“Even the book’s cover sparkles with gold, a brilliant visual cue — at least for those of us of a certain age — of what’s in store: A traipse through that time in our lives when the sparkly flash of pop-cultural figures served as guides to millions of youngsters desperate to connect to a dim constellation we knew to be out there but couldn’t see alone.”<\/em> — East Hampton Star <\/strong><\/p>\n

“A collection of fabled 20th-century musicians’ style from Diana Ross & The Supremes’ sequins to The Ramones’ leather jackets.” —<\/em>\tWall Street Journal<\/strong><\/p>\n

What The Band Wore<\/em><\/strong> by Alice Harris is an unprecedented collection of photographs that illustrates four decades of pop, rock, soul, disco, funk, punk, reggae, heavy metal, and hip hop fashion. Sparkling sequins, safety pins, and even suits from outer space are spotlighted in more than 80 images by acclaimed music photographers, including Terry O’Neill, Henry Diltz, Matthew Rolston, Bob Gruen, and Lynn Goldsmith.<\/p>\n

Featuring exclusive comments from legendary artists, What The Band Wore <\/em><\/strong>traces the evolution of stage wear from the 1960s through the 1990s, from the self-made counterculture style of Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, and Sly & The Family Stone to the custom designs that Bob Mackie, Bill Whitten, Larry LeGaspi, Vivienne Westwood, and Issey Miyake created for the most renowned names in music. Whether it’s Elvis Presley or Janet Jackson posing in tight leather, Freddie Mercury masquerading as a harlequin, or Run-DMC sporting their iconic footwear, these pages thread together a fabulous celebration of fashion and music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
