Although this slim but thickly-argued book provides basic information about three important French designers, their fashion houses and signature styles and is informed by the existing scholarship on the history of haute couture, Poiret, Dior and Schiaparelli: Fashion, Femininity and Modernity is not so much a work of fashion history as it is a new and promising combination of autobiographical analyses, feminist theory and philosophy. -- Mary Lynn Stewart, Simon Fraser University * H-France Review *
