Book

The suit: form, function and style

by  Christopher Breward

Description

Unpicks the story of [the suit], from its emergence in western Europe at the end of the seventeenth century to today. Suit-wearing figures such as the Savile Row gentleman and the Wall Street businessman have long embodied ideas of tradition, masculinity, power and respectability, but the suit has also been used to disrupt concepts of gender and conformity. Adopted and subverted by women, artists, musicians and social revolutionaries through the decades, the suit is also a device for challenging the status quo
