“Join Cameron Silver, founder of LA\u2019s famous and highly influential vintage boutique Decades, leads a romp through the history and countless manifestations of the caftan, the world\u2019s most universal garment. Gloriously illustrated with photographs, drawings, and paintings, Caftans is alternately glamorous, campy, and comfy, just like the versatile garment it celebrates. Caftans are never out of style, and this gorgeous book by vintage guru Cameron Silver shows why: Arguably the world\u2019s oldest known garment, the caftan appears in every culture, from the chitons depicted on urns and murals in ancient Greece and Rome to diaphanous versions wafting down today\u2019s red carpets, from the flowing garb immortalized in pre-Raphaelite paintings to the striped stunner worn by Isaac Hayes on the cover of his Black Moses album. Caftans range from loungewear to haute couture, and Silver guides us expertly through all manifestations, from ancient times on: \u201cEndless Summer\u201d explores resort caftans; \u201cCaftan Couture\u201d displays haute couture caftans by the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Tory Burch; \u201cOn and Off the Silver Screen\u201d addresses caftans worn in films and on the red carpet, as well as at home think Elizabeth Taylor, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Cher, Angelina Jolie, and Rihanna; \u201cMantans\u201d reveals men\u2019s growing penchant for wearing caftans; and \u201cCaftan Capital\u201d focuses on the iconic caftans of Morocco.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
