Curated from the Getty Images’ vast collections of editorial imagery, ‘Wear’ examines 21st century culture through the artifacts used to augment human bodies. Dividing all wearable objects into 3 concise categories: Protection, Enhancement, and Adornment, it investigates humanity’s unique drive to alter its form—whether for survival, improved function, or personal expression. Unlike other animals bound by the slow process of evolution, humans design wearable for immediate competitive advantage. By exploring these artifacts, the book reveals the profound ways humans blend utility and creativity to redefine their animal potential.
