Reviews

Interviewed WURD 900 AM


It is pleasing to find a new title on jazz as a cultural archive that does put the emphasis on an entirely unusual topic, namely the function, origin and development of a unique way of dressing and - if you want to - fashionable customization. -- Dr. A. Ebert Jive-Talk.com This work is particularly recommended for students and lovers of fashion, as well as lovers of Jazz. -- Daniele Camerlengo Suono Magazine, [Bloomsbury Translation]
