Just like with anything else, when interested in a subject it is important to research it! I found this book in Barnes and Nobles one day last winter. It was in the bargain section, naturally I figured it would be your run of the mill coffee table book, but it actually turned out this was not the case. The book is Fashion: A History from the 18th to the 20th Century released by the Kyoto Costume Institute. Inside are gorgeous photos of clothes from the collection, men's and women's, as well as detailed descriptions of material, designers, and the way fashion relates to history and the zeitgeist of the centuries mentioned. I would definitely recommend, even if for just the pictures.
