About the Item
Bags : A Lexicon of Style Valerie Steele, Laird Borrelli Hardcover Book 1st Edition 1999.
Large format coffee table book. Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 11" x 9.5". 192 pages, well illustrated, mainly in colour. Sheds new light on the contemporary obsession with bags.
Clutch, tote, wear or carry it, the bag is the most portable and flauntable of accessories. This book studies the modern meaning of bags, examining each of the key bag types and explaining their evolution, cultural connotations and visual language.'
Whether it’s the tiny hand-held jewel that holds only a lipstick or the trendy Prada backpack, handbags are our most essential accessory. The ultimate status symbol, bags also speak volumes about our approach to style. This gorgeous book presents the best of contemporary design from the world’s leading firms. Ranging from the status bags of Gucci and Hermès to the exquisite beaded purses of Jamin Puech and Nathalie Hambro, and laden with color photos and sketches, Bags: A Lexicon of Style is a must for fashion lovers and those with a sense of bags as art. Valerie Steele is Chief Curator of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Among her books are The Corset: A Cultural History, Paris Fashion, Fetish, and Fifty Years of Fashion. Laird Borrelli, a fashion historian, also works at The Museum at F.I.T.
