This book contains costume biographies of six great people. Separated by centuries, they were all style icons of their time. Now we can see their lives through the prism of fashion and the history of costume - from a new, unexpected angle. After all, the clothes reflect both the personality of its owner and the era itself. Olga Khoroshilova helps the silent details of the costume, captured in old photographs and portraits, to find a voice. The book is written, among other things, on the basis of unpublished archival materials.
