Edwardian fashion and etiquette are explored through the life and extensive wardrobe of London socialite Heather Firbank. Beautifully illustrated with new photography of finely crafted evening gowns, tailored suits and elaborate hats as well as contemporary photographs and pages from Heather’s own albums of fashion cuttings, London Society Fashion vividly maps the London couture scene of Edwardian Britain, and charts the changes in fashion through the tumultuous first decades of the twentieth century.
