Summary: A perfect Chanel buttonhole, a beautiful Schiaparelli applique, the exquisite braiding on a sleeve by Bill Gibb and a faultless seam on a Balenciaga jacket -- all these details, combined with the most luxurious fabrics, make up a fashion designer's special signature and talent. It is these the Modern Fashion in Detail celebrates. This is the first time a whole volume has been devoted entirely to close-ups illustrating the magnificent intricacies of high fashion. To envision these details in context, each photograph is accompanied by a diagrammatic line drawing of the whole garment, covering everything from buttons, bows, beads and sequins to tucks, pleats, collars and cuffs. This is an essential reference for anyone interested in fashion and design.
