Discusses fashion photography, the tradition of Italian craftsmanship and the role of the atelier, the rise of "antifashion," the supremacy of Italy in men's fashion design, the great strides of Missoni and other designers in the creation of high style knitwear, the emergence of the designer in fur in the hands of the Fendi sisters and others, and many other aspects of the fashion world. These essays are accompanied with hundreds of striking b/w and color photographic reproductions and illustrations
