Immerse yourself in the compelling narrative of 'Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body', published by Princeton University Press. This insightful text, with ISBN 9780691208190, delves into the fascinating intersection of design, race, and gender during the postwar period in America. Discover how mid-century Modernism, an iconic aesthetic movement, was not merely a stylistic choice but a profound societal statement laden with implications about identity and privilege.

In this groundbreaking exploration, author Kristina Wilson analyzes the marketing strategies and presentation of Modernist decor, emphasizing the notions of race and gender that shaped consumer perceptions. Spanning various mediums including advertisements from major publications like Life and Ebony, furniture by renowned designers such as George Nelson, and everyday objects, this book reveals how mid-century design influenced ideas of security, comfort, and social status.

Furthermore, Wilson illuminates how the domestic roles prescribed to women were fortified by the narratives surrounding Modernist furnishings.

'Kings of style exhibits in the context of race and gender may yield a narrative that challenges our understanding of aesthetics in design.' This rich, scholarly work invites readers to revisit the complexities of Modernism beyond mere visual appeal and confronts the socio-political implications of design choices. Perfect for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of design history, 'Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body' stands as an essential addition to any library. Explore the unvarnished truths behind the era's celebrated designs and their enduring legacy.

cute but not the material I expected
Size: Small, Color: Pure Black
This was really cute, well made and fit as expected. Unfortunately, I have sensitive skin and I found the material to be scratchy so I sent it back.

Nice quality sweater, well made and soft.
Size: Large, Color: Pure Beige
I love this sweater - but I bought it just in time for summer, so it won't get much use until fall! It fits great, it is really soft and the overall quality is quite good. I plan to buy another one in another color as well.

Nice casual looking sweater
Size: Small, Color: Pure Black
I purchased the black/cream inset sweater in a small. I usually wear a small. I fits loose, but NOT baggy. I like the loose fit. The sweater feels so soft. Nice looking sweater. Very happy with the sweater, but could have ordered a medium for a boxier fit.

Good quality & trendy color sweater
Size: Large, Color: Pure Apricot
This sweater is very soft, light and very suitable for keeping mild warm at the temperature of 20c or inside an air conditioning room. Particularly, the trendy color for 2026 in brown suede jacket, this sweater is real good matching item! I like it! 😍😍😍
