Download or read book As Seen in Vogue written by Daniel Delis Hill and published by Texas Tech University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the twentieth century the ready-to-wear industry, fashion journalism, and mass-media advertising fueled one another’s success by identifying an ever-widening consumer class and fanning the desire to be fashionable. Through more than six hundred fashion ads that appeared in Vogue from the magazine’s debut in 1893 through the next ten decades, Hill documents not only this symbiosis but also an evolution in American fashion, society, and culture.In rich progression, the images document metamorphoses: from alabaster Victorian homemaker to painted flapper in just a generation, from conformist fifties mom to miniskirt-clad iconoclast only a decade later, from power-suited yuppie of the eighties to the techno self-stylist of the new millennium. In this long view of interactions that shaped much, much more than the fashion, Hill offers a comprehensive examination and resource for students and professionals in fashion and business history, popular culture, advertising, marketing, and women’s studies.

Download or read book Armor written by John Steakley and published by Astra Publishing House. This book was released on 1984-12-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military sci-fi classic of courage on a dangerous alien planet The planet is called Banshee. The air is unbreathable, the water is poisonous. It is home to the most implacable enemies that humanity, in all its interstellar expansion, has ever encountered. Body armor has been devised for the commando forces that are to be dropped on Banshee—the culmination of ten thousand years of the armorers’ craft. A trooper in this armor is a one-man, atomic powered battle fortress. But he will have to fight a nearly endless horde of berserk, hard-shelled monsters—the fighting arm of a species which uses biological technology to design perfect, mindless war minions. Felix is a scout in A-team Two. Highly competent, he is the sole survivor of mission after mission. Yet he is a man consumed by fear and hatred. And he is protected, not only by his custom-fitted body armor, but by an odd being which seems to live within him, a cold killing machine he calls “The Engine.” This is Felix’s story—a story of the horror, the courage, and the aftermath of combat, and the story, too, of how strength of spirit can be the greatest armor of all.

Book excerpt: A beautifully tailored history of this fashion staple—at once a garment of tradition, power, and subversion. The Suit unpicks the story of this most familiar garment, from its emergence in western Europe at the end of the seventeenth century to today. Suit-wearing figures such as the Savile Row gentleman and the Wall Street businessman have long embodied ideas of tradition, masculinity, power, and respectability, but the suit has also been used to disrupt concepts of gender and conformity. Adopted and subverted by women, artists, musicians, and social revolutionaries through the decades—from dandies and Sapeurs to the Zoot Suit and Le Smoking—the suit is also a device for challenging the status quo. For all those interested in the history of menswear, this beautifully illustrated book offers new perspectives on this most mundane, and poetic, product of modern culture.

Download or read book Introduction to Suits index written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suitability index is a ranking system that is used to measure how well a particular product matches the needs and preferences of the target market. It is a widely used tool in the finance industry, especially in asset management, investment banking, and consulting. Suitability index aims to evaluate the suitability of a given financial product based on several factors, such as investment goals, risk appetite, and investment horizon. In other words, a high suitability index indicates that the product is an appropriate fit for the investor, while a low suitability index means that it may not be an appropriate investment for that investor. The suitability index can also be used to compare different financial products and find the most appropriate one for a given investor. In asset management, the suitability index is commonly used to assess the suitability of different mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other types of investment vehicles. Similarly, in investment banking, the suitability index can be used to evaluate the suitability of different financial products, such as debt and equity offerings, for different types of investors, such as institutional investors and retail investors. Overall, the suitability index is a useful tool for assessing the fit between a financial product and the investment goals, preferences, and constraints of a given investor or group of investors. However, it is important to note that the suitability index is not a perfect measure since it is based on subjective factors such as risk appetite and investment horizon. Therefore, investors should also consider other factors, such as past performance, fee structure, and the quality of the investment team, before making their investment decision. Despite its limitations, the suitability index remains a valuable tool for assessing the suitability of financial products and can help investors make more informed investment decisions.
