内容简介

From Library Journal

Determined and ambitious best describes the extraordinary career of the 20th-century sportswear fashion pioneer Claire McCardell, whose comfort-first philosophy, mix-and-match ensembles, and casual ready-to-wear clothing left a lasting legacy. Authors Yohannan (Parsons Sch. of Design) and Nolf (Hood Coll.) have compiled a delightful and highly informative book that chronicles McCardell's life and outlines her struggling career, from her "discovery" in 1940 through her triumphs in the years to come. Over 100 photographs, including 39 in color, best demonstrate why McCardell's fashion ideas were accessible, sometimes revolutionary, and loved by women of the 1940s and 1950s. Highly recommended, especially for collections focusing on fashion and textile design.?Stephen Allan Patrick, East Tennessee State Univ. Lib., Johnson City
