Ethnic Style
B. Geoffroy-Schneiter

This book traces the styles of dress in Asia, Africa and the Americas. Archive photographs and contemporary documents reveal how body-marking, headdresses, jewelry and clothing symbolize beliefs, prestige, belonging within the community, superstitions, as well as being instruments of seduction.In many cultures, jewelry and clothing play a range of complex roles and the language of personal adornments has only recently been deciphered—signs of fecundity or prosperity, talismans with curative powers or simple ethnic marks.The nomad, the odalisque, the geisha—they have influenced modern fashion and inspired great designers such as John Galliano, Azzedine Alaďa, Yves Saint Laurent and Jean-Paul Gaultier. With lush photographs from all over the world, Ethnic Style: History and Fashion is a fascinating exploration.
