Summary:
Forget makeover culture, forget slavishly following fashion diva dictates, forget your insecurities—forget everything you’ve ever read in fashion magazines! This guide shows you that the secret to finding your inherent natural style is to have fun and be inspired. Kira Jolliffe and Bay Garnett, clothing aficionados and editors of Britain’s hit Cheap Date magazine, show you how to build your style without going broke, going mad, or coming out looking like everyone else. Included are chapters on developing your own sense of style, the art of accessorizing, and crafting a cool wardrobe from a mix of cheap basics and chic secondhand finds. Because "to be stylish, you need to be into clothes, and if you’re into clothes, you’re into finding them," the CD girls share their time-tested strategies for thrifting, including how to identify prized finds. For further inspiration, throughout the book there are interviews with some of the world’s most stylish women, including Mischa Barton, Rachel Weisz, and Chloë Sevigny. Following the age-old mantra "the rules are—there are no rules," this sophisticated yet scrappy guide will refresh and reinvigorate both you and your wardrobe.

La rayure et les étoffes rayées sont longtemps restées en Occident des marques d'exclusion ou d'infamie. En furent notamment vêtus tous ceux qui, à un titre ou à un autre, se situaient aux marges de la société chrétienne ou bien en dehors : jongleurs, musiciens, bouffons, bourreaux, prostituées, condamnés, hérétiques, juifs, musulmans ainsi que, dans les images, le Diable(...)

Summary:
La rayure et les étoffes rayées sont longtemps restées en Occident des marques d'exclusion ou d'infamie. En furent notamment vêtus tous ceux qui, à un titre ou à un autre, se situaient aux marges de la société chrétienne ou bien en dehors : jongleurs, musiciens, bouffons, bourreaux, prostituées, condamnés, hérétiques, juifs, musulmans ainsi que, dans les images, le Diable et toutes ses créatures. Sans faire aucunement disparaître ces rayures très négatives, l'époque romantique voit apparaître une nouvelle forme de rayures, positives et liées aux idées nouvelles de liberté, de jeunesse, de plaisir et de progrès. Dans les sociétés contemporaines, ces deux types de rayures cohabitent : celles des vêtements de prisonniers, de la pègre, des lieux dangereux et mortifères, et celles du jeu, du sport, de l'hygiène, de la mer et de la plage.

Summary:
Traditionally the visual sign of clanship and district, tartan was popularized outside Scotland by the tartan-clad Highland regiments and Queen Victoria's royal endorsement. Hollywood has continued to sustain the romantic fictions of tartan from Brigadoon to Braveheart. At the same time, designers such as Westwood and McQueen have deliberately subverted the traditional and historical associations of the fabric, as have contemporary artists such as Matthew Barney. Post-punk, tartan now turns up in the most surprising places, influencing the conceptual clothing of a generation of Japanese designers such as Watanabe and Takahashi, the stage costumes of Outkast's Andre 3000 and contemporary interior design.

Summary:
Mark Borthwick is among the generation of photographers who in the ’90s broke through the conventions of fashion photography. Integrating elements of architecture and design, he has developed a very personal and intuitive style, and knows how to turn a static photo into a performance. His work is about the movement of the model, and the serendipity of accidental clutter is as important to his images as the garments. This book showcases over 200 images from Borthwick’s best fashion editorials, celebrity portraits, and advertising work, as well as excerpts from his personal journals. The journal pages, consisting of Polaroids, sketches, and notes on shoots, reveal the workings of a photographer’s mind—the "behind the scenes" of the makings of a fashion image.
