BEIN Bailey 1126: Dust jacket. From the library of Laura Bailey.

"This lively, ground-breaking book celebrates the designers who have established the skirt as a form of male attire. From Jean Paul Gaultier, Dries Van Noten and Yohji Yamamoto to Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger and Yves Saint Laurent, these designers have set out to prove that the skirt can be a stylish and practical alternative to trousers." "The photographs and illustrations reveal a fascinating array of outfits put together in a way that enhances the masculinity of the wearer. Alongside these fashion images are portraits of men who have led the way in legitimizing the 'skirt for men' including pop icons David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Robbie Williams, film stars Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson and the sports celebrity David Beckham." "This trendsetting book, which accompanies a highly successful exhibition at the V&A and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, comes at a time when men are casting off their suits and turning to more exciting forms of dress. It will be an inspiration to all forward-thinking males."--BOOK JACKET.
