New Book Gem! (Un)Fashion



(un)Fashion, an anthology of worldly apparel expressions was collected by acclaimed graphic designer Tibor Kalman before his death in 1999. His wife Maira Kalman (The Elements of Style, The Principles of Uncertainty, &c) continued the project after his death and dedicated the finished assembled book to him. Mostly photograph-filled, the book is bursting with a collection of incredible photographs by photojournalists all over, that really capture as Maira Kalman notes. "the indomitable human spirit." In (un)fashion you can see the stark and not so similarities and difference between our expressions. The back of the book has a section of captions for all the images presented. Check it out!
