Petite encyclopédie de la mode : des cours royales aux podiums

This book takes a close look at our wardrobe: from ancient rituals to contemporary catwalks, textile revolutions to social movements, pop icons to industrial changes.

With over 100 entries, this illustrated dictionary traces the history of clothing, accessories and key concepts that have influenced the way we dress and present ourselves to the world. It invites us to view fashion as a mirror of our societies, combining historical rigour, surprising anecdotes and societal analysis. Each illustration, created by a former ESMOD student, is a work of art in its own right, interacting with the text to make clothing an object of culture and memory.
