The history of the house dress is strictly connected to modern life and society, to the re-organization of work and of domestic spaces. At the same time, one of its distinctive features is never to look like a "uniform" but to retain femininity and appeal, mainly thanks to the decoration of fabrics and patterns. Since the 50's the house dress has become the costume of many film protagonists (most recently, Irene in Volverby Pedro Almodovar) and a favourite of many fashion designers. An incredible collection of essays and explorations into one of the most iconic fashion styles of the '50s and beyond.
