Bravehearts : men in skirtsWhat do Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Prince Charles, and Boy George have in common? These and other sharply dressed, sexually secure, 21st-century men are incorporating skirts into their wardrobes. In this provocative, one-of-a-kind book, Andrew Bolton traces the warrior origins of kilts and sarongs and reveals how, far from feminizing men, skirts actually reinforce their virility. Some 150 photographs illustrate this colorful salute to the growing numbers of the few, if proud, men in skirts.
The quest of human beauty : an illustrated historyAn extensive compendium of the disparate notions of human beauty throughout history and cultures. It illuminates how and why, for thousands of years, men and women across the globe have gone to elaborate lengths to alter their natural appearance.
Fashion at the edge : spectacle, modernity and deathlinessExperimental fashion has a dark side, a preoccupation with representations of death, trauma, alienation and decay. This seminal publication offers an unexpected discussion of cutting-edge fashion in the 1990s, exploring what its disturbing themes tell us about consumer culture and contemporary anxieties. Caroline Evans analyses the work of innovative designers, the images of fashion photographers and the spectacular fashion shows that developed in the final decade of the twentieth century to arrive at a new understanding of fashion’s dark side and what it signifies.

Fashion at the Edge considers a range of ground- breaking fashion in unprecedented depth and detail, including the work of such designers as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Viktor & Rolf, and photographers such as Steven Meisel, Nick Knight and Juergen Teller.

Drawing on diverse perspectives from Marx to Walter Benjamin, Evans shows that fashion stands at the very centre of the contemporary, and that it voices some of Western culture’s deepest concerns.
The black leather jacketEver since a leather-jacketed Marlon Brando slouched across the screen in The Wild One, the jacket's mixture of animal magnetism, brooding menace, and sexual provocation has made it a must-have for hipsters, rebels, and fashionistas. This entertaining book chronicles the leather jacket from its roots among World War I flying aces to its present incarnation in high fashion. Along the way, it shows how every generation and subculture — including the Hell's Angels, beats, punks, movie stars, counterculturists, and fetishists — has made the leather jacket its own.
Pants : a history afootPants. Trousers. Knickers. Pajama. Pantaloon...What kind of pants will I wear today? Pants have transformed the history of fashion into something else than just fashion; it is definitely with pants that the real revolutions have happened.
