The Incomplete: Highsnobiety Guide to Street Fashion and Culture

Description

Lifestyle publication Highsnobiety has covered the intersection between high-end fashion and street-smart casual style for over 12 years. In The Incomplete, it highlights the pieces and brands that have stood the test of time and which aren't just foolproof, they're trend-proof. The new men's classics couldn't be further removed from the oft-touted tailored silhouettes commonplace in other menswear tomes--this book seeks to define a more modern wardrobe canon. Part visual reference guide, part snapshot of street culture, this compendium includes quotes from some of the era's most influential designers and brands speaking more specifically about the continued relevance of certain garments.
