Art and Fashion
"Takes a detailed look at the flow of ideas between the twin worlds of art and fashion, chronicling their close relationship. It charts a history of ideas highlighting key moments, from the Renaissance to the present day, when art and fashion interacted and influenced each other... This close synergy between art and fashion has continued into the 21st century, with artists working with themes that explore clothes and the body, and top fashion designers feted in lavish museum exhibitions."-- Back cover.

Coco Chanel
Examines the designs and career of Coco Chanel - a name associated with romantic evening wear during the 1920s and 1930s, and costume jewellery and perfumes today. Chanel was famous for her simple, yet elegant designs - tweed suits and little black dresses were among the looks she pioneered.

Life in Dance
"Not since Margot Fonteyn began her legendary partnership with Rudolf Nureyev has a dancer captured the public imagination in quite the way Darcey Bussell has. From The Dancing Times to the cover of Harpers & Queen she has crossed over from the world of dance to become a household name. British, beautiful and exceptionally talented, her athleticism and grace have made her the embodiment of a new style of dance. Although she is constantly written about by others, this is the first opportunity to read Darcey on herself. In this remarkably candid memoir she talks about her training, her life both on and off the stage and offers a refreshing, funny and and direct insight into a magical world." -- Book jacket.
An Intimate Affair
Intimate apparel, a term in use by 1921, has played a crucial role in the development of the "naughty but nice" feminine ideal that emerged in the twentieth century. Jill Fields's engaging, imaginative, and sophisticated history of twentieth-century lingerie tours the world of women's intimate apparel and arrives at nothing less than a sweeping view of twentieth-century women's history via the undergarments they wore. Illustrated throughout and drawing on a wealth of evidence from fashion magazines, trade periodicals, costume artifacts, Hollywood films, and the records of organized labor, An Intimate Affair is a provocative examination of the ways cultural meanings are orchestrated by the "fashion-industrial complex," and the ways in which individuals and groups embrace, reject, or derive meaning from these everyday, yet highly significant, intimate articles of clothing.
