The Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion

Finding definitions for fashion is easier than ever. The Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion, 3rd Edition defines more than 15,000 fashion terms, including apparel, accessories, and their components; historical and textile terms that relate to contemporary fashion; and the language of the fashion business. Its organization of 51 broad categories, such as activewear, blouses and tops, clothing, construction details, footwear, headwear, jewelry, laces, necklines, shirts, skirts, and waistlines, promotes comprehension of related terms.

Categories are fully cross-referenced to the alphabetical listing. Includes terms not readily found in ordinary dictionaries and pronunciation guides for foreign words. An appendix of designers includes emerging leaders. Lavish illustrations by Bina Abling enhance definitions, capturing both the details and style of fashion. Labeled anatomical drawings show how the parts of fashion items fit together. Alphabetical page tabs add to the ease of use.

This dictionary is the ideal reference for designers, fashion media, instructors, students, historians, and fashion enthusiasts.
