Summary:
Founded in 1951 by visionary textile designer Armi Ratia and her husband, Viljo, the Marimekko Corporation in Finland not only sparked a revolution in pattern making but also pioneered a new definition of fashion that embraced the entire home environment. This book presents more than one hundred examples of the exuberant Marimekko fashions and home furnishings that gave the company a definitive presence on the world design stage. The book considers the history of the company from its founding through today and examines Marimekko’s impact on design in Finland and around the world. The company’s most important designers, including Maija Isola and Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, their contributions, and their stylistic development are also discussed. In addition, the book examines Marimekko home and office interiors and how they reflected the lifestyle envisioned in Armi Ratia’s broad, radical definition of fashion.

Au XIXe siècle, les châles en cachemire suscitèrent une folle passion, fort bien décrite - et parfois raillée - par Balzac. Ramenés de la campagne d'Egypte par les soldats de Bonaparte, ils donnèrent naissance à une vogue qui se répandit comme une traînée de poudre.

Summary:
Au XIXe siècle, les châles en cachemire suscitèrent une folle passion, fort bien décrite - et parfois raillée - par Balzac. Ramenés de la campagne d'Egypte par les soldats de Bonaparte, ils donnèrent naissance à une vogue qui se répandit comme une traînée de poudre. Une nouvelle industrie se développa alors en Europe pour répondre à cet engouement croissant, et Napoléon poussa les fabricants français à rivaliser d'astuce pour imiter ces cachemires hors de prix. L'invention du métier à tisser Jacquard permis alors d'exécuter des décors étonnamment riches et complexes. La production française, entraîna même les artisans du Cachemire à imiter les modèles envoyés de Paris. Monique Lévi-Strauss, retrace, dans cet ouvrage très documenté, illustré et complété par de récentes découvertes, l'histoire de cette production, symbole du génie industriel, du raffinement et de la délicatesse du XIXe siècle. Exploitant documents d'archives, comptes rendus d'expositions et collections privées et publiques, l'auteur explore ce pan de l'histoire des arts et des techniques et fait.
