"A new title in the Skira fashion-guide series for modern men. Uman: The Essays is a series of commentaries by contemporary connoisseurs, who explore the sources of men's costume to reveal the traditions and ethos at the basis of the ideal wardrobe. The authors are all well-known journalists and writers, and their entertaining essays tell us about ancient traditions, the history of fashion, unheard sartorial expressions, and VIPs' habits and private passions"--Publisher's web site.
Notes: "Uman is Umberto Angeloni's project about the style and elegance of the Modern Man"--Page 2 of jacket.

Umberto Angeloni is formerly the chief executive of Brioni, an Italian luxury lifestyle brand with global diffusion.
