Summary: In this completely unique and innovative book, Kristin Knox (author of MCQUEEN: Genius of a Generation) traces the roots of today’s ready-to-wear fashion designers to “traditional costume” clothing styles from more than 60 cultures around the world and explores how local or “street” fashions are coming back once again and influencing catwalks in fashion capitals from New York to Paris. CULTURE TO CATWALK is the first book to explore the cyclical and global nature of fashion’s roots and future on the runway and includes interviews and quotes from leading designers such as Amanda Wakeley and Donna Karan and representatives from bestselling brands such as Aquascutum and Jaeger.
