Библиография

Когда мы только взялись за наше исследование, больше всего нам нравилось обращаться к большой «Энциклопедии костюма и мировой моды» издательства «Берг», вышедшей в 2010 году при поддержке «Оксфорд Юниверсити Пресс». Мы неоднократно справлялись об интересующих нас вопросах как в печатном варианте «Берга» в Нью-Йоркской публичной библиотеке, так и на сайте BergFashionLibrary.com (в издании содержится множество самых лучших печатных, онлайн – и фоторесурсов). Интернет-материалы доступны только после оформления подписки, однако если вас заинтересовал этот ресурс, можно узнать в местной общественной библиотеке, не оформлена ли подписка у них.
