Leafing through the book and analysing the various themes, it will be obvious that the phenomenon of 'newstalgia' is investing all round in the female wardrobe; a mode of recovery of the past that does not reproduce it as such, but aims to bring historical garments into the spotlight with a still intact appeal, not undermined by time, reviewed in contemporary terms thanks to new research in materials and updated according to the taste of the moment. Here then appears a row of divine retro inspirations emerging from the days of Prohibition, up to the glossy protagonists of the glorious seventies who, along with references to the fashion of those years, bring with them the trends for 2012-13 and also the taste for the glitter of glam nights at the disco, where sequins and lamé were the basis of the social dress code. When the focus turns away from the trends of the past, it concentrates on the universe of the male and draws from it a heterogeneous inspiration, ranging from the review of 'boyish allure', to the country charms of western films, to then transcend the technological vision of a cyber-woman who has all the appearance of a futuristic fighter.
