Belgian artist, designer, and interior decorator Isabelle de Borchgrave has created exquisite paper dresses evoking high fashions from the courts of the Medici in the Renaissance to the legendary Fortuny silks of the early 20th century. Their historical authenticity, combined with their startling realism, caused an overnight sensation when they were first shown in France in 1998 as “papiers à la mode.” Since then, the dynamic, light-hearted collection has traveled all over the world to critical and popular acclaim.

Paper Illusions does full justice to De Borchgrave’s magical workshop, where paper is cut, folded, and painted on the way to being transformed into shimmering visions of beautiful clothing and luxurious living. In Rene Stoeltie’s vivid photographs, figures from the history of style seem to breathe in atmospheric rooms, while details of color, pattern, and form jump off the page. It is a publishing event of unprecedented creativity, wit, and elegance.

This multidisciplinary volume was inspired by the quincentenary of the death of Queen Isabel I of Castile, early modern Europe's first powerful queen regnant. Comprising work by distinguished art historians, musicologists, historians, and literary scholars from England, Spain, and the United States, it begins with a theoretical examination of medieval queenship itself that argues - against the grain of the volume - for its inseparability from kingship. Several essays examine the complex ways in which the Queen and her advisers shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of fifteenth-century Spain and how these in turn shaped the sovereign's power and persona. Others analyze influences on Isabel's reign from Aragón, Portugal, and northern Europe. A third group deals with issues of periodization, arguing from a variety of perspectives for the modernity of Isabelline culture. The evolving construction of Isabel's image from the mid-fifteenth to the late-twentieth century is also studied. BARBARA WEISSBERGER is Associate Professor Emerita of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Minnesota.

Des maisons de tous styles et de toutes époques se sont rassemblées dans cet ouvrage pour nous présenter leur métamorphose. Elles rafraîchissent les habits du passé et se complètent de superbes extensions en bois d'une architecture qui affirme sa vision contemporaine. Une belle manière de se réactualiser et de se projeter dans le futur. De la plus modeste à la plus extravagante, ces extensions signent une avancée significative dans l'évolution de l'esthétique architecturale, mais également dans les techniques mises en oeuvre dans le secteur du bois. Un parcours en constante progression au bénéfice de ceux qui choisissent cette expérience incomparable et des architectes qui réinventent le concept d'habiter. Un livre pour eux, en hommage. Pour les septiques qui hésitent encore. Pour les rêveurs qui aiment contempler le beau. Pour les entreprenants qui désirent le changement. (quatrième de couverture)
