Review: Thanks to Amazon's great Out-of-Print Service I am now the proud owner of an immaculate copy of this book.

Martin Battersby traces the transformation of the dressmaker to couturier during the Art Deco period. This was a time when the fashion illustrater was almost as big as the designer and the book covers illustrators such as Paul Iribe and Erte. There are over 100 illustrations, many in colour. It is a great reference book.
