Reviews
Andrew Bolton's BRAVEHEARTS: MEN IN SKIRTS is an over sized fashion book filled with color and black & white pictures of men in everything from skirts to sarongs.It provides some detail about the history of men wearing skirts from different cultures and throughout time. It covers all forms of skirts from kilts to sarongs to kimonos to straight skirts and robes. And it shows many designers who have been pushing the envelope like Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Cavalli, Thierry Mugler etc.No only are some of the pictures from the past, like the 60s and 70s, but many are from the 90s and 2000s, so they are pretty current.The looks are very cool and surprisingly some are very masculine. Not easy to pull off when the skirt qualifies as a "mini" if it were on a woman. I recommend the book to all those interested in fashion and for those who go against the grain.
