About this book
J. L. Nevinson wrote Origin and Early History of the Fashion Plate. The text defines a fashion plate as a costume portrait, that is to say, a portrait not of an individual but one which shows the sort of clothes that are being worn or that are likely to be worn. The text says the main functions of fashionable dress are to draw attention to the wearer, to define his social position, and to show who he is.
The text says Mr. Holland limited his study to hand-colored fashion plates of the period from 1770 to 1899. The text says the summer fashions for 1678 were illustrated in the next Extraordinaire number published on July 20 and represented by a gentleman and his lady. A caption shows the interior of a Parisian milliner’s shop, with accessories to men’s fashionable costume on display.
