Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll Pdf

The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day. Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There was first published in December 1871 (dated 1872). Although Carroll intended Looking-Glass to be a follow-up piece to the immediately successful Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), he created an entirely new fantasy world with a revised narrative structure. The twelve-chapter format was retained, but Looking-Glass is significantly longer than Wonderland (224 compared to 192 pages in the first editions), and introduces a range of new characters, and is framed by Alice's progression across a chess board to become queen. This new edition focuses solely on Through the Looking-Glass, with a penetrating and informative introduction by Zoe Jaques, including the most recent research and critical opinion on the subject matter.

Fashioning Identity by Maria Mackinney-Valentin Pdf

We dress to communicate who we are, or who we would like others to think we are, telling seductive fashion narratives through our adornment. Yet, today, fashion has been democratized through high-low collaborations, social media and real-time fashion mediation, complicating the basic dynamic of identity displays, and creating tension between personal statements and social performances. Fashioning Identity explores how this tension is performed through fashion production and consumption,by examining a diverse series of case studies - from ninety-year old fashion icons to the paradoxical rebellion in 'normcore', and from soccer jerseys in Kenya to heavy metal band T-shirts in Europe. Through these cases, the role of time, gender, age memory, novelty, copying, the body and resistance are considered within the context of the contemporary fashion scene. Offering a fresh approach to the subject by readdressing Fred Davis' seminal concept of 'identity ambivalence' in Fashion, Culture and Identity (1992), Mackinney-Valentin argues that we are in an epoch of 'status ambivalence', in which fashioning one's own identity has become increasingly complicated.

HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY FASHION by Elizabeth Ewing,Alice Mackrell Pdf

The first edition of this book established itself as required reading for all those interested in the development of the fashion business. There are other books on contemporary dress, but this account gives particular weight to the commercial organization of the industry; from designer and textile manufacturer right through to the consumer. This completely revised edition brings the story up to the 1990s with new text, 280 illustrations and 16 color plates. Fashion in this century has ceased to be the private domain of the wealthy. The era when such names as Worth, Paquin and Sciaparelli could dominate has given way to one where style and 'look' can be taken from a host of various sources: designers and manufacturers, department and chain stores, the boutiques or the streets. This established reference work looks behind the scenes for an understanding of the social, economic and technical changes that have caused this revolution. It is a story of fashion shocks: two world wars, the impact of new fibers and manufacturing techniques, and the succession of youth explosions: mini-skirts, punk and sportswear. The narrative is based on research into the history of couture houses, retailers and manufacturers and the authors' experience and contact with the fashion business.

Engaging with Fashion by Federica Carlotto,Natalie McCreesh Pdf

This book is a modern exploration of how we engage with fashion today. Through a series of articles this book shows the ‘ways’ through which we can approach fashion. The articles are organized around the following six sections: marketing, consuming, educating, communicating, embodying and positioning - each with a mix of research approaches and strategies. From sustainability and consumerism to street-style and street-food. From how fashion is taught across the globe to how fashion is communicated through photography and the media.

Fashion Is Spinach by Elizabeth Hawes Pdf

After working as a stylist in Paris, Elizabeth Hawes (1903–71) launched one of the first American design houses in Depression-era New York. Hawes was an outspoken critic of the fashion industry and a champion of ready-to-wear styles. Fashion Is Spinach, her witty and astute memoir, offers an insider's critique of the fashion scene during the 1920s and '30s. "I don't know when the word fashion came into being, but it was an evil day," Hawes declares. Style, she maintains, reflects an era's mood, altering only with changes in attitude and taste. Fashion, conversely, exists only to perpetuate sales. Hawes denounces the industry's predatory practices, advising readers to reject ever-changing fads in favor of comfortable, durable, flattering attire. Decades ahead of her time, she offers a fascinating and tartly observed behind-the-scenes look at the fashion industry's economics, culture, and ethics.

Madison Avenue, Magic Promenade by Alice Schweitzer Pdf

ANNOUNCING “MADISON AVENUE MAGIC PROMENADE,” A MEMOIR BY INFLUENTIAL BUSINESSWOMAN AND FASHION DESIGNER ALICE SCHWEITZER *** The glamour of haute couture, the thrill of international travel and the remarkable achievements of an unflappable businesswoman and humanitarian come to life in “Madison Avenue Magic Promenade,” a memoir by award-winning fashion designer Alice Schweitzer. Now age 87, the French–born Ms. Schweitzer spent years chronicling a life spent in Europe, Africa and America. A gifted fashion designer with a head for business, Ms. Schweitzer tells how she became the first woman to open a clothing boutique on New York City’s Madison Avenue. She also instituted the Madison Avenue Promenade, an annual outdoor public fashion show that helped seal the fate of Madison Avenue as New York’s premiere fashion center. New York’s Mayor Lindsay honored Ms. Schweitzer for her contributions to the city, and the French Embassy Commerce Department gave her a medal for her role in bringing haute couture to America. Fashion designers Vittorio Missoni and Valentino, as well as hair designer Vidal Sassoon were among her friends and professional admirers. Facing countless personal and societal obstacles, Ms. Schweitzer triumphed as an influential fashion designer and independent businesswoman. She ran boutiques in Manhattan and Beverly Hills from the 1950s through the 1970s, and regularly received attention from celebrities and the press. At the same time, she pursued her humanitarian ideals and used her influence to actively campaign against hunger in Africa. “Madison Avenue Magic Promenade” is a touching and inspiring story of one woman’s creativity, intelligence and passion. Originally written for her family, Ms. Schweitzer's memoir provides a personal look at a remarkable life. The book is a compelling autobiography, and confirms Ms. Schweitzer’s prominent place in the history of American fashion.
