Description: Fashions from elephant bells to tube tops, this book is a visually unforgettable, cross-country tour of styles that faded, and colors that will never dull. Printed polyester shirts, the sock of psychedelic paisleys, and a parade of pop T-shirt icons in 450 photos create a reference for collectors. The book includes a foreword by nationally syndicated style writer Patricia McLaughlin.
