While we are all at home and staying safe, we are looking for different distractions to keep our minds off of everything that is happening globally. So, we think we’ve found something you’d really enjoy: a book about fashion, and Fashion History from the 18th to the 20th Century, is one we know you will definitely love.  

In a world where sometimes clothes define people, it’s only natural to lend importance to fashion. Just like everything else, fashion has a history and this book decodes it. Taking into consideration that attires tell a lot about the person who wears them, the Kyoto Costume Institute decided to dive deeper and tell us more. The result is a 632-page volume that displays historical garments, underwear, shoes and fashion accessories dating back to the 18th century.

This book showcases everything fashion and also highlights the trends. And through the stunning photographs, the Institute’s passion for fashion as an intricate art form comes alive to bring out yours during these hard times.
