FASHION SINCE 1900 (THAMES & HUDSON, 2010) BY VALERIE D. MENDES AND AMY DE LA HAYE

“Balenciaga had a prolific career from 1917 until 1968 and this survey offers a wonderful overview of all the significant developments in fashion during that period and beyond his death in 1972. It focuses on key movements and innovations in style and explores these through the work of the most original and influential designers. The book also covers many of the later generations of fashion designers who are featured in the exhibition.”
