Résumé:
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:
''Radical fashion erxercises'' contains a copious collection of bottom-up activities, prompts, and workshops designed by contributors (from all around the globe), who explore fashion in an expanded field. Designers, curators, artists, educators, fashion practitioners, DIY home sewers, students, and other creatives responded to the book’s open call with contributions that challenge how to practice fashion and reflect on its systems, politics and economics. The exercises collected in this book embrace interdisciplinarity, experimentation, and aesthetics and widen fashion’s horizons as a medium for expression, embodiment and sociality. Radical Fashion Exercises assembles methods for learning and practicing fashion in meaningful, radical and responsible ways. The book is an inspiring tool for design students, designers, writers, and practitioners of diverse disciplines to challenge fashion as a commodity and polluting structure in these times of uncertainty and upheaval.

Résumé:
Afin de faire le point sur ses années de pratique en tant qu’architecte et designer, Maryla Sobek propose de considérer ensemble ces deux activités que sont l’architecture et le vêtement. La réflexion théorique à laquelle elle a consacré plusieurs années l’aura menée à un constat : la conception du vêtement occidental se trouve dans une impasse, et ce tant du point de vue de la structure que de la volumétrie. Quelles sont les solutions qui permettraient au vêtement de ne plus être tributaire des dimensions et de la structure du corps humain ? Sobek s’est lancé le défi de les explorer. Pour ce faire, elle se tourne vers l’architecture et opte pour un retour aux sources. Le choix d’une architecture non occidentale s’est imposé, plus particulièrement l’architecture dogon que l’on peut voir dans la falaise de Bandigara au Mali et qui est aujourd’hui considérée comme le parfait exemple de la rationalité en architecture vernaculaire.

Résumé:
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.
