Facades

Penguin Books, New York, 1978. First edition. Paper covers in good condition. Some minor bumping to corners and spine ends. Contents tight and clean with no inscriptions. 128pp.
Antique clothes from New York's thrift shops, worn by Editta Sherman, the Duchess of Carnegie Hall and modelled in front of a variety of Manhattan's intersting buildings. An exuberant change from the usual deadpan approach to the history of fashion and architecture.
