Black : the history of black in fashion, society and culture in New Zealand

Shared by Auckland War Memorial Museum

Black is a gorgeously illustrated celebration and exploration of New Zealand's obsession with clothing ourselves in black - in society, power and politics, cultural icons, sport, fashion, film and music, from the Little Black Dress to the All Black jersey, Dunedin goths, the business people of Lambton Quay and the patched jackets of gang members. Ten essays compiled by Doris de Pont, published to coincide with the touring exhibition Black in Fashion, by the New Zealand Fashion Museum. Black in Fashion, by the New Zealand Fashion Museum. Includes bibliographical references (p. 221-230) and index.
