Download or read book Permanent Waving written by Louis Calvete and published by Adlibbed Limited. This book was released on 2007-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PERMANENT WAVING - THE GOLDEN YEARS: A Personal History After the First World War, during a social movement now called "Modernism," there was a revolution in both the styles and the technology of ladies' hairdressing. The technology was first developed by I. Calvete who designed the first practical heaters for permanent-waving and the publicity was the initiative of E. Suter, whose first name "Eugene," became synonymous with permanent-waving. For twenty years, they dominated the hairdressing scene and hardly a hairdresser or a woman would not have known the iconic name Eugene or not been permed with the equipment made by Calvete, (who incidentally was also involved in the development of early electrical equipment for medical and beauty treatments). Both they and many competitors, exhibited at regular beauty exhibitions and competed in prestigious hairdressing competitions, assisted by an army of inspired hairdressers who using the new techniques, created a range of elegant styles which were the hall-mark of the period. Yet the Second World War and advances in technology meant the sudden disappearance of the technique and that present-day hairdressers and women are totally unfamiliar with the methods which were so commonplace in those days although, in the author's opinion, many of the styles would be acceptable today. This is an account of how the company I. Calvete, and Eugene as well, came into being, prospered and evolved and vanished with the start of the hostilities of World War II. The Author Louis Calvete is the son of the founder of I. Calvete Ltd. and as a child, he grew up in an environment regarding the design, development and manufacture of hairdressing and medical equipment. At a time when some are talking of the "centenary of permanent-waving," he thinks it appropriate to draw attention to some of the forgotten pioneers of this unique period, and wishes to show that equipment which is totally unfamiliar today and even frightening to modern eyes, was in fact quite commonplace then, not regarded as particularly unusual and produced very attractive hair-styles for women of all social classes.
Download or read book Inventions That Didn t Change the World written by Julie Halls and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating, humorous, and downright perplexing selection of nineteenth-century inventions as revealed through remarkable–and hitherto unseen–illustrations from the British National Archive Inventions that Didn’t Change the World is a fascinating visual tour through some of the most bizarre inventions registered with the British authorities in the nineteenth century. In an era when Britain was the workshop of the world, design protection (nowadays patenting) was all the rage, and the apparently lenient approval process meant that all manner of bizarre curiosities were painstakingly recorded, in beautiful color illustrations and well-penned explanatory text, alongside the genuinely great inventions of the period. Irreverent commentary contextualizes each submission as well as taking a humorous view on how each has stood the test of time. This book introduces such gems as a ventilating top hat; an artificial leech; a design for an aerial machine adapted for the arctic regions; an anti-explosive alarm whistle; a tennis racket with ball-picker; and a currant-cleaning machine. Here is everything the end user could possibly require for a problem he never knew he had. Organized by area of application—industry, clothing, transportation, medical, health and safety, the home, and leisure—Inventions that Didn’t Change the World reveals the concerns of a bygone era giddy with the possibilities of a newly industrialized world.
