As vintage couture clothing becomes more and more collectible, the
next step is no surprise: collectible sweatshirts. Specifically, the
incredibly beautiful, heavy-duty high-school sweats from Best
Company in the 1980s, designed by Italian designer Olmes Carretti.
Decorated with motifs derived from nature and sports, based on
precise natural studies and drawings, these high-quality sweatshirts are
deeply appreciated for their design artistry. Graphic design wizards
VIER5 visited Carretti at his home in Reggio Emilia and created this
absorbing book, including dazzling photos documenting individual
shirts, explanatory texts and interviews with the designer. Best
Company closed almost 20 years ago, and it has since achieved cult
status: this book shows why.
Including an Interview with Olmes Carretti by Vier5
Texts by Alec Lobrano, Manuela Cassara,and Franca Miele
Limited edition of 500 copies.
