Description:

Costume and clothes are the most visible means we have of expressing ourselves. This title presents the fascinating evolvement of costume and clothes throughout the period from 15th century to the present day.

Synopsis:

Costume and clothes are the most visible means we have of expressing ourselves. For hundreds of years they have been used to signify status, power, political messages and wealth, while for ordinary people they have been adapted for various trades and professions. Perhaps because very few people, past or present, are immune to the seduction of beautiful clothes, we can relate our own experience of fashionable dress to that of our ancestors.
