Schick und Schrill: Modische Extravaganzen von 1800 bis Heute

This catalog volume focuses on the appearance and reality of fashion through three centuries. On the example of selected fashion artwork, it documents how humans present and define themselves through their clothing - and how they are they are perceived in return. The illustrations also make clear that whoever follows fashion performs a delicate balancing act: mere nuances mark the distinction between stylish and garish. German text.
