A history book on Chinese clothing

It is a must-read book - Antonia Finnane's Changing Clothes in China: Fasion, History, Nation.

This book studies the Chinese fasions from late Imperial China to the modern time. It covers both men and women clothing; but mainly concentrates on women's clothings. It provides many color and black and white photos and as well singl-line illustrations. It is not only a book about fashions, but also a book of culutral history.

Highly recommended.
