An extraordinary research on shirts from private collections, put together with meticulous care, taste, and passion by two twins, who are also both designers. This volume introduces us to a variety of shirts from different continents - from west to east - creating a multiethnic current, which has influenced contemporary design. How can one not be fascinated by the history that this category of clothing preserves in its memory - by the candor that Swiss pastoral shirts emanate, by embroidery from Mexico, by the marvelous patterns that decorate southwestern shirts, by the cultured forms of domestic Japanese clothing, by the warm fabrics of western lingerie? Hence, a splendid collection with a punctilious description of details and places of origin - a precious volume that will make us become thoroughly familiar with one of our closest companions... the shirt.
