Publisher's Synopsis
Fashion Industry Broadcast's Masters of Fashion Series is one of the most extensive and prestigious publishing initiatives ever released this subject. In this the first of our Series of 4 we provide an exhaustive visual history of American fashion over the last 50 years. We visit and profile the lives and legends of the biggest brand names, designers and houses in American fashion. American style cannot be defined by a choice between a white or blue collar. American fashion styles are as diverse as the number of nationalities that make up the USA's ethnic backbone. America may have given the world the iconic blue jeans and the t-shirt but it has done far far more to make a lasting and important imprint on world fashion. In this illustrated visual history of American fashion we feature the lives and fashion legends of: The Great Gatsby: Ralph Lauren The King of Cool: Tom Ford The Sex Machine: Calvin Klein The Tastemaker: Marc Jacobs The Queen of NYC: Donna Karan Alexander the Great: Alexander Wang Girls Just Want To Have Fun: Betsey Johnson La Cage au Folles: Bob Mackie Designed for Angels: Victoria's Secret Sex Drugs Fame & Fabric: Halston Fashionably Royal: Diane Von Furstenberg The Scandalist: Rudi Gernreich The Fountain of Youth: Abercrombie & Fitch Fashion Industry Broadcast's "Masters of Fashion" is a four part series: Masters of Fashion Vol 1 Americans Masters of Fashion Vol 2 Italians Masters of Fashion Vol 3 Paris Masters of Fashion Vol 4 Iconoclasts Fashion Industry Broadcast supports a number of important charities that provide funding for critical medical research, medicines, animal and human rights.A percentage of every book, e-book and App sold goes towards supporting these vital causes.
