The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of FASHION AND FASHION DESIGNERS
Georgina Callan
This dictionary covers fashion in all its aspects, with entries on fashion
designers, couture houses, manufacturers, makers of accessories and jewelry,
hairdressers, and costume designers for theatre and film. It includes all the chief
types of garment, as well as fabrics and furs. Artists and art movements which
have influenced fashion have a place here, as do fashion magazines and fashion
editors, photographers and illustrators. Fashion movements, including street
styles, are also covered. In addition, a brief look through these pages will reveal
entries such as ‘Madonna’, ‘boutique’, ‘Twiggy’ and ‘Seventh Avenue’, which
fall into none of the categories mentioned above but which are nevertheless part
of the story of fashion.
