Summary:
As one of the most alluring yet elusive concepts in contemporary style, glamour is an ideal that permeates our visual culture. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue radically revises our understanding of glamour in the field of fashion, industrial design, and architecture. Tracing galmour's trajectory from Hollywood's golden age to its present-day connotations of affluence, this illustrated volume presents an array of post-war couture, jewelry, automobiles, furniture and built and unbuilt architecture-all of which share an affinity for richly decorative patterning, complex layering and sumptuous materials.

Summary:
From its origins in the eighteenth-century literature of terror to its contemporary manifestations in vampire fiction, cinema, and art, the gothic has embraced the powers of horror and the erotic macabre. “Gothic” is an epithet with a strange history – evoking images of death, destruction, and decay. Ironically, its negative connotations have made the gothic an ideal symbol of rebellion for a wide range of cultural outsiders. Popularly associated with black-clad teenagers and rock musicians, gothic fashion encompasses not only subcultural styles (from old-school goth to cyber-goth and beyond) but also high fashion by such designers as Alexander McQueen, John Galliano of Christian Dior, Rick Owens, Olivier Theyskens, and Yohji Yamamoto. Fashion photographers, such as Sean Ellis and Eugenio Recuenco, have also drawn on the visual vocabulary of the gothic to convey narratives of dark glamour. As the text and lavish illustrations in this book suggest, gothic fashion has deep cultural roots that give it an enduring potency.
