The most colorful and complete book published on the most enduring
souvenir ever invented: the Hawaiian shirt. Beautifully illustrated
with hundreds of images, this book recounts the colorful stories
behind these marvelous shirts: as cultural icons, evocative of the
mystery and the allure of the islands, capturing the vibe of the
watermen culture and lifestyle -- casual, relaxed, and fun. Valued
by professional collectors and by millions of vacationers and
fashionistos, these shirts are enjoying a fashion revival. Drawing
from hundreds of interviews, newspaper and magazine archives, and
personal memorabilia, the author evokes the world of the designers,
seamstresses, manufacturers, and retailers who created the industry
and nurtured it from its single-sewing-machine-shop beginnings to
an enterprise of international scope and importance and its revival
today. The Aloha Shirt is both a dazzling, fun-to-browse art book,
and a fascinating chronicle of the world's love affair with Hawaii.
