Fashionable London. Clothing and modern megalopolis

The monograph of the outstanding historian of fashion, Professor of the Edinburgh University of Christopher Bruward Fashionable London. Clothing and modern megapolis is a study of the fashionable geography of London, the history of its individual areas, fashionable types (dandy and actress, Teddy battle and student) and shops. The author comes from the situation that the birth and development of fashion is impossible without the city and builds its analysis using the example of London, which has become a platform for the formation of a dendist style and survived the rapid industrial growth in the XIX century, including in the production of clothing. In the 20th century, London turned into a real subcultural Mecca, which finally approved him as one of the most important world fashion capitals along with Paris, Milan and New York
