Earlier this year, TrekToday reported<\/a> that a new book featuring Star Trek<\/em> costumes over the years would arrive this autumn, and now there are previews of the book available.<\/p>\n

Star Trek: Costumes \u2014 Five Decades of Fashion from the Final Frontier<\/em>, a two-hundred-and-fifty-six page hardcover written by Paula M. Block<\/strong> and Terry J. Erdman<\/strong>, will be released in October.<\/p>\n

The official description from Insight Editions<\/em> is as follows: “This deluxe book showcases the unique costumes of the Star Trek<\/em> saga, taking in fifty years of iconic and hugely influential designs. Drawing on the entire franchise, including all twelve films and six TV series, Star Trek: Costume<\/em>s explores the creation of some of the most memorable garb in the galaxy, telling the complete story of how Star Trek<\/em>‘s outlandishly chic wardrobe has been expanded in increasingly thrilling ways throughout the years.<\/p>\n

“From the classic Starfleet uniforms and daringly provocative outfits of The Original Series to flowing Vulcan robes, flamboyant Ferengi fashions, and formidable Klingon wedding attire, Star Trek: Costumes<\/em> explores how these designs have played a key role in transporting fans to distant worlds and alien cultures over the last five decades.<\/p>\n

“Filled with exclusive photography, stills from the saga, rare concept art, and other striking visuals, Star Trek: Costumes<\/em> also focuses on the talented individuals who have brought the Star Trek<\/em> universe to life, including original costume designer William Ware Theiss<\/strong> and his successors, Robert Fletcher, Robert Blackman<\/strong>, and, most recently, Michael Kaplan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Featuring extensive information on the creation of each featured costume, with insight and anecdotes from interviewees including Blackman, Kaplan, J.J. Abrams, LeVar Burton, Jonathan Frakes<\/strong>, and Ronald D. Moore<\/strong>, this book is a comprehensive and captivating celebration of the incredible artistry that has made Star Tre<\/em>k’s costumes as innovative and imaginative as its futuristic technologies.<\/p>\n
