Description:
One of the most original, prophetic and controversial American designers of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, Rudi Gernreich (1922-1985), was fashion's bad boy and its oracle. The creator of the topless swimsuit and the thong, the see-through shirt and the "uni-sex" look, he infused Seventh Avenue with wit, intellect and the beauty of surprise. Parallel text in English, French and German. 254 pages : illustrations (some color), portraits (some color) ; 32 cm. Black boards, unclipped dust jacket (now in a removable protective sleeve). Shelf wear to jacket, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.

First Edition Thus. 4to. Cloth in Illustrated Jacket. Fashion Monograph. Fine/Fine. 224pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English, German and French.

Claxton, best known for his Jazz and Hollywood work was also the primary photographer of the designer's collections for almost two decades; virtually all of the images here were taken by him.
