About This Book

L'ouvrage offre un panorama historique et critique des toilettes, alternant descriptions pittoresques de coiffures, robes et accessoires et réflexions sur la cyclicité des modes : comment les formes anciennes renaissent sous de nouvelles interprétations et comment chaque époque proclame sa propre élégance. Organisé en courts chapitres thématiques, il explore sources et cartons du passé, compare vêtements et architectures vestimentaires, et allie information concrète, humour discret et considérations esthétiques pour rendre vivantes les transformations du goût au fil des siècles.
