Five decades of glamorous clothing styles spanning the second half of the 20th century are documented in this splendid CD-ROM and book collection. Designers, artists, and craftworkers will find the 140 full-color images of highfashion models ideal for practical use; and nostalgia buffs will love perusing this parade of eye-popping fashions. Included among the designs are classic Chanel suits and a trapeze-line wedding dress by St. Laurent, an innovative Courreges pantsuit, a minidress by Mary Quant, a chic shirtdress by Halston, Laura Ashley's signature country prints, a gorgeous summer gown by Carolina Herrera, and Galliano's Scheherazade-inspired kimono and gown. Carefully researched and meticulously rendered by Tom Tierney for either computer or traditional cutand-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. Of immense reference value for costume historians, this CDROM and book set will be of use to any professionals working in fashionrelated areas.
