Fashions from elephant bells to tube tops, Joe Poltorak takes readers on a visually unforgettable cross-country tour of fashions that faded, and colors that will never dull. Enjoy the visual punch of printed polyester shirts, the sock of psychedelic paisleys, and a parade of pop T-shirt icons. An invaluable reference for collectors, the author presents brand new clothes, salvaged from dusty warehouses and storerooms. Nearly 450 photos show these treasures in all their glory, as well as being modeled in modern-day context.
