I'm so geeking out on this book I just read an article about in the New Zealand Fashion Quarter. It's a book written by author Jane Pavitt about how the Cold War period influenced fashion, ranging from innovations in materials to the cybernetic visions of the 1960s, from the bikini to the spacesuit, vinyl radiation suits to high-tech jewelry. It also explores how the image of the body was shaped by Cold War concerns, the space race, technological developments and the first forays into hyper-reality. Ashley and I will be ordering this book right away!
