A Matter of Fashion

20 Iconic Items That Changed the History of Style

Sometimes a single garment can change the course of fashion forever. Consider the Burberry trench coat or Givenchys little black dress—milestones that transformed everything. This extraordinary book, a visual and intellectual feast of historical illustrations, cult advertising, and beautiful still-life shots, narrates the history of 20 iconic fashion items, ranging from Levis jeans to Hermès scarves and Tiffany pearls.
