Discover Denim, l’épopée illustrée d’un tissu de légende (Denim: The Illustrated Epic of a Legendary Fabric), the definitive book by Graham Marsh and Paul Trynka published in 2003 that traces the complete cultural history of jeans and denim fabric. This 128-page book in French, richly illustrated in color and black and white (ISBN 9782909450940), explores the evolution of this iconic fabric from its origins in 17th-century France to its explosion in global popular culture.
How did this humble piece of fabric manage to captivate both cowboys in the North American deserts and models on European haute couture runways? How did a commercial product become a symbol of counterculture, individuality, and sex appeal? This book answers all these questions by revealing the secrets behind the making of early American workwear, uncovering forgotten archives, and debunking common misconceptions. It offers a comprehensive description of rare and classic pieces, a glossary to identify vintage details (buckle back, arcuate, etc.), as well as previously unpublished images by Robert Mitchum, Eddie Cochran, and Jackson Pollock. A true denim bible, this celebration of jeans in all its facets is in excellent, like-new condition.
A must-have for enthusiasts of fashion, textile history and popular culture.
