Unique in its kind, this book presents 1000 pieces of 20th century fashion that have been sold at auction in recent years. Each piece is described with precision (name of the designer, year of creation, cut, material, finishes, embroidery, buttons, condition, claw, etc.). The date and place of sale of the part are specified, with the auction price!
Works by the greatest designers (from Worth to Lagerfeld, through Schiaparelli, Chanel, Grès, Poiret, Dior...), these rare pieces, classified by decades, trace the evolution of styles and trends of each period, and the manner in which each great House has entered, in its own way, the history of fashion.
