Fashion Reimagined: Themes and Variations 1700-Now

di Annie Carlano (Autore)

D Giles Ltd, 2022

Fashion Reimagined features 50 outstanding examples of fashionable dress drawn entirely from the outstanding collection of the Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC, including men's and women's fashions from 1760 to 2022. The book is divided into three sections that reflect three aspects of historicism: Minimalism, Pattern and Decoration, and The Body Reimagined. Each catalogue entry addresses a theme and provides information and insights about the individual designers, fabric and construction details, and globalization that is embedded in both the textiles and fashions 1760 to the present. Ranging from court suits to street wear, highlights include an English 18th-century sack back dress, two English men's court suits, early 19th-century printed cotton dresses, wedding dresses from the mid and last quarter of the 19th century, as well as a rare 1920s wedding ensemble by Roman fashion artist Maria Monaci Gallenga, a very rare early 20th-century Ispahan mantle by Paul Poiret, an unusual mid twentieth century Black Narcissus dress by American designer James Galanos, several examples of 1960s and 70s mod and hippie chic style, and innovative contemporary fashions by Giorgio Armani, Romeo Gigli, Zandra Rhodes, Anna Sui, Yoji Yamamoto, Wale Oyejide for Ikire Jones, Anamika Khanna, and Iris van Herpen, among others.
