Vintage Fashion 1,000 is an encyclopedic visual journey through women's fashion that features more than 1,000 of the most remarkable vintage items ever sold on the resale market. Classified by decade and accompanied by the history of each item's creation, the 850 articles of clothing and 150 bags depicted in this book offer a panoramic look across the evolution of style. In addition, thirty-five profiles explore memorable fashion moments and personalities, moving from a designer's retrospective, to a collector's biography, to an interview with an expert. This comprehensive volume also includes a practical guide to the best addresses for shopping for vintage around the world, as well as tips for bargain-hunting and getting the most out of auctions.
