Fashion Sourcebooks is a series of beautifully illustrated paperbacks presenting the costume drawings of John Peacock. The series charts the development of women's and men's clothing from 1900 onwards, with a volume devoted to the fashions of each decade. John Peacock's Fashion Sourcebooks are destined to become an indispensable part of the library of any fashion enthusiast, historian, or collector, and are sure to provide inspiration to any designer or student working in the performing arts.
Fashion in the 1970s grew increasingly individualistic. The ethnic look flourished. Colors became bolder and brighter, and loose, baggy clothes were introduced. Women's skirts gradually lengthened and became more flowing, while men's dress incorporated frilled or patterned shirts, wide ties, and embroidered waistcoats. Flared pants were worn by both sexes.

Open a current issue of American or British Vogue and you'll find pages of editorial spreads indebted to Norman Parkinson. Caroline Trentini walking with horses in Patagonia. Daria Werbowy crossing Broadway in a jacquard coat. It's action realism - and Parkinson was its pioneer. He married the restrained elegance of court photography to the increasing mobility of pre-WWII London, placing fashion against a backdrop of sooty laneways and village pubs. A Very British Glamour, Rizzoli's coffee table retrospective, focuses on these early and innovative days of Parkinson's career. It's a cursory read (no critical analysis or thorough biographical detail here) and the written scholarship is sparse - just a few pages chronicling the milestones in each of the six "chapters" of Parkinson's public life. Which is forgivable because the book is full of exquisitely curated iconic images from the Parkinson canon. From debs in kid gloves to his wife Wenda in Times Square, Parkinson's humourous spirit remained consistent over the decades. (See Pamela Minchin jumping into the English Channel in 1939 and Jerry Hall diving off a pedestal in 1970s Communist Russia.) It is indeed a very good introduction to the one they called Parks.
