Ever since Marlon Brando slouched across the screen wearing a black leather jacket in The Wild One, the mixture of animal magnetism and sexual aberration which the leather jacket manages to convey has ensured it a best-selling place in the catalogue of cool. Using more than a hundred evocative photographs, The Black Leather Jacket traces its popularity through the Hells Angels of the forties; the beats of the fifties; the counter-culture of the sixties; the sexual excesses of the seventies; the punk explosion, begun by the Sex Pistols, the Ramones and the Clash; the heavy metal and rock groups of the eighties; to the present day, where the black leather jacket is a potent part of 21st century consciousness.

Over 1000 full colour drawings - the result of wide-ranging research into paintings, photographs and the garments themselves - reproduce in meticulous detail the lines, weaves and patterns of the original garments. Arranged in twelve-year sections, the drawings are accompanied by a complete description of each garment and accessory. All details are noted, including fabrics, revers, cuffs, buttons and trimmings. The range of accessories includes headgear and footwear of all kinds - indoor and out - as well as cravats, ties, belts, gloves and canes. An indispensable reference section contains a comprehensive bibliography and a time chart showing at a glance the development of men's fashions over the past 200 years. Also included are biographies of the most influential couturiers in this field and short histories of tailors and outfitters who have made their mark.

One of a series celebrating the great names of international fashion, this volume remembers Emilio Pucci. He created clothes which were simple in cut but startling in pattern, inspired by op art and psychedelia. Pucci's style has lived on in the more recent collections produced by his daughter.
