This fascinating book traces the development and style of womens and men's clothing from the end of the 19th century to the present day in an intriguing selection of fashion photography from the vast archives of the Mirror Group's Mirrorpix; a collection of images that spans more than a century of British and world history. Catwalk, studio and fashion-shoot photographs reflect the real-life social changes and attitudes that have influenced our fashion, from the bustles and heavy tightly-laced corsets of the Victorian era, through the softer, more fluid lines and brighter colours of the Edwardian period, to the conservative ration-driven outfits of the war years to the broad-shouldered business chic of the 1980s; and the more colourful, softer, more feminine clothes of the present day. Mens clothing, too, has undergone many changes during this period, from the simple, conservative suit for all occasions to a far wider, more casual and more colourful look. Here, too, are the designers, the models and celebrities who influenced what we wore over the course of more than a century.

Only 20 years after the First World War, the Second World War broke out in Europe in 1939 and spread rapidly around the globe, involving most of the world's nations and all of the great powers, who formed two opposing military power blocs: the Allies and the Axis. The former were led by the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union; the primary members of the latter were Germany, Italy and Japan.The war raged until 1945, when the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare (the atomic bomb by the Americans) finally brought an end to the conflict with the last remaining Axis power, the Japanese, in the Far East. The most widespread war in history, the Second World War, involved more than 100 million people who served in military units. Moreover, the major participants adopted a state of 'total war' whereby the nation's economic, industrial and scientific capabilities were dedicated to the war effort, removing the distinction between military and civilian resources. The widespread use of strategic bombing by both sides saw civilians targeted in their homes and at their workplaces, particularly in Britain, Germany and Japan, leading to substantial death tolls. Moreover, mass exterminations of civilian populations by Germany and Japan produced a total number of fatalities that some estimates suggest reached 50 million, while others say that the number could be more than 70 million. It was the deadliest conflict in human history. Legacies of the war include the establishment of the United Nations and the European Union to encourage international cooperation and prevent future conflicts and the rise of the United States and Soviet Union as rival superpowers, leading to the Cold War, which lasted for nearly half a century.This book looks at the Second World War from a predominantly British perspective, based on approximately 350 photographs from the archives of Mirrorpix.
