Product Description
In their elegant Providence Shop, Italian emigre sisters Anna and Laura Tirocchi sold French couture clothing to an elite clientele.The shop, remained virtually untouched from 1947 until 1990, when RISD Museum curators were given their choice of its contents, which included apparel by Paul Poiret, Lucien Lelong, and dresses in the style of Madeleine Vionnet. All reflect the advent of modernism in the Paris art world of 1920s and 30s, when designers, painters and printmakers were collaborating as never before to create fashion.From "Paris to Providence" catalogues these efforts with beautiful illustrations and six essays that examine the era's social and art-historical issues. ...

Not the best in the "20th Century Fashion" series.
"The 40'S & 50's : Utility to New Look" was not as good as "1900-02: Linen & Lace" and "The 20s & 30s: Flappers & Vamps," as it didn't give much information on the clothing, but more of what events occurred during the era, but it was still interesting.I "sorta" recommend.

The 40s and 50s: Utility to New Look
This book is a waste of money.As it comprises only 32 pages (no, that isn't a typo),including the index, it covers nothing of the 1940s-1950s in depth. If you are interested in 40s-50s fashion, buy the outstandingBlueprints of Fashion series, instead.These two books were money wellspent.

Really takes you back....
