The true story of style, told through history's fashion pioneers.

«The Fashion Chronicles» by fashion historian Amber Butchard, author of «The Fashion of Film», is an exploration of the most fascinating style stories throughout history.

The history of fashion is a story of style and power, grace and propaganda. Starting with Eve and her fig leaf - via Joan of Arc, Louis XIV and Lord Byron, right up to the modern figures of Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo, Malcolm X and Beyoncé — Butchart examines the best-dressed people the world has ever seen, telling the story of their individual style and unlocking the secrets behind it.

Some have influenced the fashion of today, while some have used their clothing to change the world. But all have a sartorial story to tell, and «The Fashion Chronicles» is here to tell it.
