Books with Style American Fashion: Menswear review
In the same series as the bestselling American Fashion and American Fashion Accessories, Assouline and the CFDA present American Fashion Menswear, the most authoritative book to date on the evolution of menswear in the U.S. over the past century. From the outset, America was settled by individualists and adventurers who severed ties with the old world to help clear a path through an unknown land. This new lifestyle necessitated garments that were functional and well-designed, qualities that continue to mark American menswear. From Levi Strauss to the Ivy League, lounge suits to Zoot suits, and cowboys to counterculture, this volume celebrates the quintessential American themes that reverberate throughout the world of fashion.By Robert E.
