E-book Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion vol. 2

A perusal of academic books in fashion studies over the last decade reveals that the term “fad” itself may have fallen out of style. Even Arthur Berger’s text Ads, Fads, and Consumer Culture includes little mention of fads. Still, popular media feature lists of “what’s hot” versus “what’s not.” Why aren’t these called fads? Perhaps the timespace nexus associated with contemp…

E-book Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion

Historically, schools of higher learning were referred to as stadium generale or universitas; titles conferred by the Pope of the day, with the latter being the higher honor. This early association with religion can still be seen in the similarities between academic dress and church robes. However, the early schools were not religious orders as a rule, but rather scholastic guilds made up of st…

E-book Gianni Versace

Versace posed and provoked the basic issues of fashion's role. Versace tantalized us with vulgarity. In this, he adapted a strategy from the fine arts in the twentieth century, including elements of the banal and coarse in his sensibility.

E-book Fashion Design (Short Course)

Clothing has long been used as more than just a way to coverpeople’s bodies. Different types of clothing clearly reveal status, especially in the past but even today, and also the wearers’ personalities. This need to conceal and also to reveal relies on a range of different clothing types and will often bechosen by wearers to do both. One of the most puzzling aspects of clothing is fashion.…

E-book Fashion Style

Fashion is a hard word to describe, but it generally refers to clothing and clothing trends. When people think about fashion, they generally think about high fashion – items of clothing that are unique, trend setting, and not readily available. High fashion clothing can often be seen on the red carpet being worn by celebrities. Custom, one-of-a-kind high fashion garments are referred to as ha…

E-book Vogue on Hubert de Givenchy

When, as a young man, Hubert de Givenchy was invited to grand dances, he sat out because he didn’t dance. He has said he spent the time “looking.” There was much to catch his eye. The newly optimistic mood in Paris that followed the Liberation in the late 1940s heralded a flurry of balls, tactfully held in aid of war charities. Vogue Paris published in color the Bal des Oiseaux at the Pal…

E-book Christian Dior : The Metropolitan Museum of Art

At the waning of this century, we take the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Christian Dior's New Look to review the magnificent work he created in a little more than one decade at the century's heart. Few occasions in fashion history are as precise, and few are as worthy of consideration and celebration. It is difficult to analyze Dior today: the intervening four decades have irrevocabl…
