‘In the first edition of his enduring chronicle Bevis Hillier parcelled the changing styles and lifestyles of the 20th Century up to 1980 into an authoritative and highly entertaining design history, from Art Nouveau and Art Deco to Psychedelia and Punk. Now at the end of the Millennium, and as we grapple with ‘hyper reality’ and a new nostalgia, an account of the Eighties and Nineties completes this seamless survey of architecture, interiors, fashion, graphics and everyday objects which has long had an unique appeal for students, collectors and anyone interested in our abiding appetite for style.’
