Artwear: Fashion and Anti-Fashion
Melissa Leventon Manufacturer: Thames & Hudson ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0500285373 |
Book Description
A colorful survey of the often provocative and always highly creative relationship between art and fashion.A crocheted wool coat of exuberant textures and glowing colors, a dyed and pleated silk vest of baroque sensuousness, a headdress of ribbon intricately ruched in the shape of a leaping fish, an evening gown made from shredded dollar bills, a kimono that carries art appliquéd on its sleevethese are just a few of the beautiful, imaginative, even surreal works of wearable art included in this richly illustrated book, published to accompany an exhibition at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
Melissa Leventon shows that wearable art is the latest in the long line of aesthetic dress reforms that began with the Arts and Crafts movement. She then traces the history of this art form as it developed out of the hippie styles and studio fiber art of the 1960s and 1970s until today, highlighting many of the leading practitioners and discussing its characteristic forms and processes. The works brought together range from pieces that are only technically wearable to one-of-a-kind works that are at home either on one's back or on one's wall to limited-edition luxury clothing.
Artwear will be invaluable to fashion designers and students, art and textiles professionals, craftspeople, and anyone with an interest in the fashion world.
Featuring work by Yves Saint Laurent, Issey Miyake, Erté, K. Lee Manuel, Kansai Yamamoto, Ben Compton & Marian Clayden, Genevieve Dion, Ana Lisa Hedstrom, Janet Lipkin, Kaisik Wong, Friends of the Rag, and many others. 200 color illustrations.

An Enjoyable Trip to Grinder's Switch.......2000-06-20
Some of these zany stories may lose something without Miss Minnie's unique delivery, but even those that fall a little flat will still cause a chuckle, and none will offend.
Its hard to imagine the ribald monologues of Roseanne Barr or any of today's other so-called funnywomen living on the way Minnie Pearl's classy comedy has. Besides the good times these jokes will bring, they stand as the wholesome legacy of an admirable lady who respected both her fans and her integrity.

Some of these zany stories may lose something without Miss Minnie's unique delivery, but even those that fall a little flat will still cause a chuckle, and none will offend.
Its hard to imagine the ribald monologues of Roseanne Barr or any of today's other so-called funnywomen enduring the way Minnie Pearl's classy comedy has. Besides the good times these jokes will bring, they stand as the wholesome legacy of an admirable lady who respected both her fans and her integrity.
I thought this was a very excellent book !.......1999-10-09
Within a few pages, you easily recall ýHowdeeý and a grin.......1999-05-26
I really can't remember all the television shows I saw her on, but she was always the same and always entertaining. Reading the jokes and the stories from her co-stars for the Grand Ole Opry brought back good memories. I especially enjoyed the chapter "Tyin' Ourselves Up in Knots". The chapter "Take Two Lawyers and Call Me in the Mornin'" takes a shot at everyone and what profession would want to be left out of a Minnie Pearl joke book?
I would recommend this book to anyone who truly enjoys a good joke and likes to share it with others. To know who stole it the first time makes it even funnier!

Katharine Hepburn: A Stylish Life
Joal Ryan Manufacturer: St Martins Pr ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0312246498 |
Book Description
Katharine Hepburn: A Stylish Life, brimful of photographs, anecdotes, and on-screen memories, follows Hepburn's amazing seven-decade film and stage career. From early dramas such as Little Women and Stage Door to Philadelphia Story and comedy classics such as Bringing Up Baby and Holiday to later triumphs in A Lion in Winter and On Golden Pond, Hepburn exerted firm control over her career and image.In these pages, Hepburn also emerges as a woman who ended up defining her time by being ahead of it. Married young and divorced after five years, she was courted by some of the leading men of her day, including famed agent Leland Hayward and millionaire Howard Hughes. But it was on the set of Woman of the Year that she met her true love, the firmly married Spencer Tracy. Fiercely opposed in background, taste, and acting techniques, yet both strong-willed and eccentric by Hollywood standards, she and Tracy formed a remarkable team both on and off screen.
Hepburn's life, her loves, her family, her elegance, her vitality--they are all here, in beautiful black-and-white photographs and journalist Joal Ryan's biographical portrait.
