Historia del traje en occidente es un clásico de la historia de la moda. Escrita por el historiador francés François Boucher, en esta nueva edición, su monumental trabajo ha sido rigurosamente ampliado y revisado por un equipo de expertos internacionales. El libro constituye un manual basico que mezcla una rigurosidad y exhaustividad propias de otra epoca con una presentacion y unos contenidos totalmente actualizados, y convierten al clasico de François Boucher en una obra fundamental. A traves de la exploracion profunda de las fuentes historiograficas, de la confeccion y la fabricacion, de la iconografia, y de la evolucion de las formas del traje, Boucher aborda un panorama amplio y completo que abarca desde la tosca vestimenta prehistorica hasta la armonia estudiada del traje antiguo, o desde el austero atuendo de la Edad Media hasta las modas refinadas y llenas de fantasia de los tiempos modernos. El libro esta integrado por una extensa seleccion de ilustraciones, rigurosamente elegidas y siempre significativas, que constituyen un catalogo grafico de incalculable valor para conocer a fondo la historia del traje. Pero no se detiene solamente en el mero registro documental, y realiza tambien un analisis transversal del complejo fenomeno de la moda y la vestimenta, donde se tienen en cuenta tanto los aspectos materiales de esta dimension de la vida del hombre como sus motivaciones psicologicas. La historia de las costumbres hace, pues, tambien acto de presencia, y el traje se muestra como signo social, en su papel diferenciador entre edades, clases, funciones o profesiones, y en su papel como reflejo de la expresion personal de cada individuo.

Scott Schuman just wanted to take photographs of people on the street who looked great. His now famous blog ['the bellwether American site that turned photo blogging into an art form'New York Times] was an attempt to showcase the wonderful and varied sartorial tastes of real people - not only those of the fashion industry. The book is a beautiful anthology of Scott's favourite shots from around the world. They include photographs of well-known fashion figures as well as those shots of the anonymous passerby whose imagination and taste delight the viewer.From the streets of Rio to Bejing, Stockholm to Milan, these are the people that have inspired Scott and in turn, inspired designers and people of all ages, wages and nationalities with an interest in fashion. Intimately designed and created with Scott, the book is a handsome object in its own right, in full colour on hand-picked, quality paper.
