Alan Flusser discusses his book, Making the Man, which explores the relationship between what a person wears and the image that individual is trying to project, "a good suit never hurt a lawyer." Alan wrote the book, based on his experience as a men's fashion designer, because he wanted to encourage people to purchase clothes with the possibility of longevity to address issues related to the rapidity of change in the men's fashion industry. Alan believes that people should become more aware and involved choosing the clothing they wear rather than looking to designers and magazines to determine what is appropriate to wear. Alan spends extensive time in his book covering all aspects of fashion wear for men, from what and when to how the clothing should fit. Alan also briefly discusses the gendered aspects of men's fashion.
