Sinopse

Join Cameron Silver, founder of LA’s famous—and highly influential—vintage boutique Decades, leads a romp through the history and countless manifestations of the caftan, the world’s most universal garment.Gloriously illustrated with photographs, drawings, and paintings, Caftans is alternately glamorous, campy, and comfy, just like the versatile garment it celebrates.Caftans are never out of style, and this gorgeous book by vintage guru Cameron Silver shows why: Arguably the world’s oldest known garment, the caftan appears in every culture, from the chitons depicted on urns and murals in ancient Greece and Rome to diaphanous versions wafting down today’s red carpets, from the flowing garb immortalized in pre-Raphaelite paintings to the striped stunner worn by Isaac Hayes on the cover of his Black Moses album.
