This CD-ROM and book collection presents a stunning parade of haute couture created over a 50-year period by many of the world's most influential designers. Accurate representations of 120 costumes are included-from the lavish apparel of Lanvin and Poiret and the chic styles of Coco Chanel to the provocative costumes of Lanvin and Worth, and the trendsetting designs of Schiaparelli, Balenciaga, and Balmain. Here are elegant ball gowns and opera cloaks from the Belle Epoque, lovely summer frocks and tailored suits worn during the Roaring Twenties, seductively fluid evening dresses from the Thirties; and dramatic cocktail dresses from the 1940s. All have been carefully researched and meticulously recreated by Tom Tierney for either computer or traditional cut-and-paste use. Each garment is accompanied by a caption indicating the name of the designer, type of costume, and year in which the outfit was created. An additional 16-page section of text provides background information on cultural, social, and economic aspects of the period, while specific notes comment on the fabrics and other details of each outfit. An invaluable resource for artists and craftspeople, these fullcolor graphics can be used for book and magazine illustrations, decoupage work, and a host of other art, craft, and print projects.
