“A smart and entertaining journey through the history of
fashion” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) from Project
Runway co-host Tim Gunn. In the beginning there was the fig leaf and the toga.
Crinolines and corsets. What do these antiquated items have
to do with the oh-so-twenty-first-century skinny jeans,
graphic tee, and sexy pumps you slipped into this morning?
Everything! Fashion begets fashion, and life—from economics
to politics, weather to warfare, practicality to the utterly
impractical—is reflected in the styles of any given era,
evolving into the threads you buy and wear today. With the candidness, intelligence, and charm that made him a
household name on Project Runway, Tim Gunn reveals the
fascinating story behind each article of clothing dating
back to ancient times, in a book that reads like a walking
tour from museum to closet. Drawing from his exhaustive
knowledge and intensive research to offer cutting-edge
insights into modern style, Tim explains how the 1960s
ruined American underwear, how Beau Brummell created the
look men have worn for more than a century, why cargo capri
pants are a plague on our nation, and much more. From
Cleopatra’s crown to Helen of Troy’s sandals, from Queen
Victoria’s corset to Madonna’s cone bra, Dynasty’s power
suits to Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits, Tim Gunn’s Fashion
Bible takes you on a runway-ready journey through the highs
and lows of fashion history. Prepare to be inspired as you
change your thinking about the past, present, and future of
fashion!
