Downton Abbeyera fashion is explored through the life and extensive wardrobe of real-life Edwardian London socialite Heather Firbank (18881954), whose treasures, bought from the world's leading couturiers and the very best dressmakers and tailors in London, were gifted to the V&A after her death. The collection forms an invaluable record of a stylish and wealthy woman's taste from about 1905 to 1920, and actually served as inspiration toDownton Abbey's Emmy Awardwinning costume designer, Susannah Buxton. Beautifully illustrated with new photography of Firbank's evening gowns, tailored suits, and hats, the book also features contemporary photographs and pages from Firbank's own fashion cuttings albums.
