20th Century Fashion

While checking out books in the kids section of my local library, I stumbled upon a series called 20th Century Fashion.

I found the following six books: 1900-10s, 20s & 30s, 40s & 50s, 60s, 70s, and the 80s & 90s. Here is the library summary:

20th Century Fashion is a time capsule of clothing for every decade from the 1900s through the 1990s. This exciting series presents style and design as they relate to the world events, people, politics, social change, and technology of each era. Dynamic text and colorful images, along with a fashion time line that places clothing design alongside other world events, capture the glamour and artistry of fashion.

They’re perfect for junior high school students. The layout is great, it includes lots of pictures, and I love the inclusion of world history and technology from that era. There is also a companion series about 20th century design that is on my list to check out in the future.
