Book excerpt: No outfit is complete without accessories. Trinity of hats, scarves and gloves is a common ensemble that is used as modern fashion accessory by both men and women. It was a necessity to protect hands from gusty winds and keep them warm during cold-weather winters. The historic evolution and democratization development of gloves had an exotic trip with detours aplenty throughout the centuries. Gloves in fashion were an exclusive enterprise, a pursuit of the wealthy. Therefore, the use of materials, the length, and fabrication evolved from made at home into real industry. Eventually, an array of hand wear of different styles and colors became available for masses. In the intervening time, Europe countries were the ones that planted the seeds that would define fashion culture, chic and elegance for decades to come. Today, whatever its seasonal vagaries, gloves and mittens as fashion accessories have been a reflection of society as an industry, often stirring provocative debate. Is it art or craft? Who would wear elbow-long opera gloves? Is couture dead? Is department store obsolete? The answers are in the gloves themselves, in their history and present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gloves and the Glove Trade The primary Object Of this short handbook is to furnish in popular form an account Of an industry which, although of comparatively minor importance in point of value and extent, by reason Of its antiquity and the conditions under which it is carried on, presents many features of exceptional interest. It has been planned to meet the needs of that large class Of drapery buyers and assistants who are concerned with the buying and selling of gloves for and to the public but it is hoped that it may also find favour with a wider circle of readers from the ranks of those who are curious to learn something of the conditions under which articles in every-day use are produced. For that reason technical language and terms have been avoided, or where used are carefully explained. A brief sketch is given of the history Of the glove, and chapters are devoted to the various processes involved in the making of both leather and fabric gloves. It is the author's earnest hope, above all things, that this little work, slight as it is, may kindle a deeper interest in the British branches Of the trade, the activities Of which deserve to be more widely known and appreciated than they seem to be at the present time.

Download or read book Gloves written by Anne Green and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating history of gloves both real and mythical, practical and high fashion. This beautifully illustrated history of gloves draws on examples from across the world to explore their cultural significance. From hand-knitted mittens to exquisitely embroidered confections, and from the three-fingered gloves of medieval shepherds to Bluetooth-enabled examples that function like a mobile phone, gloves’ extraordinary variety is a tribute to human ingenuity. So, too, is the remarkable diversity of their—often contradictory—cultural associations. They have been linked to honor, identity, and status, but also to decadence and deceit. In this book, Anne Green discusses gloves both as material objects with their own fascinating history and as fictional creations in folktales, literature, films, etiquette manuals, paintings, and advertisements. Looking to the runway, Green even explores their recent resurgence as objects of high fashion.
