Whether woven, crocheted, bejewelled, feathered, dyed or painted, wearable art is meant to be animated by the human body. This work presents the work of 60 artists who have combined craft and art with the glamour of haute couture. 170 garments - each the product of intensive labour - are featured. The author established the first gallery devoted to clothing as an art form in 1973. The gallery is located in New York City. --Amazon Contents: Introduction -- Crochet -- Knitting -- Weaving -- Dina Knapp -- Jean Williams Cacicedo -- Janet Lipkin -- Marika Contompasis -- Sharron Hedges -- Arlene Stimmel -- Nicki Hitz Edson -- Susanna Lewis -- Dione Christensen -- Linda Mendelson -- Amy Rothberg-Rogers -- Jacquelyn Roesch-Sanchez -- Norma Minkowitz -- Lannie Hart -- Randall Darwall -- Arlene Kirstein -- Danielle Ray -- Geraldine Millham -- Featherwork -- Leatherwork -- Raoul Spiegel -- Paul Johnson -- Joan Ann Jablow -- Eliot Smith -- Bill Cunningham -- Renee DeMartin -- Anne Kingsbury -- J.
