From Gaultier to smocks, sou'westers to blazers this work explores just how pervasive nautical themes and tropes have been in the world of fashion. The author examines a number of broad key styles (Officer, Sailor, Fisherman, Sportsman and Pirate) and the themes they've inspired. Copiously and beautifully illustrated from historic and contemporary sources throughout it's one of those superior forms of coffee table books that's both an interesting read and a delight to the eyes!
