Beads
in Fashion 1900-2000
by Leslie A. Pina et al
Book Description: Beads have been a fascinating method for embellishing
fashion since ancient cultures sought personal adornment. The twentieth
century has seen some of the most innovative, colorful, and wonderful uses
for beading as an enhancement in apparel, and, recently, beads have come
into fashion as never before. Both vintage and recent costume are desirable
as much, if not more, for their beading as for the overall design. This
lavishly illustrated book includes chapters on the history, techniques,
preservation, and collecting of beads in the world of fashion. With 534
beautiful color photos, a detailed text, captions, value guide, index,
and bibliography, it is the first to cover both vintage and recent costume
and accessories in one volume. With clothing by designers, ranging from
Fortuny and Mackie to unknowns, this volume will delight anyone in the
field of fashion.
