Summary:

This book documents the revolutionary work of African American fashion designer Stephen Burrows--celebrating some of the most innovative and vibrant years in American Fashion. In the late 1960s, New York was the epicenter of creative vitality and artistic expression, when Clothing became a masquerade, Central Park's Bethesda Fountain a costume party, weekends a perpetual Halloween. This was the New York City that Stephen Burrows embraced as his own, and it would inspire him to create clothes that would help revolutionize American Fashion and further solidify its credibility abroad. This book documents Burrows' creative output during the formative and at once incendiary years of 1968 to 1983. It also offers a unique perspective into the work of an artist at the height of his creative powers.
