Litchfield Historical Society

In-depth research on the House of Worth, with many fabulous photographs of the drawings from the designers, with hand-written notations and fabric swatches.

Many of the designs struck me as tremendously ahead of their time, considering that they were drawn almost one hundred years ago.

Contrasting images of accepted fashions of that time, and of the previous decades, further underscore the amazing fashion innovations that this house was creating.

Overall, this is a very thorough and well-illustrated book, that I really enjoyed. This could be used as a text book in courses on fashion history.
