View through CrossRef
Fashions in Hair marked the first attempt at a comprehensive historical survey of hair styles through the ages, from Ancient Egypt through Greece, Rome and Anglo-Saxon times to recent trends in fashion. Also shining a light on hairdresser practices, it is now an essential work of reference. Profusely illustrated and carefully documented, it ranges from Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Anglo-Saxon times to recent trends in fashion, and provides an absorbing record of changing attitudes and tastes.
Containing well over 3000 drawings based on many years of research by the author, Fashions in Hair: The First Five Thousand Years is a handbook for theatrical designers and hair artists, illustrators and beauty consultants and anyone curious about moustaches, muttonchops and coiffures in fashion from the time of Cleopatra to Clooney.
