In fact, modern fashion proves that a single moment can suddenly open a totally new chapter in history, such as the minute Chanel’s little black dress appeared on the runway. And in celebration of such great historical achievements in this industry, this book showcases all the groundbreaking fashion moments.

The scandal of the first miniskirt, Alexander McQueen’s Armadillo shoes and Jean Paul Gaultier’s cone bra for Madonna, are just a few examples of what is featured in this release. More precisely, this book showcases one hundred fashion turning points, each of them is accompanied by illustrations and a relevant historical context explaining how and why it was considered groundbreaking. Along with social and cultural references, you will also get the chance to dive into the identity of the designer who created the piece as well as the celebrity or the personality who wore it.
