About This Item

(CLAXTON, WILLIAM) (GERNREICH, RUDI). Moffitt, Peggy & William Claxton. THE RUDI GERNREICH BOOK - SIGNED BY WILLIAM CLAXTON. Signed by the Photographer. Koln, GERMANY: Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 1999. 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. A labor of love by Peggy Moffitt and husband William Claxton, this is the coolest tribute to Los Angeles' visionary fashion designer - the man that brought us see-through, unisex garb, the topless swimsuit, and so much more! Moffitt was Gernreich's frequent model, collaborator, and muse. 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. If you really want to know who made sixties fashion mod, op, pop and groovy, check this extraordinary book out. A most handsome example of the 1999 first Taschen edition additionally BOLDLY SIGNED "William Claxton" in black ink on the title page. PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its weight - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase. 3-8228-7197-4 Inventory Number: 022022
