Vintage Weddings by Marnie Fogg

Vintage Weddings by Marnie Fogg

A visual journey through 100 years of wedding styles and dresses, Vintage Weddings takes a close look at the key periods, diverse styles, iconoclastic designers, significant ceremonies and cultural influences in wedding fashions. Organized chronologically, this book shows the reader how to recognize the silhouette that will best suit their body shape, identify luxurious fabrics, contrast various styles, and to source appropriate accessories, from gloves and shoes to flowers, veils, jewellery and table decorations. Throughout the book, individual pieces that epitomize the defining characteristic of each designer or decade are analysed in detail. This book is for those interested in collecting and acquiring all aspects of authentic vintage pieces relating to the wedding ceremony, and also for prospective brides who are buying new, but are looking for sources of inspiration.

Marnie Fogg was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire. An early passion for clothes resulted in her studying fashion at Nottingham College of Art, now Nottingham Trent University, from the age of sixteen. Designing for many levels of the market for a few years was followed by working for luxury knitwear label John Ashpool in Berwick upon Tweed and in the print workshop of Sue Kemp. This experience of all aspects of the fashion and textile industry led to Marnie establishing the first high level fashion course in Wales, where she became a Senior Lecturer. Moving to Derbyshire, Marnie became a visiting lecturer at both Nottingham and Derby Universities at the same time as studying for a Masters Degree in Fine Art Theory and Practice, exhibiting her work in Derby, Beilefeld Germany and Athens. Following the publication of her influential book Boutique, a 1960s phenomenon in 2003 Marnie became a full-time author of best-selling books on fashion and textiles.
