Sensuous, fashionable, beautiful, alluring: a gorgeously presented book that explores lingerie past and present.
This is a beautifully illustrated guide to lingerie, from the early history of bras and girdles to modern times. Lingerie has always been meant to both conceal and reveal, to shape the body and to hide a multitude of sins. In recent years designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier have also used items of lingerie such as bustiers and basques as outerwear to great effect. The book also contains a section on getting proper fits for lingerie items and where to find the most beautiful lingerie. This is a beautiful look at a fascinating subject: both a wonderful gift item and a resource book for fashion students or anyone with an interest in fashion.
