Memorias del primer gran revolucionario en el mundo de la moda, cuyas innovaciones han influido en su desarrollo posterior.En el egolátrico, fascinante, mudable, populoso, y siempre de moda, mundo de la moda, pocas vidas hay tan singulares y tan llenas de interes como la del poco recordado modisto parisino Paul Poiret (1879-1944). Su figura no es solo trascendental para conocer la evolucion de la moda en la epoca del art deco y de las vanguardias, tambien el mismo, como personaje, tiene un enorme y dramatico atractivo. Poiret ademas de un creador fue tambien un exitoso y versatil empresario de la moda y de sus alrededores, amigo de pintoresRaoul Dufy o Derain, de escritoresColette o Jean Cocteau, actor ocasional y autor de varios libros de moda, cocina o autobiograficos. Aparte de ser el rumboso patrocinador de las mas lujosas y exclusivas fiestas del Paris de entreguerras, lo que al parecer le llevo al desastre y a la ruina en 1929, justo unos meses antes de publicar En habillant lepoque (1930). El antiguo triunfador Paul Poiret murio pobre y olvidado, de forma inadvertida, el 30 de abril de 1944; corrian los ultimos dias de la ocupacion nazi de Francia. En 2007 el Metropolitan Museum of Art de Nueva York le dedico una magna exposicion. A.L.Paul Poiret (Paris, 1879-1944), conocido como El rey de l...

This collection brings together a series of in-depth profiles of leading fashion designers written between 1996 and 2001 by the fashion editor Susannah Frankel. Originally featured in "The Independent", "The Guardian" and "Dazed and Confused", these interviews cover the work of the most influential designers of the 1990s, including successful British designers: Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith and Hussein Chalayan - as well as big international names from Japan, Italy, France and the USA: Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, Tom Ford, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce and Gabbana, Donatella Versace, Sonia Rykiel and more. The interviews provide an insight into the designers'' lives, comprehensive biographical detail and in-depth analysis into the way they think and work as well as documenting the cultural climate at the time. The book is illustrated with portraits and shoots by some of the best fashion photographers - both more established and up-and-coming - working today, among them Robert Wyatt, Juergen Teller, Donald Christie, Julie Sleaford, Mark Aleski, Justin Smith and Jane McLeish.

In her first book, Frankel presents a fashion-first look at the world, giving readers at least a decade of new material. This collection of her interviews with fashion designers, previously published in journals such as the Independent and Dazed & Confused, offers a closer, more penetrating look into some of the world''s most intriguing designers. Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and John-Paul Gaultier are some of the designers showcased, alongside images of their clothes. The reproductions of the work that originally ran with each piece are enticing eye candy, sweetening the illuminating and juicy revelations printed in the accompanying interviews. The interviews, which took place between 1997 and April 2001, seem to preserve each designer''s pre-glory moments in time while presenting other designers'' careers as the standard by which all success is measured. Although thorough in her coverage, Frankel does leave out prominent designers in America and Europe to include lesser-knowns from Britain. Radical Fashion offers a short list of designers who innovate on the avant-garde of design. Since the honor of inclusion is bestowed upon only the most eccentric of the London/Milan/Paris set, the book seems a bit more elitist than Visionaries, excluding progressive designers such as Galliano, Gianni Versace, and Viktor & Rolf. The text offers a more academic glimpse of fashion and its extreme, with articles centered on one main concept. For example, a discussion of haute couture leads to Azzedine Alaia and Gautier, whereas Helmut Lang''s vision is related to an essay about mixing art and fashion. The essays are extremely well researched as the authors, including Frankel, take on more complex concepts of design and also consider how fashion has altered in the face of modernity. The pictures included here are less glamorous and, on the whole, smaller, but they are useful reference points for the text. Both titles include notable quotes from each designer, highlighting their perspective on fashion. Radical Fashion is an excellent source for fashion theory, whereas Visionaries offers closer insight into the designers themselves. Rachel Collins, "Library Journal"

Basic semiotic theories are taught in most art schools as part of a contextual studies program but many students find it difficult to understand how these ideas might impact on their own practice Visible Signs tackles this problem by introducing key theories and concepts such as signs and signifiers and language and speech within the framework of visual communication Each chapter provides an overview of a particular facet of semiotic theory with inspiring examples from graphic design typography illustration advertising and art to illustrate the ideas discussed in the text Creative exercises at the end of the book will help exemplify these ideas through practical application The fourth edition of Visible Signs includes new imagery and updated exercises as well as coverage of propaganda diversity in neutral communication like emojis and issues related to social media representation
