Better than "The Naked Ape" Better than "The Naked Ape" !!! But You should get that Book as Well, if You like, or perhaps Lovethe History of personal adornments.. James Jr K. Franklin said The Unfashionable Human Body. This book is a monumental and very entertaining study of human fashion fetish. Bernard Rudofsky is the most important writer I have ever read on subjects like this and architecture and cultural habits we take for granted. Prodigious Builders is another of his titles worth having in one's memeory. He activated the interest in Vernacular Architecture.. Unique look at fashion history Anyone interested in the history of dress should read this wonderfully entertaining book. Full of delightful trivia and insights into why people wear what they do, it has the unusual perspective that we're trying to hide body parts that are out of fashion, rather than showcase parts that are in fashion.
