This book invites you on an extraordinary journey. It is known that the history of costume spans several millennia. Formed at the dawn of time as an indicator of social status, costume, like clothing in general, has evolved over time from a simple necessity into a source of ideas, inspiration, and exquisite pleasure. What style to choose, what fabrics to sew from, what accessories to add variety to your outfit? These questions have always been relevant for people. What fashionistas of different countries and eras have not come up with to look graceful and elegant! Carmagnole, shenza, footen, organdy, echelle... These names from the world of fashion, with which the entire history of costume is inextricably linked, sound captivating and excite the imagination. 'Fashion is a game that must be played seriously,' said the great couturier Karl Lagerfeld, creating his famous clothing collections.
