Review:
An epic narrative ... the format makes for a handy dip-in guide without losing out on the details. --Dazed Digital
Lavishly and handsomely illustrated ... Fashion: The Whole Story is less concerned with offering analyses, theories, and opinions than in providing encyclopedic, frequently surprising and enlightening information that encourages us to draw our own conclusions. In the process it convinces us that the subject of fashion is not only meaningful - but inexhaustible. --Prospect
Incredibly ambitious ... accessible and very-almost indispensable ... awash with timelines, photographs, covetable fashion artefacts and regular tidbits. --Image
A serious yet readable history that takes the reader from the togas and tunics of early civilisations to the age of ASOS, with a welcome sprinkling of unpredictable detours on the way ... and delightfully detailed inserts. --Daily Telegraph
