Over 200 colour images explore the most creative uses of stripes today and their varied and colourful appearances throughout history, from Aboriginal body painting to pop culture - think Elvis performing 'Jailhouse Rock' - to the works of modern artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, in the fashions of Missoni, on uniforms and national flags, as attention getting markings on street signs and lighthouses, and of course in interior design and architecture, including their iconic use in canvas fabrics, and on wallpapers and interiors by Todd Oldham, Muriel Brandolini, Jamie Drake, and many more.
