One of the great books of the 70s. This book reflects the freshness, vitality and spontaneity of the newest and most stimulating of American folk arts: decorated denims. Not since the Renaissance has there been such a proliferation of highly personalised, elaborately patterned, intricately stitched, colourfully embroidered and appliqued clothing as young people are wearing today. It's fun, full of imagery and iconicly designed from the significant era of bookmaking. genre, style and culture-defining. It also features an essay by Beagle as well as short writings by the people who sent in pictures of their works.
