The History of a Punk, Pretty, Powerful Color
'In Pink, Valerie Steele brews a mesmerizing potion of historic and cultural intrigue emitting from the world's most polarizing colour. I am always captivated by Dr. Steele's work, but Pink is especially hypnotic. Like me, you won't be able to put it down!' - Tim Gunn, Mentor, Project Runway 'Confirmation, that being in the pink - from flamingo to fuchsia - is cool once more' - RED 'With essays and a string of dazzling, sugary imagery all in one place, [Pink] is a feast for the eyes as well as the mind' - Refinery 29 'A gorgeously illustrated cultural history' - The Lady 'decodes the candy coloured shade in fashion, art and politics over the years [and] features essays by scholars across the disciplines, giving readers access to a wealth of research into subjects' - Hunger 'Approaches the history of this single colour from the perspective of fashion and anyone curious about its made shade will find much to enjoy' - Times Literary Supplement 'Captivating' - Home House
