Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty (Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty (Metropolitan Museum of Art) by Andrew Bolton from Metropolitan Museum of Art

    Arguably the most influential, imaginative, and provocative designer of his generation, Alexander McQueen both challenged and expanded fashion conventions to express ideas about race, class, sexuality, religion, and the environment.


    Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty examines the full breadth of the designer’s career, from the start of his fledgling label to the triumphs of his own world-renowned London house. It features his most iconic and radical designs, revealing how McQueen adapted and combined the fundamentals of Savile Row tailoring, the specialized techniques of haute couture, and technological innovation to achieve his distinctive aesthetic. It also focuses on the highly sophisticated narrative structures underpinning his collections and extravagant runway presentations, with their echoes of avant-garde installation and performance art.

     

    Published to coincide with an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art organized by The Costume Institute, this stunning book includes a preface by Andrew Bolton; an introduction by Susannah Frankel; an interview by Tim Blanks with Sarah Burton, creative director of the house of Alexander McQueen; illuminating quotes from the designer himself; provocative and captivating new photography by renowned photographer Sølve Sundsbø; and a lenticular cover by Gary James McQueen.

      The Art of Manipulating Fabric

      The Art of Manipulating Fabric by Colette Wolff from Krause Publications

        The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric - gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials - are seemingly endless. To describe them all would be to describe the entire history of sewing.





        In The Art of manipulating Fabric, Colette Wolff has set herself just this task, and she succeeds brilliantly. Working from the simplest possible form - a flat piece of cloth and a threaded needle - she categorizes all major dimensional techniques, show how they are related, and give examples of variations both traditional and modern. The result is an encyclopedia of techniques that resurface, reshape, restructure and reconstruct fabric.





        • More than 350 diagrams support the extensive how-tos, organized into broad general categories, then specific sub-techniques




        • Handsome photos galleries showcase the breathtaking possibilities in each technique and aid visual understanding by emphasizing the sculptured fabric surface with light and shadow




        • Textile artists and quilters, as well as garment and home decor sewers, will expand their design horizons with the almost limitless effects that can be achieved

        Those who knit, crochet, or embroider have long had sources to which to turn for in-depth instructions on specific stitches and stitch combinations. Now there is such a reference for the sewer--an encyclopedic approach to gathering, shirring, ruffling, tucking, pleating, and quilting and their myriad variations. Filled with hundreds of diagrams and crisp black-and-white photos, this volume explains in detail how to achieve a tremendous range of three-dimensional fabric effects. This is not a book of particular projects; this is a book of instruction and inspiration for anyone who has ever wielded needle and thread. --Amy Handy

        Survey of Historic Costume

        Survey of Historic Costume by Phylliss G. Tortora from Fairchild Pubns

          In the Preface of the 5th Edition of Survey of Historic Costume, Tortora and Eubank conclude
          with the following: In the history of dress at the beginning of the 21st century,
          costume might be compared to a constantly moving river. This river divides into many narrower
          channels that separate, cross, come together, and separate again, and yet that river
          continually moves on. Building on the previous editions, the authors update their analysis
          of Western dress to 2008. With each new edition some elements of the title change. And
          those changes provide an opportunity to focus on some aspect that adds to the usefulness
          of this best seller. Survey of Historic Costume has, from its beginnings, taken seriously the
          need to accompany the text with appropriate illustrations and the major change in the 5th
          Edition is the move to full color throughout the book to enrich the text and the concepts.
          Perfect for anyone interested in historic costume, fashion, textiles, drama, and design, this
          beautifully illustrated book is full of interesting facts and commentary.
