I've admired Tom Tierney's work for years, so I bought this book to complete my collection of his "Great Fashion Designs of ..." series.
Unfortunately, it is not among his best works. The dolls are not particularly well drawn (one has a huge forehead). The selection of outfits does not represent the best designs of the decade, nor the best work of the designers included. There are a number of pieces from labels which were not influential during the era (Adolfo, Nina Ricci, Arnold Scaasi, Bob Mackie, etc). Also, some designers are represented by dresses which are not the best examples of their styles (Versace, Gaultier, Alexander McQueen for Givenchy).
One of the few highlights is a beaded cloak by Galliano for Dior. The detail and color of this illustration are superb.
