21 | TWENTY ONE showcases designers living and working in Britain who have come to prominence since the millennium.

They lead public taste and critical debate; they are the innovators and the explorers of new materials or processes; they are establishing new ways of working, and redefining what that work might be. Combining interviews with commentary and evaluation, Gareth Williams examines what design means and has meant to Britain and British identity, looking at the roles of government, museums, galleries, studios, the public, and the designers.

Designers include El Ultimo Grito, Industrial Facility, Jaime Hayon, Troika and rAndom International, who have worked for brands such as British Airways, Camper, Droog, Muji, The Science Museum and MoMA.

Globalization in the fashion world has taken many forms. An increasing number of the world's fashion dynasties outsource their finishing work, and many of them are turning to the embroidery artisans of Mumbai.

The embroidery of India traces its history to the region's Mogul emperors of the twelfth century. These days much of the handiwork is done in clean, well-lit studios in Mumbai, usually by men from villages outside the large city. Aurore Belkin's thoughtful photographs of these workers depict their daily labors and the careful work that has gone into each piece. A large section of close-up photographs examines the intricate details of the embroidery.

The book rounds off with a section on how the handiwork is incorporated into the latest fashion designs.

Through this book, readers are introduced to an art form that is centuries old, but adapting itself to twenty-first-century realities.

Reproduced from a rare turn-of-the-century German catalog, these royalty-free frames, headpieces, tailpieces, title pages, spot art, scrollwork, and other ornamental motifs include bold Art Nouveau designs along with a wealth of detailed, evocative images of couples dancing, placid landscapes, sailing ships, fairies and elves, beautiful young ladies, floral borders, and much more.
