Item Description

Love fashion? Then you'll love these two wonderful publications! 

First, explore the unique and important history of the stuff your jeans are made of in Denim: Fashion's Frontier

"Denim is one of the world’s favorite fabrics, and today it accounts for the largest segment of the clothing industry. This handsome book explores the multifaceted history of denim and examines the continually evolving relationship between it and high fashion. Prized for its durability and strength, denim began as an ideal fabric for workwear... Over the past 160 years, however, film, television, and advertising have helped transform denim into a symbol of youth, rebellion, sex, and the ever-ephemeral quality of “cool.” Featuring previously unpublished archival material from the Denim Council, an insightful text, and copious illustrations, this book offers a new perspective on denim’s rapid rise from the 19th century to today."

 

Next, take a look at the inventive designs and unique persona of one of fashion's top designers in the exhibit catalog from the 2016 exhibit at The Jewish Museum, Isaac Mizrahi.

"Beginning with Isaac Mizrahi’s first fashion collection, which debuted to critical acclaim in 1986, and running though the present day, this stylish, lavishly illustrated book presents his signature couture collections. Mizrahi’s exuberant couture style is classic American, inventively reimagined... Although Mizrahi is best known for his clothing, his work in theater, film, and television is also explored. The result is a spirited discourse on high versus low, modern glamour, and contemporary culture."
