Tim Gunn's Fashion Bible
by Calhoun, Tim Gunn Ada
In the beginning there was the fig leaf... and the toga. Crinolines and ruffs. Chain mailand 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 lifeâÈ'from economics to politics, weather to warfare, practicality to the utterly impracticalâÈ'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 with Tim at your side. From CleopatraâÈçs crown to Helen of TroyâÈçs sandals, from Queen VictoriaâÈçs corset to MadonnaâÈçs cone bra, DynastyâÈçs power suits to Hillary ClintonâÈçs pantsuits, Tim GunnâÈçs Fashion Bible takes you on a runway-ready journey through the highs and lows of fashion history. 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. He will make you see your wardrobe in a whole new way. Prepare to be inspired as you change your thinking about the past, present, and future of fashion!
