Inside Out takes underwear out from under, exposing what lurks beneath the surface. Everything is revealed, from embarrassing but necessary items normally hidden from public view to the very British titillation of the Ann Summers party; from the physical and psychological 'uplift' of the Wonderbra to the glamour of the Agent Provocateur. A celebration of fashion, technology and culture as refracted through Great Britain's underwear industry, Inside Out paints a bold, inventive portrait of the constant tension between inspiration and constraint, fantasy and reality. Angela Carter, Judith Clark, Karen Kay, India Knight, James Pretove, Mary Quant and Serena Rees offer informed and seductively entertaining texts on a topic that touches us all - intimately! Dimension: 91/2 x 8 inches, 110 b&w and color reproductions.
