costumes, style, moda and fashions...

[azzumail]

Hi to all guys!
i'm new, i'm an italian girl of 26yo and i'm glad to be here
and... i have an important question :)
i'm interested to study the costumes and dress style of various ages, like victorian dresses or medieval style, and others... do you know where i can find something about?
some sites or ebook?
thank you ^___^

[azzumail]

no one knows where to find something about?
it's a shame :(

I also would love a resource that would show me the differences between periods and cultures. I would suggest some kind of theatre costume book. But the problem is that it would only cover one period and I assume that you, like me, want something that covers a little broader area. If anyone has suggestions they'd be welcome.

[azzumail]

yes, i search something that show the specify of the different styles in the different story's period :) i hope to hear something from you ^___^

ENCICLOPEDIA ILLUSTRATA DELLA MODA (http://www.brunomondadori.com/scheda_opera.php?ID=1658&un=)

questo dovrebbe essere un buon libro, considerato il numero di pagine.
è lo stesso che devo ricordarmi prima o poi di comprare:rendered:

In English:
I'm talking about this book:
The Pictorial Encyclopedia of Fashion (http://www.digmodern.com/product/4302)

it's on my buy list :)
