About This Item
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.
