More about the book
From Adidas sneakers to City pinstripes and share-dealers’ shirts, from barcodes to soccer shirts, stripes signify membership and allegiance. But also the opposite: in nature, stripes communicate danger. Stripes can be bright, childlike, and bold, but also sober, conservative, and exclusive. In art, stripes simulate the eye in the work of artists such as Mark Rothko. In fashion, they can be formal or strident – witness brands as diverse as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Mary Quant, Gucci, and Paul Smith. All this and more is covered in this indispensable book.
