Description
The Trench Coat: A Study in Seduction and Disturbance Trench Coat is an Object Lessons book that explores the hidden lives of ordinary things. The trench coat, a staple of military outerwear, has become a sartorial archetype, projecting the inner-being of various groups, including detectives, writers, and intellectuals. From its origins in World War I, the trench coat has been imbued with imaginative leaps into the unknown, seductive entanglements with technology, time, law, politics, trust, and trespass. This book delves into the rise of this sartorial archetype through media, design, literature, cinema, and fashion. Today, as a staple in stories of future life-worlds, the trench coat warns of disturbances to come. Published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic, Trench Coat offers a unique perspective on the intersection of technology, culture, and society.
