Fashion History: A History from the 18th to the 20th Century by The Kyoto Costume Institute is a special 25th anniversary edition with two volumes packaged in a slipcase. Whether it's a sari, kimono, or business suit, clothes are an essential key to an individual's culture, class, personality or even religion. The Kyoto Costume Institute recognises the importance of understanding clothing sociologically, historically and artistically. Founded in 1978, the KCI holds one of the world's most extensive clothing collections and has curated many exhibitions worldwide. With an emphasis on Western women's clothing, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th Century to the present day.
