The evolution of style from antiquity to 1888
Originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, Auguste Racinet’s Le Costume historique was the most wide-ranging and intelligent study of clothing ever published. Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through the end of the 19th century, the great work—“consolidated” in 1888 into 6 volumes containing nearly 500 plates—remains, to this day, completely unique in its scope and detail. Racinet’s organization by culture and subject has been preserved in TASCHEN’s magnificent and complete reprint, as have excerpts from his delightful descriptions and often witty comments. Perusing these beautifully detailed and exquisitely colored illustrations, you’ll discover everything from the garb of ancient Etruscans to traditional Eskimo attire to 19th century French women’s couture. Though Racinet’s study spans the globe from ancient times through his own, his focus is on European clothing from the Middle Ages to the 1880s and this subject is treated with exceeding passion and attention to detail. The Complete Costume History is an absolutely invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, illustrators, and historians; it is also an immensely fascinating and inspirational book for anyone with an interest in clothing and style.

最新版有英德法三语。Racinet的文字是个蛮奇怪的集合,学术+想象+夸张,从书的布局就可以看出很eurocentric,但还是十分动人的绘本。刚拿到这本书时碰巧打开一页深焦古希腊宫殿内部全景图,深深被震撼——这才是不辜负大尺寸的图片,好让人深深把头埋进去。虽然不是什么十分精确的书,但都是人们想象的凭据。据说欧洲殖民早期,上流社会时兴Costume Ball,裁缝们都是从这儿拿的灵感。

配文可有可无,作为一本精致的画册,赏心悦目的图片才是王道。

目录敢不敢详细点 图文对应敢不敢清楚点 排版敢不敢阳间点 是真的觉得反正读者只会看图所以文字乱标也无所谓吗??看似牛b详尽实则毫无可读性和实用价值只能让插图满足一下审美的书 可惜了作者的详细考据和文字解释
