well. I think this book is most appropriate for people who are interested in fashion and/or history. I could see it working perfectly for someone who is looking for inspiration designing women's dresses or even menswear. History lovers who want to picture the people they are reading about will also benefit. Highly recommend.
