by traduit du manuscrit tch que par Gilberte Rodrigue (1980)
Neuf cent quatre-vingt-quinze documents iconographiques en noir et blanc et 32 planches en couleurs, tous accompagnés d'une légende explicative, illustrent les pages de cette somptueuse encyclopédie. Le texte et l'illustration de la première section passent en revue, par tranche de l'histoire universelle, 4000 ans d'histoire du costume et de la mode. La deuxième section se présente comme un répertoire des divers vêtements et accessoires. Chacun de ses 21 articles porte sur un élément de l'ornementation vestimentaire : coiffures, barbes, chapeaux, cols, manches, jupes, etc. Il comporte un lexique alphabétique des variétés de cet ornement. Par exemple, à l'article chapeaux, on définit les termes baigneuse, balzo, batwat, béret, bicorne, bonnet, etc. Cette section est aussi illustrée que la première.

A fabulous tribute to the one piece of clothing worn by people of every age, gender, and shape, the white T captures the zeitgeist of our times. With striking photographs and sophisticated text, the white T traces the colorful history of the classic garment worn by billions all over the world. From the first Hanes version sold in the 1930s for twenty-four cents to its transformation into the ultimate in cool (not to mention sexy) when worn by James Dean, Elvis Presley, and Marlon Brando, the white T has become part of our culture. The significance of the white T goes beyond fashion, to encompass the political, sexual, and social trends of the past decades. Whether tie dyed, stamped with a slogan or icon, torn, slashed, or designed, these shirts make a statement, and everyone from presidents to rock stars, bikers to bankers, babies to baby boomers, has at least one white T. Celebrating this universally worn piece of clothing, the white T is a chronicle of cultural history, and like its quirky and expressive subject, in itself a work of art.
