MONDAY BOOK MANIA






This week I browsed through Iconic America, a rollercoaster ride through eye-popying panorama of American Pop culture.
What is America? It’s Monopoly and Mickey Mouse, but also Sinatra and Fred Astaire. It’s the Declaration of Independence, but it’s also Barbie and Playboy. This contrast of images reflects America’s unique style and the influence that the images of America’s pop culture have had on the world. This book works as a great treasury of Americana. Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and famous adman George Lois have crafted an enlightening book, searching American history to find over 350 people, symbols, and things of import. Their iconic choices are entertainingly presented through surprising visual contrast. Inspired by Tommy Hilfiger’s passion for Americana .
