A History of Fashion in 21 Cats

From the bejeweled Byzantines to the grunge era of the 1990s, A History of Fashion in 21 Cats takes the most iconic eras in fashion history and distills each of them into quirkily illustrated cat form.

Taking inspiration from the designers who set the trends and the legends who wore them, as well as placing each style into its fascinating historical context, each chic cat comes with a breakdown of the key features that defined the era so we can understand what makes them so distinctive. Covering a diverse range of cultures, the history spans the ancient Egyptians to the grunge era of the 1990s, taking in Early African fashion, and the Edo era up to Rockabilly, Hollywood glamour, and Harajuku styles.

Illustrated by art-lover and animal enthusiast Nia Gould, A History of Fashion in 21 Cats is a stunningly stylish companion to A History of Portraits in 21 Dogs.
