Santa Cruz native (and former bookseller at Bookshop Santa Cruz!) Chloe Chapin will share her debut book, Suitable: The Sartorial Revolution and the Fashioning of Modern Men—the surprising story of how the plain black suit became a symbol of masculinity, democracy, and modernity.
“Chapin’s colorful prose and eye for detail will forever change how we see the pantsuit and its role in politics.” — Lindsay M. Chervinsky, author of Making the Presidency
Chapin will be in conversation with B. Modern, a fellow costume designer.
