- Description
- This book deals with German fashion from World War I through to the end of the Third Reich. It explores the failed attempt by the Nazi state to construct female image that would mirror official gender policies, inculcate feelings of national pride, promote a German victory on the fashion runways of Europe and support a Nazi-controlled European fashion industry. Not only was fashion one of the country's largest industries throughout the inter-war period, but German women ranked among the most elegantly dressed in all of Europe.
