About this product
Product Information
Flip on the entertainment news, open an issue of a popular magazine, or step into any department store?and you?ll appreciate the impact of the multibillion-dollar fashion industry on American culture. Yet its origins in the nineteenth-century ?rag trade? of Jewish tailors, cutters, pressers, peddlers, and shopkeepers have been underexplored. In this copiously illustrated volume, scholars from varied backgrounds consider the role of American Jews in creating, developing, and furthering the national garment industry from the Civil War forward. Drawn from an award-winning exhibition of the same title at the Yeshiva University Museum, A Perfect Fit provides a fascinating view of American society, culture, and industrialization. Essays address themes such as the development of the menswear industry; the early film industry and its relationship to American fashion; the relationship of the American industry to Britain and France; the acculturation of Jewish immigrants and its impact on American garment making; advertising history and popular culture; and regional centers of manufacturing. This multivalent group of essays compellingly weaves together important threads of the complex history of the American garment industry.

"[A] fine contribution to both fashion and American Jewish history . . . significantly enhanced by the number and variety of the 152 color illustrations." -- Publishers Weekly, Coffee table books are generally handsome but not often scholarly. This beautiful and erudite book is an exception....[A] well researched study of the Jewish role in the garment industry illustrated by exquisite photographs of designer dresses, accessories, fashion magazine advertisements, and of the fashion celebrities themselves...It is impossible to do full justice in a brief review to the breadth and depth of this beautiful, scholarly study of Jewish involvement in the multi-billion dollar world of fashion. --Jewish Book Council, "[A] fine contribution to both fashion and American Jewish history . . . significantly enhanced by the number and variety of the 152 color illustrations." - Publishers Weekly, [A] fine contribution to both fashion and American Jewish history . . . significantly enhanced by the number and variety of the 152 color illustrations. --Publishers Weekly

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
