About the book
Here Elizabeth Ewing looks behind the scenes for a deeper understanding of the social, economic and technical changes which have caused an unprecedented revolution in our attitudes to dress. The book is a story of fashion shocks: two world wars, the impact of new fibres and manufacturing techniques, the influence of radical new designers, and a succession of post-War youth explosions culminating in the punk and new wave looks of the last decade.
