Description

Written by the curator of the accompanying April-August 1998 Costume Institute exhibit, this book views individual fashions along with the characteristics and techniques of a number of the innovators. Five sections discuss wrapping and tying clothes that adjusted to the individual wearer; clothes that stressed easy fastening; clothes with big pockets; mix-and-match separates; and elements adapted from menswear and carefree activewear. Also included are profiles of 23 major designers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. Read more
