Classic workwear, sports and military clothing in a new mini format.
Curated by connoisseurs of vintage clothing, the Vintage Showroom is a
vast collection of rare 20th-century pieces that fashion designers and
stylists pay to view, using the cut and detailing of individual garments
as inspiration for their own work. Offering one-of-a-kind access,
Vintage Menswear now makes this unique resource available in book
form.
Featuring 130 of the most influential examples of 20th-century and
earlier European, American and Asian utilitarian tailoring and design,
the book is divided into three sections of sportswear, militaria and
workwear, covering everything from 1940s flying jackets and polar
exploration suits to vintage French denims. Stunning full-page bleeds
and front and back views showcase ground-breaking designs in concept,
shape and cut.
Providing over 300 lavishly illustrated pages of rare, must-see designs,
Vintage Menswear is the essential choice of 20th-century vintage
tailoring and detailing and an inspirational resource for students and
menswear fashion designers and stylists.
