In this enthralling and always surprising account, Hannah Carlson turns the pocket inside out and out tumble pocket watches, coins, pistols, and a riveting centuries-long social and political history.\" -Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePockets \"showcases the best features of cultural history: a lively combination of visual, literary and documentary evidence. As sumptuously illustrated as it is learned ... this highly inventive and original book demands a pocket sequel.\" -Jane Kamensky, Wall Street Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho gets pockets, and why?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a subject that stirs up plenty of passion: Why do men's clothes have so many pockets and women's so few? And why are the pockets on women's clothes often too small to fit phones, if they even open at all? In her captivating book, Hannah Carlson, a lecturer in dress history at the Rhode Island School of Design, reveals the issues of gender politics, security, sexuality, power, and privilege tucked inside our pockets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the medieval era in Europe, the purse was an almost universal dress feature. But when tailors stitched the first pockets into men's trousers five hundred years ago, it ignited controversy and introduced a range of social issues that we continue to wrestle with today, from concealed pistols to gender inequality. See: #GiveMePocketsOrGiveMeDeath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilled with incredible images, this microhistory of the humble pocket uncovers what pockets tell us about ourselves: How is it that putting your hands in your pockets can be seen as a sign of laziness, arrogance, confidence, or perversion? Walt Whitman's author photograph, hand in pocket, for Leaves of Grass seemed like an affront to middle-class respectability. When W.E.B. Du Bois posed for a portrait, his pocketed hands signaled defiant coolness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd what else might be hiding in the history of our pockets? (There's a reason that the contents of Abraham Lincoln's pockets are the most popular exhibit at the Library of Congress.) Thinking about the future, Carlson asks whether we will still want pockets when our clothes contain \"smart\" textiles that incorporate our IDs and credit cards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePockets is for the legions of people obsessed with pockets and their absence, and for anyone interested in how our clothes influence the way we navigate the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643751542\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9.0551 Inches, Length: 6.92912 Inches, Weight: 2.0282528104 Pounds, Width: 1.02362 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hannah Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51851412504883,"sku":"9781643751542","price":34.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/6419753482773.jpg?v=1753954974"},{"product_id":"karl-lagerfeld","title":"Karl Lagerfeld","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Bolton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Lagerfeld\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 436\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2023-05-30\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e A compelling look at the aesthetic and historical significance of Lagerfeld's work-from his elegantly tailored pieces for Chanel to the witty, playful ensembles that came to define the Lagerfeld brand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Met's latest tome expertly narrates the journey that earned Lagerfeld his seat at the hallowed throne of modern high fashion.\"-V Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnparalleled in its luxurious presentation, this publication celebrates the virtuoso artistry of Karl Lagerfeld (1933-2019). Designed to evoke an elegant parchment-and-cloth artist's portfolio, it boasts a pageant of stunning fashion photography alongside Lagerfeld's original sketches, offering a behind-the-scenes window into his process as well as his sartorial brilliance. Silver inks and select gold pages punctuate the book's stylish packaging and recall the designer's signature accessories. An illustrated timeline, unfurling from the back of the volume, chronicles the designer's long and illustrious career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLagerfeld produced over 10,000 pieces of clothing across his extraordinary 65 years as a powerhouse fashion designer, from his time at Chlo'e and Fendi in the 1960s and 1970s to his celebrated leadership in the 1980s and beyond at Chanel and with his own label. His voracious curiosity and boundless imagination yielded beautiful, evocative garments, more than 200 of which are showcased here. These are accompanied by personal reflections from Lagerfeld's premi`eres d'ateliers-the seamstresses behind his extraordinary creations-as well as by Anna Wintour, Patrick Hourcade, Amanda Harlech, and Tadao Ando.
