This classic text explains and applies the basic elements of design and aesthetics for a variety of apparel professionals. Using her own theory of the Apparel-Body-Construct—the look or appearance of the body, clothing, and accessories as a unit—the author defines aesthetics in the context of understanding how we perceive dress and our reactions to it.
