Abstract

When Tony Viramontes' work appeared in the late 1970s, his hard and direct style of drawing was a marked contrast to the prevailing soft-pastel school of fashion illustration. He scored immediate success, rapidly acquiring the kind of prestigious editorial commissions normally given to photographers, from Lei, Per Lui in Italy,Vogue in the USA, The Face in Britain, and Le Monde and Le Figaro in France.This beautiful hardcover book brings together an extensive collection of his work, featuring striking images of smoldering and smoky-eyed men and women who vibrate with New Wave energy. Viramonte

Abstract

For at least two centuries, fashion and art have maintained a competitive love-hate relationship. Both fashion and art construct imaginary worlds, and use a language of style to invigorate beliefs, perceptions and ideas. Until now the crossovers of fashion and art have received only scattered treatment and suffered from a dearth of theorization. As an attempt to theorize the area, this collection of new and updated essays is the most well-rounded and authoritative to date. Some of the world's foremost scholars in the field are assembled here to explore the art-fashion nexus in numerous ways: f

Abstract

Radical chic gets a new definition in this stunning survey of fashion trends that are emerging far away from the runways.&#13;In Xtreme Fashion authors Courtenay Smith and Sean Topham turn their attention to the fashion world, where haute couture is taking a backseat to serious concerns about the environment, personal safety, and privacy. Featuring more than 300 color photos and fascinating text, the authors show how real fashion starts on the streets, born of urban conditions from gang culture to teenybopper worship. They showcase the works of designers, artists, and other creative individuals such as Moreno Ferrari, Freddie Robins, Vexed Generation, Alicia Framis, Daniele Buetti, Lucy Orta, and Hussein Chalayan to illustrate the demand for clothing that can protect, extend, alter, mark or mask the human body. Putting forth the idea that truly extreme fashion is not designed to be outlandish, but useful, Xtreme Fashion looks beyond the latest hemlines and "new blacks" to clothing and accessories that respond to the world we live in.

Abstract

Sinds de jaren zestig lijkt de grens tussen mode en kunst steeds meer te vervagen. De mode, die door de jeugdcultuur van de jaren zestig veel democratischer werd, is vanaf dat moment ook een medium waarmee concepten, ideeën en politieke idealen kunnen worden uitgedrukt. Het begint met op Pop-Art geïnspireerde jurken en futuristische tenues van Paco Rabane en André Courrèges. In de jaren tachtig volgen de conceptuele ontwerpen van Japanners zoals Yohji Yamamoto en Commes des Garçons, die de grenzen van de kleding verkennen. Vanaf 2000 zijn het onder meer de installaties van Viktor & Rolf en Hussein Chalayan die indruk maken. Doordat de mode niet langer alleen maar het ideaalbeeld van een vrouw neerzet, maar ook een reflectie is op wat er speelt in onze cultuur, is ook de kunstwereld geïnteresseerd geraakt in mode. Mode en verbeelding maakt aan de hand van vele illustraties en toonaangevende auteurs uit binnen- en buitenland de betekenis van dit fenomeen duidelijk.

Abstract

During an era in which the cultural world is obsessed with issues of globalization, postcolonialism and reparations of historical guilt, the implicit aspect of desire is almost never assessed--until now. *Beyond Desire* focuses on a desiring dialect between the broad "idea" of Africa, on one hand, and Europe on the other. As a starting point for this book, the essayists asked a series of poignant questions: what happens when different cultures meet, and can that meeting be meaningful? How are attitudes--rather than identities--constructed through appropriation or projection in imagery and visualization? How, in the domain of clothing, for example, does the wearing but also the possession of a certain type of clothing or accessory function as a compensatory strategy for certain failures of society, politics, or development? And, is fashionpossibly the site for the negotiation of social relationships, local institutions and transnational connections? Beyond Desireshowcases fashion by designers like Christian Dior and John Galliano, and includes fashion photography, African studio photography, art and documentary stills. In these pages, European fashion designers show how they have adopted the embellishments, scarifications, colors and textiles of the Masai tribe, and combined them with elements of Western haute couture. Here, fashion creates fantasy onto which qualities such as seduction, eroticism, exuberance--and desire--are projected. And while the random mixing of ethnic and contemporary elements confirms the cliche of "the other," the radical outcome is both strange and beautiful.

Abstract

Despite being vastly different both socially and economically, art and fashion are increasingly converging to collaborate in mutually advantageous ways. This book discusses the mutual benefits of collaboration through analysis of successful case studies, including corporate art collections and museums, patronage and sponsorship initiatives, and art-based brand management in the fashion sector. It provides a categorization of the strategies that fashion firms employ when they join the art world and illustrates how art and fashion brands can interact strategically at different levels. This book will be a valuable resource to researchers, providing an enhanced understanding of the potential of artification for managing brands and products.

Abstract

This illustrated book and the associated exhibition at the Frick Collection examine Whistler's depiction of women and in particular the aspect of dress and fashion as important elements in his pictures. Several authors apply their talents as historians of art and costume to explore the place of dress in Whistler's oeuvre. Themes treated include Whistler the dandy, Victorian modes of dress, Oriental and Aesthetic Movement influences, female portraiture and the artist/model relationship.
