Architecture is an art, expressing most clearly the values of its age, as in the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages or the corporate headquarters of today. Buildings work directly on our emotions, filling us with awe or serenity; they also help us to organize our crowded lives.
This glamorous book is a celebration of that extraordinary phenomenon and fashion essential: the little black dress. The accessible text also provides an invaluable introduction to twentieth-century fashion.
