This updated edition, expanded to include 15 new labels, highlights some 500 garments in the permanent collection of The Museum at FIT in New York City. Features texts by the Museum’s director and chief curator Valerie Steele, international style authority Suzy Menkes, and portraits by Robert Nippoldt.
