Description

Do you know why a chef's hat has 100 pleats? Or how many ways there are to tie a tie?

Packed full of whacky facts and stunning clothes from designers and cultures around the world, as well as glorious illustrations featuring objects from the V&A, this book is a must-have for anyone who has ever wondered why we wear the clothes we do.

Published in association with the V&A Museum, your purchase helps the V&A to enrich people's lives as the world's leading museum of art and design.



A funny, informative and sometimes rather silly exploration of the wheres, whys and hows of the clothes we wear

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
