The T-shirt, for example, may now be an innocuous, everyday item, but was created by American company Hanes for US Navy personnel at the turn of the 20th century and was subsequently adopted by sportsmen and bikers. Other items have been designed for sport, farm work or protection, and made their way into everyday usage.\u003ci\u003e Icons of Style\u003c\/i\u003e examines, garment by garment, the most important and famous of these products - their provenance and history, the stories of their design, the brand\/company that started it all and how the item shaped the way we all dress today. As traditional definitions of men's and women's clothes are fast changing, this book combines all key garments for everyone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Inspiring images of the best examples of the garment - from the 1930s to contemporary times, from Marlene Dietrich to Mick Jagger - show the timeless beauty of these garments that are the basics of the stylish.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJosh Sims is a freelance style writer, contributing to the likes of \u003ci\u003eThe Financial Times, The Independent, The Independent\u003c\/i\u003e on Sunday, \u003ci\u003eMail\u003c\/i\u003e on Sunday, Channel 4, the BBC, \u003ci\u003e Esquire, GQ, Wallpaper*\u003c\/i\u003e and i-D.
