Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Before Tibor died, he and Maira traveled extensively and collected images of the insane, inspired, and beautiful clothing and other body ornament. Here are photographs with no text beyond section headings; captions and credits are appended. Among the sections body art, accessories, tribes, standard issue, optics, dressed to kill, facemasks, modesty, mobile home, headgear, holywear, and death. There is no index, bibliography, or page numbers.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This survey of lifestyles and cultures takes a broad view of what constitutes fashion. It's a tribute to "found" design, to how people dress themselves all over the world, to the sensibilities of everyday people, compiled by two of the world's greatest graphic artists.
