Dress Codes. The ultimate compendium of clothing from the 18th to the 20th century

Take a trip through three centuries of trend. In this spectacular collection from the Kyoto Costume Institute, one of the world’s most extensive clothing collections, the smartest minds and sharpest eyes in fashion studies walk us through the outer- and underwear, shoes, and accessories that have defined people around the world.

Clothes define people. A person’s attire, whether it’s a sari, kimono, or business suit, is an essential code to his or her culture, class, personality, even faith. Founded in 1978, the Kyoto Costume Institute recognizes the importance of understanding clothes from sociological, historical, and artistic perspectives. With one of the world’s most extensive clothing collections, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day.

Showcasing the Institute’s vast collection, Fashion History is a fascinating excursion through clothing trends from the 18th to the 20th century. Featuring impeccable photography of clothing expertly displayed and arranged on custom-made mannequins, it is a testimony to attire as “an essential manifestation of our very being” and to the Institute’s passion for fashion as a complex and intricate art form.

The authors include some of the smartest minds and sharpest eyes in fashion studies: Akiko Fukai (Director and Curator Emeritus of the Kyoto Costume Institute), Tamami Suoh (Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute), Miki Iwagami (Lecturer of fashion history at Bunka Gakuen University, Tokyo), Reiko Koga (former professor of fashion history at Bunka Gakuen University, Tokyo), and Rie Nii (Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute).
The Kyoto Costume Institute (KCI) collects and preserves outstanding examples of fashion through the centuries. It is one of the leading centers of fashion research, sharing its findings in both exhibitions and publications.

Three centuries of women's clothing

Founded in 1978, the Kyoto Costume Institute holds one of the world`s most extensive clothing collections and has curated many exhibitions worldwide. Showcasing highlights from the Institute`s archives of skilled photographs depicting the clothing expertly displayed and arranged on custom-made mannequins, Fashion History is a fascinating excursion through the last three centuries of clothing trends.

When it comes to trends no segment of the design world is more powerful, more influential or more closely watched than fashion. From what's hot in type to the coolest new colour, to the style and mood of the moment, the fashion world sets the tone and the look for the wider design community. This volume presents a diverse portfolio of innovative design work inspired by cutting-edge fashion trends. It features fashion examples from print advertising (magazines), retail space (store displays), packaging (boxes and bags) and more. Each photograph is accompanied by a description of materials used in the design and sidebar features explore the role of industry players such as art directors, photographers, models, magazine editors and stylists.

This book brings together an extensive collection of models and poses which serve as a primary source of inspiration to develop personal style. In the form of a collection of outfits, styles, prints and accessories, this exceptional range of articles take on their own personal shape when applied to a silhouette. Beginning with a simple 2D sketch of the garment, its subsequent use in the fashion sketch is seen to reveal some unexpected and sudden changes: the perception of weight changes when the model is standing, the volume is projected by movement and shading highlights hitherto unnoticed details. Only in a dynamic pose can we perceive the different angles visible in reality. Likewise, the ever present illustrations of semi-naked figures represent the human anatomy for which the garments are to be designed.

Fashion is another name for vogue. It stands at the forefront of the avant-garde trends. Illustration is the most flexible graphic design which could convey designers' inspirations freely. What if fashion meets illustration? When fashion is illustrated with diverse illustration approaches, the passionate images would enhance the fascinating charm of fashion. In the book, pencil, watercolour, colour pen, marker pen, software, collage and synthesis approaches are introduced in detail. The trendy elements in fashion are illustrated in a fresh way.
