Sex And Suits: The Evolution Of Modern Dress

In 'Sex and Suits' brilliant essayist and art critic Anne Hollander charts the development of men's and women's fashion from their divergence in the medieval period to their convergence through to the late 20th century. Challenging the idea that the suit's success is merely down to its practicality, this trailblazing book argues that men have been fashion's true style-setters and that as women's fashion has taken on elements of men's style through tailoring, so men have reclaimed the embellishment and colour of past eras.0First published in 1994 to great acclaim, this classic text is as fresh and provocative as ever.
