Style from the Nile Egyptomania in Fashion From the 19th Century to the Present Day by Isabella Campagnol

 This is such a fascinating book. It goes right back into the start of how Egyptian history and exploration influenced fashion, from the Napoleonic expedition to the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb to the present day. Campagnol studies how 'Egypt-mania' influenced every aspect of fashion, including accessories, hairstyles, costume designs for films and even home wares, and includes many amusing and interesting anecdotes.. The account was accompanied by beautiful illustrations and photographs I also learned about interesting women who I had never heard of before - Irene Brinn and Rosa Bonini.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
