The world's fascination with the grandeur of the Russian Imperial family endures. This book, now in paperback. examines the family's collection of men's fashion. It is illustrated with extraordinary new photographs taken at the Kremlin and accompanied by 18th- and 19th-century portraits and photographs of the Tsars, their families, and their court.Starting in the 1730s with lavishly embroidered coats and elaborately patterned silks from the wardrobe of Tsar Peter II and spanning a period of almost two centuries, these garments document a unique dialogue between military uniform, court dress, European fashion, and traditional Russian dress.
