Summary
"This is the first publication to consider art to wear, also known as wearable art, as a discrete American movement with roots and intersections in fine arts, fiber arts, craft, performance, and fashion. It looks in depth at the generation of artists who came of age in the late 1960s and 1970s and trained primarily as painters and sculptors but broke well-established boundaries in their use of nontraditional forms, materials, and techniques to create one-of-a-kind works using the body as an armature. --
