Top: <\/strong>The Empire of Fashion: Dressing Modern Democracy \/ El Imperio de lo Ef\u00edmero<\/em> (<\/strong>Gilles Lipovetsky \/ Anagrama)<\/strong><\/p>\n “It raises how fashion is inserted into the hub of Western modernity itself. Today, we have entered a second phase in the secular life of democracies, increasingly organized by seduction, the ephemeral, marginal differentiation; in the second part of the book, fashion appears as an instrument for the consolidation of democracy, of liberal societies, as an unprecedented vehicle in the dynamics of modernization. ”<\/p>\n Bookshop El Drag\u00f3n Lector, calle Sagunto, 20<\/p>\n Top: History of Fashion and Princesses \/ Historia de Moda y Princesas (Cristina Egea, Publixed)<\/strong><\/p>\n “This is an album of great format that immerses us in history to learn about the lives of fifteen real princesses, who lived from ancient Egypt to the nineteenth century. We really like the informative text but also reminiscent of the past, because some stories could well be pure legend or fairy tales. It is a very interesting and illustrative book to know the evolution of taste in clothes and discover how culture is reflected in garments. ”<\/p>\n Bookshop La F\u00e1brica, calle de la Alameda, 9<\/p>\n Top: A Style of her Own \/ Un Estilo Propio (Louise Dahl-Wolfe, La F\u00e1brica Editorial)<\/strong><\/p>\n “Considered one of the great American photographers devoted specifically to fashion, Louise Dahl-Wolfe was respected for her extensive knowledge about the technique of colour and lighting.
