Summary:
Connecting significant religious art and artifacts to their sartorial expressions, 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination' provides a critical analysis of fashion’s engagement with notions of the divine. Exploring fashion’s complex and often controversial relationship with Catholicism, Heavenly Bodies probes what dress reveals about the state of religion and spirituality within contemporary culture, and how it may manifest—or subvert—Catholic values and ideology. Art objects, such as devotional paintings and altarpieces from The Met’s collection, are presented alongside fashions from designers including Cristóbal Balenciaga, Callot Soeurs, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, John Galliano, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Madame Grès, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Jeanne Lanvin, Claire McCardell, Alexander McQueen, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Gianni Versace.

Summary:
'Mending Matters' explores sewing on two levels: first, it includes more than 20 hands-on projects that showcase current trends in visible mending that are edgy, modern, and bold-but draw on traditional stitching. It does all this through just four very simple mending techniques: exterior patches, interior patches, slow stitches, darning, and weaving. In addition, the book addresses the way mending leads to a more mindful relationship to fashion and to overall well-being. In essays that accompany each how-to chapter, Katrina Rodabaugh explores mending as a metaphor for appreciating our own naturally flawed selves, and she examines the ways in which mending teaches us new skills, self-reliance, and confidence, all gained from making things with our own hands.

La mode québécoise peut-elle réinventer son modèle pour devenir plus responsable et locale ? Les fibres naturelles sont-elles la clé pour réconcilier la mode et le respect de l'environnement ? Découvrez comment vos choix vestimentaires transforment ce secteur grâce à « Tisser l'avenir : Vers une mode québécoise responsable ». Entre histoire, innovation et durabilité, ce manifeste pour la mode durable explore l'évolution de cet écosystème, de la production des fibres – naturelles, artificielles et synthétiques – jusqu'à leur commercialisation. Il valorise le savoir-faire régional, encourage les pratiques circulaires et appelle une communauté diversifiée – agriculteurs, designers, entrepreneurs – à repenser leurs pratiques. Une invitation à imaginer la mode non plus comme une simple industrie, mais comme un dialogue vivant entre tradition et innovation, de la ferme à la mode.

Summary:
Under the label Atelier Zanolli, a fantastic world of silk fabrics painted and imprinted with patterns, opulently embroidered cushions, colorful pearl creations, and finely crafted leather and wood articles, was created between 1905 and 1939 in Zurich. The Zanollis had immigrated from Italy in 1905. Their family business was run by Antonietta and her daughters Pia, Lea, and Zoe Zanolli. The cultural and stylistic influences manifested in the Zanollis’ visually appealing products range from the avant-garde to an aesthetic forged by a spirit of intellectual national defense against the increasing threat of the totalitarian regimes in Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and the communist Soviet Union, that was prevalent in Switzerland in the 1930s. Driven by a striving for artistic self-realization, the atelier defied the many economic challenges of the period and carried out many commissions for Zurich’s leading textile businesses and department stores. This book traces the history of Atelier Zanolli, places its work in the context of the growth of Zurich and the Swiss textile industry in the first half of the twentieth century, and for the first time positions the “Zanolli style” internationally. More than six hundred images show the wealth of colors and shapes in a veritable cosmos of textiles and crafted objects, as well as templates, sketches, private photographs, business cards, and letters. The essays illuminate the techniques and work processes used, discuss entire motif families and unique designs, and grant rare comprehensive insight into the tastes of the time.
