From my early recollections as a merchant tailor I had experience of the same kind but could find no work published that met this demand.I decided to compile a work that should cover the scientific production of unusual garments worn by men and in 1898 decided to publish such a work at a later date." - from the "Author's Preface".</p> Minneapolis: Welander's Cutting School and Tailor Institute, circa [1900]. paperback

The CK advertising campaign "had a seismic effect on America's social and cultural scene. Weber's photographs are part of the phenomenon they document. His advertising campaigns have come to stand for the acceptance of this imagery by the cultural mainstream. For those who can recall a time before it became acceptable for men to regard their underwear as fashion statements Weber's images must count among the most revolutionary tools yet devised in the history of consumer manipulation" The New York Times Magazine. Sexy photographs of the world's supermodels such as Christie Turlington and Marcus Schenkenberg beauties who are now iconic figures of fashion. Showcases another look perfected by the photographer and much copied by others: Racier and sexier in a cosmopolitan "metrosexual" way long before the latter term gained mass currency in contrast to the trademark "All-American" look that is identified with the Bruce Weber of "Bear Pond".
