This is a collector's item about menswear. Every man should read and learn from.
"Women are into fashion, men are into
style, style is forever" – Domenico Dolce
Womenswear progresses in leaps and bounds,
fueled by the readiness of women to wear what may at the time be perceived as
the radical or outrageous. Not so menswear –menswear evolves, slowly. But from
what? Behind nearly every item in the modern male wardrobe is a "first of
its kind" – the definitive item, often designed by a single company or
brand for specialist use, on which all subsequent versions have been based (and
originals of which are now collector items in the booming vintage market).
Icons of Men's Style examines, garment by
garment, the most important and famous of these products – their provenance and
history, the stories of their design, the brand/company that started it all and
how the item shaped the way men dress today.
