Youngest of the great coutouriers, reluctant hero of the glamourous world of fashion, Christian Lacroix was the star that the 1980s was waiting for, bringing new life to the sleeping world of haute couture. In founding his own house and launching his startling luxurious and wonderfully elegant collections. Lacroix turned all accepted wisdom on its head. Time has vindicated this shy man in love with the theatre, with literature and tradition. He is a designer whose nature is profoundly that of an artist, nourished on culture and the 'remembrance of things past' that runs like a thread through even the simplest of his dresses. With 48 illustrations, 42 in colour. |

Bowman,
Sara & Molinare, Michel: A Fashion for
Extravagance - Art Deco Fabrics and Fashions Bell and Hyman 1st 1985 F/F 588 gms (Order reference 2585). In the Art Deco period art, design, and fashion all enjoyed a surge of glorious inventiveness. Fashion, inspired from the center of haute couture in Paris, took off in revolutionary new directions. Dress could be decorated with intricate, heavily beaded embroidery, bold pictorial designs, or dramatic geometric patterns. Nothing was too exotic to be tried. The division between fashion and art was very narrow, and well-known artists such as Raoul Dufy and Sonia Delaunay turned their skills to designing textiles for the couturiers. Colorful, eccentric figures such as Paul Poiret and Mariano Fortuny were generating ever newer and more daring ideas. Specialist embroidery houses like that of Felix Lallement were supplying magnificent hand-worked embroideries to be used in the most extravagant haute couture. A Fashion for Extravagance gives a unique and inspiring insight into this glamorous and exciting world. Illustrated in full colour is Sara Bowman's hitherto unpublished collection of working designs and embroidery samples from the period, including many from the Maison Lallement and Poiret's special design house, the Atelier Martine. Through these rare and beautiful examples the reader can have an insider's glimpse of the artists and designers of the Art Deco period as they first experimented with the new ideas that would form the glamorous fashions of Paris in the 19I0s and I 920s. Set alongside this collection are photographs of the fabrics and fashions designed by some of the most famous names of the period — Dufy, Poiret, Fortuny, Erte and Sonia Delaunay — and the accompanying text conjures up their distinctive, fascinating, and ephemeral world. The book as a whole offers not merely a unique visual feast, but also many new insights into the burgeoning of Art Deco fashion design. |

Tie - the science and aesthetics of tie knots Fourth Estate 1st 1999 8vo. D/w spine v v sl sunned o/w M/F+ 245 gms (Order reference 14015). Until 1900 there was only one. In the 1930s Edward, Prince of Wales became the unwitting embodiment of two more, even though he in fact wore neither. It was not until 1989 that a fourth was finally identified: in more than 150 years of tie wearing, only four ways to tie a tie were generally known. But fashion's lethargy has been science's opportunity. Two Cambridge physicists, using a model based on atomic motion and a branch of mathematics — knot theory — determined to unravel the full potential of the twists and turns of the neck tie and to free men's fashion from the tyranny of limited choice. This is the story of how they did it, how they discovered that eighty-five knots could be tied. By expressing aesthetic criteria such as symmetry and balance in mathematical terms, thirteen of the eighty-five knots could be proved to be stylish: the aesthetic knots. They
are all presented here, with diagrams and photographs, and accompanied
by a history of tie tying. For the first time it is possible to choose
between a Plattsburgh and an Oriental, a St. Andrews and a Nicky —
as well as the already-known Windsor, half-Windsor and the ubiquitous
four-in-hand. Style and science have never before combined so effortlessly
to fashion the opportunities for the tie knot. |

Hart,
Avril: Ties V & A Publications 1st 1998 square fmt 4to, v v sl wr to board edges o/w F/F 495 gms (Order reference 13465). This lively account of the development of the necktie from the 1670s to the present draws on evidence from paintings, engravings, contemporary written sources and stunning photographs of high-fashion examples of this essential element of male dress. The tie is not only of interest for sartorial reasons, it also serves as a label, offering an insight into the man himself. An item of dress so close to the face is always conspicuous, and therefore, either by its presence or absence, a man is automatically assessed. His taste (or lack of it) is revealed, and even his politics, education or sporting achievements can be deduced. This book offers insights into the wearing of ties by historical characters such as Samuel Pepys, whose pride in his wardrobe is clearly indicated in his famous diary, and the legendary Regency dandy Beau Brummell. It shows how current styles have developed from earlier fashions, and features examples of contemporary ties from the elegant and stylish to the downright outrageous. Today ties seem to be more popular than ever, and designer labels compete with more and more unusual designs and materials. Ties
is an essential account not only for those with an interest in the social
history of dress but also for anyone conscious of trends in men's fashion.
The many, varied illustrations are drawn from contemporary sources and
original designs, as well as featuring stunning photographs of ties
from the V&A's world famous dress collection. |

Stevenson,
Pauline: Bridal Fashions Ian Allan 1st 1978 4to, v v slightn discolouration to page edges o/w VG++/VG++ 805 gms (Order reference 12018). All brides, we know, are beautiful ... In this book Pauline Stevenson looks at the evolution of bridal adornment through the ages and the many quaint customs that have been associated with the wedding ceremony, both in the church and after it. She spans in text and pictures the great gulf in time, outlook and behaviour between the shrinking medieval 'bride of convenience' to the emancipated marriage partner of today. She looks too at rings and cakes and trousseaux, and what used to be called bottom drawers — 'six flannel pairs (if these be worn)'. This beautifully illustrated book will prove a delight to those who still look on weddings as a happy and civilised means of adapting the human condition.
