Almost 10 years after the success of the book l'Elegance, written by Sylvie Caillard and published by Histoire & Collections in 2015, here is the second volume in this series.

Illustrated with numerous photographs of period outfits (garments from the author's personal collection), excerpts from documents and magazines, this work presents 1940s fashion, from before the war through to the end of the Second World War.

This new work will undoubtedly become an essential reference for women's clothing during the Second World War.
