Paris Fashion and World War Two: Global Diffusion and Nazi Control

摘要

Paris couture has been the subject of more research, exhibitions and books than any other place or sector in the field of fashion history. It can be tempting to think that we know its whole story. But in Paris Fashion and World War Two: Global Diffusion and Nazi Control, Lou Taylor and Marie McLoughlin bring together a wealth of refreshingly original research covering a range of countries in Europe and the Americas to challenge our understanding of Paris and its fashionable influence during the Second World War. In doing so, they demonstrate what can be gained by looking beyond the narrow group of places that tend to dominate anglophone fashion histories.
