Description

Discover a chromatic celebration of more than 150 ensembles from the extraordinary fashion collection of Phoenix Art Museum.

Arranged across 13 vivid chapters organized by color, this book reveals how designers through time and across continents create wearable art that continues to inspire. In addition to striking photography, fashion curator Helen Jean helps situate the PhxArt collection in a broader cultural and historical context. Celebrated fashion historians and DRESSED podcast hosts April Calahan and Cassidy Zachary also offer editorial contributions that bring fresh perspectives and insights. From couture to ready-to-wear, shoes to accessories, Colorwear immerses you in the power of color as storytelling, mood, and creative expression.

Iconic garments, including Fortuny's Delphos gown and Warhol's 'Souper' Dress, mingle with other sartorial gems created by Chanel, Gaultier, Lagerfeld, Louboutin, and Schiaparelli, among others.
