Vintage 1980s Men's Fashion Book, "Man Alive" by Charles Hix
$24.00
Vintage 1980s "Man Alive" hardcover coffee table book by Charles Hix with photographs by Stephen Au Coin. Book features male models and men's fashion with gay overtones.
From inside cover:
Today men have greater freedom than ever to look the way they want. Men's fashion has entered a new era; the dress-for-repress uniform is out. Instead, men can express their physicality and emotions as women have done for years. But for many men this new freedom is bewildering.
In Man Alive! Charles Hix, the acknowledged expert on male appearance, provides the answers men need. As he did in his best-selling books Looking Good and Working Out, Hix tells men how to look terrific. With authority and imagination, he shows how to express eleven different moods and emotions, from sexy, easy and sporty to crisp and smart off the job, and from reliable and sincere to ingenious and powerful on the job.
Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 photographs, including 24 pages of color, Man Alive! is the outstanding guide to men's style in the 1980s.

Book is in used condition with wear to the dust jacket, a couple 1" tears on the front cover, a 2" tear on the back cover, and the dust jacket shows overall wear. The inside cover is folded in half and there's a lot of highlighting and writing inside which I personally really enjoy.
