Summary:
In nineteenth-century Europe and the United States, fashion—once the province of the well-to-do—began to make its way across class lines. At once a democratizing influence and a means of maintaining distinctions, gaps in time remained between what the upper classes wore and what the lower classes later copied. And toward the end of the century, style also moved from the(...)

At once a democratizing influence and a means of maintaining distinctions, gaps in time remained between what the upper classes wore and what the lower classes later copied. And toward the end of the century, style also moved from the streets to the parlor. The third in a four-part series charting the social, cultural, and political expression of clothing, dress, and accessories, Fashioning the Nineteenth Century focuses on this transformative period in an effort to show how certain items of apparel acquired the status of fashion and how fashion shifted from the realm of the elites into the emerging middle and working classes—and back.

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.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage propose d’écrire l’histoire de la mode sous un angle inhabituel, sans se focaliser sur ses créateurs ou ses pièces, mais en analysant les discours qui, sous diverses formes, ont permis à la mode de se constituer comme discipline à part entière. En cela, « L’Idée de mode » déjoue les attentes communément accolées aux publications sur le sujet et mêle analyse de textes, histoire, et études visuelles dans le but d’intégrer cette discipline au champ plus large du design. Émilie Hammen replace ainsi la mode dans une histoire des idées qui prend sa source dans la période postrévolutionnaire en France, pour s’achever avec l’âge des avant-gardes au début du XXe siècle. À travers ce long XIXe siècle, se dessine une historiographie qui s’attache avant tout à identifier certains énonciateurs – ceux qui parlent et définissent ainsi successivement la mode au cours de cette période. En étudiant ces acteurs ainsi que le jeu de leurs apparitions et de leurs disparitions, l’autrice repense les tournants et les ruptures traditionnellement consacrés par les changements des silhouettes qui accompagnent souvent les mutations des régimes politiques. À la modification de la forme d’une manche ou d’une longueur de jupe, cette étude propose de substituer le passage du littérateur au tailleur, celui de l’ingénieur au créateur. Il s’agit ainsi moins de considérer la mode comme manifestation matérielle ou visuelle, que comme un ensemble de discours produits et pris en charge par des groupes socio-professionnels différents. Sans pour autant renoncer aux sources historiographiques qui ont composé les belles heures des histoires du costume, cet ouvrage entreprend plutôt de les éclairer d’un jour nouveau.

Summary:
Made by generations of women, the folk garment of the Romanian blouse secured its language despite eons of fierce changes. Author Simona Bortis-Schultz creates a cultural-historical biography of the blouse, from Neolithic beginnings in northeastern Romania and western Ukraine, through the period of folk revival, the Communist era and the post-Communist emigration out of the region. Design, location, colors and their semiotic significance relay the elements of a deliberate communication carried forth by women through enduring craft from prehistory to today. The Romanian proverb “to hold your heart in your teeth” means to move forward bravely despite fear. The book is an homage to generations of resilient women: honoring the design qualities of this feminine fortitude and the garment they made to survive.
