Reviews
With the eye of a very experienced costume designer, Deirdre Clancy has written the essential reference book on fashion and clothing design since WWII. The written text is direct and insightful and her painted illustrations are a master class on how to render fabric and clothing., "A really useful and informative survey of how fashions change - beautifully illustrated by one of our greatest costume designers." -- Gregory Doran, Artistic Director at the Royal Shakespeare Company, UK "Deirdre Clancy has written the essential reference book on fashion and clothing design since WWII. The written text is direct and insightful and her painted illustrations are a master class on how to render fabric and clothing." -- Ralph Funicello, award-winning set designer and Don Powell Chair in Set Design at San Diego State University, USA. "This beautifully illustrated new edition of Costume Since 1945 brings this visual history of dress up to date. Written by a highly experienced costume designer, it inspires readers to draw figuratively and with empathy, essential traits of costume design, which deals with performers creating character partly through costume." -- Donatella Barbieri, Research Fellow in Design for Performance at London College of Fashion, UK, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, UK "With hundreds of vivid, life-like illustrations, this book merits a home on every costume designer's shelf. Blending fashionable dress history with anecdotes, Costume Since 1945 outlines the dominant dress trends for men, women and children in the second part of the twentieth century and renders valuable physical and psychological sketches of the people who wore them." -- Tanya Williams Wetenhall, Assistant Professor of Design in the Department of Theatre & Dance at The George Washington University, USA, "A really useful and informative survey of how fashions change - beautifully illustrated by one of our greatest costume designers." -- Gregory Doran, Artistic Director at the Royal Shakespeare Company, UK "Deirdre Clancy has written the essential reference book on fashion and clothing design since WWII.

I shared it with my family and we had a special journey, going back in time, unleashing treasured memories of fashion events that are often left on a dusty shelf. It's a great fashion ride!" - Fashion, Society & Popular Culture, This beautifully illustrated new edition of Costume Since 1945 brings this visual history of dress up to date. Written by a highly experienced costume designer, it inspires readers to draw figuratively and with empathy, essential traits of costume design, which deals with performers creating character partly through costume.
