Costume and fashion Don't know your 'kalasiris', a close-fitting sheath dress worn by Ancient Egyptian women, from your 'Carolle line', the name Christian Dior gave to his silhouette which became known as the 'New Look'? Then Bronwyn Cosgrave's fully illustrated tome, 'Costume & Fashion: A complete history' (published by Hamlyn, £25, in all good bookshops from 15th November) is a one stop source to find out. An editor at 'Vogue', Bronwyn Cosgrave charts the development of both men's and women's fashion from its humble and practical beginnings in 3000 BC, encompassing all points in between including the sumptuousness of the Renaissance and the extravagance of the 18th century before winding up in the 20th century's 'Age of Diversity' and the effects of popular culture, celebrities and technology on fashion.
