This volume explores the elements which formed the key strengths of British fashion over the last 50 years: tailoring, bohemian styles, romantic- and special-occasion dress, country clothing and accessories. Each section features examples of the work of designers, such as Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies, who dressed the Queen, to contemporary talents, such as Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano, who have turned tradition on its head and are now part of a fashion industry which is recognized throughout the world for its excellence.
