Clothes define people. A person's clothing, whether it's a sari, kimono, or business suit, is an essential key to his or her culture, class, personality, or even religion. Founded in 1978, the Kyoto Costume Institute holds one of the world's most extensive clothing collections and has organized many exhibitions worldwide. With an emphasis on Western women's clothing, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day. Showcasing a vast selection of photographs from the KCI's collection, Fashion History is a fascinating excursion through the last three centuries of clothing trends.

720 pages, 500 color illustrations, 9 in. x 13 in. Hardcover; clothbound. Two-volume set, with slipcase.
