Rebel Style: Cinematic Heros of the 1950s Hardcover – September 1, 2005

Boyer's fine essay combines with a great batch of photos to bring back an often unappreciated time in American style and fashion. Yes, it's short--Assouline needs to think bigger!--but it's a lovely trip back in time for anyone with a sartorial bent.

This book has some great picture of some very iconic Rebels. Many of the pictures though show how dated this book is. An update is seriously needed as most of the "newer" photos picture young men who are now grandfathers. This would have been cool circa 1989 - 92. The text and photos also have a retro gay vibe and would be considered kitsch now by many of my gay friends. Good thing it was cheap as I will remove the truly iconic pictures for framing and toss the rest out.

Too short and full of images I could find on Google Search.Nice quality book, however.
