Avant: An Anthology of Western Wear

Ed. Eric Maggiori

Avant, Los Angeles, 2023. Like New.

From the publisher

"In this issue, AVANT goes to meet the first cowboys who populated the American West. We also tell how the great painters and Hollywood have greatly contributed to mythologize the image of the cowboy."

A shockingly luxurious magazine focused on the American West (however you interpret that) and the cowboy, particularly through the lens of westernwear. Archival collection photos evoke the great Japanese fashion magazines, while deep dives into specific items like the nudie suit or western shirt will make sure you don't look like a poser even if you just moved to New Mexico from New York.
