Books by Lucy Johnston

An engaging and authoritative overview of the history of footwear from the Middle Ages to today, illustrated with rare and luxurious examples.

A revised and updated paperback edition of this survey of international designers and makers working at the intersection of handicrafts and digital technology.

Reveals the decorative seams, refined stitching, voluptuous drapery, strict corseting and slashing and stamping that make up some of the garments in the V&A's superlative 19th-century fashion collection. This title gives the reader a unique opportunity to examine historical clothing that is often too fragile to be on display.
