'The Oudoor Archive'

This exhilarating volume chronicles the evolution of outdoor apparel advertising across a century. With its retro feel — and exhaustive catalogue of outfits from brands like Columbia, The North Face, and Snow Peak — this stunning visual collective traverses generations, sports, styles, and continents. Images are contextualized with words by Chris Burkard, Jeff Staple, Clint Pumphrey, and Conrad Anker, and personal reflections from more than twenty industry leaders, designers, creatives and sportspeople. Four 8-page inserts, printed on a contrasting paper stock, reveal inner pages from the catalogues. With diverse typography, illustration and collage, 'The Outdoor Archive', published by Thames & Hudson, is a rich resource for graphic designers and creative studios. A covetable object in its own right, the book features a screen-printed cover and corrugated slipcase.
