Download or read book Antonio Marras Ediz Inglese written by Antonio Mancinelli and published by Marsilio Editori. This book was released on 2006 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a monograph devoted to Antonio Marras, one of the most interesting of today's fashion designers. The Italian designer's work is documented in a thorough but not celebratory way, through short essays that examine the different themes of his poetics. An interview, an accurate biography and a list of all his shows complete the volume. At the same time a lavish set of illustrations reflects the development of his ideas and creativity, all the way up to his most recent, prestigious appointment as artistic director of Kenzo Woman. Antonio Marras is an outstanding figure in the panorama of contemporary fashion. Mode is a series edited by Maria Luisa Frisa, which studies fashion as creative system of the contemporary world and analyzes its ability to generate products, images and ideas that have a determining influence on daily life, guiding and directing tastes and trends. It is a series that uses today's perspectives to look behind significant people and events to reconstruct the birth and evolution of a system that is constantly in motion. Mode's aim is to be a quick and versatile tool, featuring essays on a single topic and critical monographs on the new protagonists of the fashion system, with black-and-white and full colour illustrations that coexist in harmony in a format that is almost pocketsize, at a reasonable price, in Italian and English. It will be the ideal tool for the ever-growing number of students pursuing degrees in fashion and fashion-related subjects, for scholars, for members of the trades as well as for all those who want to know more about a topic which, along with architecture, art, cinema, design and photography contributes to defining today's landscapes. Maria Luisa Frisa is the fashion curator of The Fondazione Pitti Discovery, and chair of the new degree course in Fashion Design at the Faculty of Arts and Design, IUAV Venice.

Book excerpt: The definitive story of the tailors, customers, and clothes of Savile Row, the international destination and renowned epicenter of gentlemen’s style The skilled tailors of Savile Row in London have dressed kings, movie stars, rock legends, billionaires, and even a few regular guys. A Savile Row suit remains an enduring and highly individual symbol of the finest a man can buy. From its origins close to Britain’s main royal palaces, the Row has grown from clothing aristocrats to military men, and more recently it has been revitalized by a renewed appreciation of personalized, handmade goods and by a new generation of modern sartorialists. Told through eight chronological themes, this beautifully illustrated celebration brings together Savile Row’s highlights and low-lifes, the dramas and private tales, the suits and their accoutrements, the fabrics and the cuts, the history and future. Each chapter charts a stage of the Row’s development and its contribution to men’s fashion and culture. Throughout the book are dispersed twenty-six profiles of today’s master tailors, providing insight into what makes their work, relationships, and clothes so special. The book is finely detailed with reference sections on the anatomy and making of the perfect suit.

Download or read book Wig Wag written by Alessandra Vaccari and published by Marsilio Editori. This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flags are everywhere, even in our wardrobes. Why are these brightly coloured cloth rectangles so fascinating? Are they fetishistic cult objects, fascinating stereotypes of identity or unsettling signs of power? And how do they fit into the omnivorous iconography of fashion and the anarchy of the creative processes of style? The book, Wig Wag, The Flags of Fashion rides along in the midst of that dense stream of visions and references - sporty, ethnic, patriotic or nostalgic - triggered by flags as a theme and by their relationship with fashion. It tears them away from the immediate association with the concept of nations and follows them through their visual metamorphoses that were created and guided by historic names such as Elsa Schiaparelli, Christian Dior and Emilio Pucci; designers and brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Vivienne Westwood, Franco Moschino, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Antonio Marras, Alexander McQueen and Viktor & Rolf; and street-style brands, including Mambo, Vans, Eastpak, Gsus, Nigo, Stussy and Ipath. Irony and identity are the driving forces behind the multiple ways in which the flags of the United States, Great Britain and Italy have been appropriated. Fashion also has a place for the colors of Brazil, Jamaica and Japan, red flags, rainbow flags and flags that have no country. The book traverses this explosion of colourful symbols to present the creative processes of a fashion in close contact with cinema, art, design and music.
