Overview

"Examples include an unprecedented array of designs by Azzedine Alaia, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce and Gabbana, John Galliano for Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, Thierry Mugler, and Yohji Yamamoto. The book also features fantastical feathered costumes of Las Vegas showgirls and coquettish ""birds of paradise"" creations by milliners Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy. Lavishly illustrated and entertainingly written, Wild reveals how faunal apparel, whether in the form of pelts, plumes, prints, or animal symbolism, has represented and will continue to represent one of man's more primal instincts. This book accompanies an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (November 9, 2004, to February 13, 2005)."
