Anglomania by Andrew Bolton 1st edition 2006

Published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art first edition 2006 New York. Printed only once, this was specially made for the namesake popular exhibition held at the Met in 2006.

This gorgeous volume is abundantly illustrated with high-quality colour reproduced photographs, complemented by the witty and illuminating text of Andrew Bolton and Ian Buruma, you are in for a treat.

Anglomania juxtaposes historical British costumes with contemporary British designs, staging these fabulous ensembles in a series of theatrical vignettes in selected English Period Rooms. Organised in the theme of old-fashioned English high society activities, this volume is brimming with Spitalfields silk, Philip Treacy hats, and irreverent Vivienne Westwood with a sprinkle of Hogarthian intensity. An amazing treat indeed for fashion aficionados.
