Tartan + Tweed by Caroline Young,Ann Martin Pdf

Tartan and Tweed is a comprehensive look at the chequered history of tartan and tweed from their origins in the Scottish Highlands to their reinvention, growing and continued popularity and use in contemporary fashion design, music, art and film. Both tweed and tartan are fabrics with a strong cultural identity and history. But they have been reinvented to create multiple meanings, particularly when used in street fashions and in haute couture to mimic or parody the aristocracy, and to act as a subversive symbol of rebellion. This lavishly illustrated book focuses on fashion over the last century whilst looking back at the journey these fabrics have made from traditional cloth to stylish fabrics. We follow the early popularity of tartan and tweed including the fabrics' connections from crofters and clans to aristocracy, and look at tweed's dramatic recovery during an economic crisis and its subsequent re-invention as desirable luxury fashion fabric. The book explores the use of tartan and tweed in fashion in the collections of leading designers including Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Chanel who have used these textiles in a fresh, subversive way, while also paying tribute to their history. Making use of first person sources, historic documents, paintings and fashion photographs, this is a complete overview of tartan and tweed in Scotland and beyond.

Tweed by Fiona Anderson Pdf

The story of tweed is tied to a series of social, economic and cultural shifts that have molded its development. This book considers the historical factors that helped to shape the design characteristics and social meanings of the group of fabrics that we call tweed, from their emergence in the 1820s to the present day. Including significant new research on tweeds, from Harris Tweed to the type used by Chanel, this book follows the history of these fabrics from the raw fiber to the finished garment in men's and women's fashion. Exploring rural and urban contexts, this book reveals the important physical and conceptual relationships of tweed with landscape. Anderson shows that, contrary to their strong popular associations with tradition, tweeds emerged in the Romantic era as a response to the dramatic changes associated with industrialization and urbanization. Progressive changes in gender relations are also explored as a major factor in tweed's evolution, from associations with particular ideals of masculinity into what is now a truly adaptable fashion textile worn by both sexes. This is the first book of its kind to recognize the importance of tweed to fashion innovation today.

White Dove School of Conduct by Stephen Che Chillun Pdf

This children's book mixes fact with fiction, offering a combination of learning and escapism, whilst focusing on the wellbeing and feel good factor for children. It covers the consequences of our behaviour. No matter how troublesome we may have been, we're still able to change for the better. From across the land the most troublesome boys and girls are sent to White Dove School of Conduct. A school nested nicely between nowhere and somewhere on the outskirts of the little known country of Darkshire. The school is a place where those children who have been rejected are accepted and offered one last chance. Each arrives transformed into a different animal - from a penguin to an elephant, or even a snake. For newly arrived Charlie Dee, it is all too much. Not only does he find himself at a school that is more like a zoo, with historical and mythological figures for teachers, but he must also come to terms with being a pangolin, and though it is natural for a pangolin to eat termites, it is not acceptable when that termite happens to be one of your classmates!
