Одежда, будь то из кожи, шерсти или ткани, имеет множество предназначений. Она защищает тело человека от воздействия внешних факторов, скрывает его, одновременно привлекая внимание.

При написании данной книги за основу были взяты: каталог европейской моды, составленный Чезаре Вечеллио, современные каталоги "Товары почтой", журналы мод, которые служили источником вдохновения для живописцев, скульпторов, рисовальщиков, а также для дизайнеров одежды и первоклассных модельеров.

Представленные здесь оригинальные иллюстрации представляют интерес для историков-любителей и позволяют судить о различных профессиях и ремеслах.

Не удивляйтесь, если на страницах этой книги вы увидите модели, созданные несколько веков назад, которые как будто сошли со страниц современных модных журналов.
