The Devil's Cloth: A History of Stripes and Striped Fabric - European Perspectives: A Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism
Michel Pastoureau
What do prostitutes, referees, and Renaissance clowns have in common? They all wear stripes, and The Devil's Cloth tells us why. Pastoureau's lively study of stripes offers a unique perspective on the evolution of fashion, taste, and visual codes in Western culture.
