TRENCH COAT - JANE TYNAN TASCHENBUCH

Object Lessons is a series of short  beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of
ordinary things. We think we know the trench coat  but where does it come from and where will
it take us? From its origins in the trenches of WW1  this military outerwear came to project
the inner-being of detectives  writers  reporters  rebels  artists and intellectuals. The coat
outfitted imaginative leaps into the unknown. Trench Coat tells the story of seductive
entanglements with technology  time  law  politics  trust and trespass. Readers follow the rise
of a sartorial archetype through media  design  literature  cinema and fashion. Today  as a
staple in stories of future life-worlds  the trench coat warns of disturbances to come. Object
Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
