Hidden Underneath: A History Of Lingerie
By Farid Chenoune. Published by Assouline 2005. Printed in Italy. Text in English. Softcover with dust jacket. 198 pages. Shocking pink softcover under the dust jacket! Measures 12 inches tall by 9 and 3/4 inches wide. "From the restrictive corsets of the late 1800s to the revealing thongs of the early 20th century, women's lingerie fashion has changed drastically. This evolution mirrors changes in society regarding both the role of women and the ideals of beauty. Thanks to such items as the laced, corseted waist of turn-of-the-century coquettes, the uplifted busts of early-1990s supermodels, the sexy lingerie of a 1950s pin-up, and the see-through (or entirely absent) bras of the 1970s, women's underwear has provided the unseen superstructure on which modern canons of beauty have been based." Revealing text by Paris based fashion historian Farid Chenoune gives the context for the story of lingerie and features quotations from songs, books, and movies through the decades. Photographs of some of the most beautiful women of the century -- from the revue girl La Goulue to Madonna, from Marilyn Monroe to Christy Turlington, from glamorous icons and international sex symbols to lesser known Venuses, adorn the pages of this book.
Condition: Excellent condtion. Dust jacket has some very light scuffs, mark on top page ends along with a few very light scratches,otherwise a clean, tight copy, no markings. Tight binding. Beautiful coffee table display piece $49.
