This book examines the imaginative and compelling way in which fashion has permeated interior design. It considers the relationship between fashion on the catwalk and architecture, interiors and products, looking at the work of leading design houses, including Paul Smith, Missoni, Pucci, Issey Miyaki, Fendi and Versace. This investigation of the dissemination of trends takes the reader on an eclectic, adventurous excursion into living with fashion.

Abstract

Esthète et mécène, Madeleine Casing (1894-1992) est surtout connue aujourd'hui pour son œuvre de décoratrice. Elle conçut les intérieurs d'un XIXe siècle fantasmé et fit de sa boutique parisienne, rue Jacob, un temple du goût et de la conversation. Mais bien avant d'aménager la maison de Jean Cocteau à Milly-la-Forêt, elle côtoya la bohème de Montparnasse et lança le peintre Chaïm Soutine. Personnalité infiniment singulière et turbulente ayant toujours su brouiller les pistes pour mettre en scène sa propre image, elle inspira le personnage de Julietta à Louise de Vilmorin et eut pour amis Erik Satie, Pablo Picasso - selon qui elle était " la plus jolie femme de Paris " -, Blaise Cendrars, Maurice Sachs, Marcel Jouhandeau, Violette Leduc, Christian Bérard et beaucoup d'autres. Après avoir été une stakhanoviste du bonheur conjugal et une mécène aussi inspirée que manipulatrice, Madeleine Castaing fut, au cours des vingt-cinq dernières années de sa très longue vie, une Moud qui collectionna les jeunes Harold.

Abstract

From the development of the American West in the 19th century, America space be it the tract house, automobile, office, shopping mall or museum became representative of the utopian capitalist ideology that formed the landscape itself. This richly illustrated book contains a series of essays on the connections between the idea of utopia and of the means used to imagine and construct them. Contrary to European perceptions, such American spaces have not emerged from a tabula rasa, but from free adaptations of European models of urban design, at the level of territory and typology. Today, with American culture domination, these models are being returned to Europe and affecting European spaces.
