Résumé:
In the 1970's, Paris fashion exploded like a champagne bottle left out in the sun. Amid sequins and longing, celebrities and aspirants flocked to the heart of chic, and Paris became a hothouse of reverly, intrigue, and searing ambition. At the center of it all were fashion's most beloved luminaries, Yves Saint Laurent, the reclusive enfant terrible, and Karl Lagerfeld, the flamboyant freelancer with a talent for reinvention, and they divided Paris into two fabulous halves. Their enduring rivalry is chronicled in this dazzling exposé of an era: of social ambitions, shared obsessions, and the mesmerizing quest for beauty.

Résumé:
Inspired by interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek have systematically documented numerous identities. They call their series ’Exactitudes’: a contraction of ’exact’ and ’attitude’. By registering their subjects in an identical framework they provide an almost scientific record of people’s attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. The apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is taken to such extremes that the artistic aspect dominates the purely documentary element. Rotterdam’s heterogeneous street scene remains a major source of inspiration for them, although for this new edition they have also visited Praia (Cabo Verde), New York and Bordeaux.

Artist and fashion designer Cinzia Ruggeri (1942–2019) made her artistic research a tool for inquiry into the functional and semantic properties of the object and the architectural and social dimension of the body, according to an original and nonconformist perspective enriched by irony and oneirism. This is the first monograph on this unconventional figure who moved across disciplines with absolute freedom. Her life and versatile practice were driven by the desire to redefine the formal and functional status of elements of everyday life, from apparel to accessories, from furnishings to lighting. Ruggeri created imaginative, provocative, elegant, and never predictable worlds.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.
