punk rockers. Industrial and technical advances are also included, for
what would our century be without
man-made fibers, mass marketing,
or ready-to-wear clothing, and the influence on fashion of space exploration/ One of the many highlights in
Byrde's volume are the pop culture
illustrations, including the teddy
boys, the Beatles, Twiggy, and Pop Art
forms.
This wealth of information is welldocumented, with the illustrations
appearing in chronological order and
accompanied by explanatory text
under the captions "Notes," "Head,"
"Body," and '~ccessories." Repetitive
defining of period tenus is kept to a
minimum with the detailed glossary,
and the selected bibliography will be
welcomed by those inspired to further exploration.
