This listing is for a copy of An Anthology of French Workwear
In this issue, An Anthology of French Workwear, AVANT digs into the history of France with particular focus on the workers, the farmers and the peasants during the 19th and the 20th centuries.
We converse with Tom Gruat, the king of French workwear, with Denis Bruna, curator in chief of the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris, and Frederic Marc Marion, vintage dealer and collector of French workwear. We also talk with six experts of French Workwear in Japan, so they can explain to us how it’s booming right now in Japan.
We visit Euro Costumes, a costume rental company in Pantin, near Paris, and we talk to its owner, Pascale Bourtequoi, who explain how she build a colossal stock of antique clothes.
We also teach you how to recognize buttons on a French hunting jacket, and explain what moleskin really is.
