Experimental fashion has a dark side, a preoccupation with representations of death, trauma, alienation and decay. This seminal publication offers an unexpected discussion of cutting-edge fashion in the 1990s, exploring what its disturbing themes tell us about consumer culture and contemporary anxieties. Caroline Evans analyses the work of innovative designers, the images of fashion photographers and the spectacular fashion shows that developed in the final decade of the twentieth century to arrive at a new understanding of fashion’s dark side and what it signifies.

Fashion at the Edge considers a range of ground-breaking fashion in unprecedented depth and detail, including the work of such designers as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Viktor & Rolf, and photographers such as Steven Meisel, Nick Knight and Juergen Teller.

Drawing on diverse perspectives from Marx to Walter Benjamin, Evans shows that fashion stands at the very centre of the contemporary, and that it voices some of Western culture’s deepest concerns.

From the Introduction of Fashion Design: 

Fashion design is often a misunderstood discipline. The public perception of this field commonly focuses on extolling the instinctive creative abilities of genius designers, and intentionally minimizes the discussion of the diligent process that takes place behind the scenes. This book was developed specifically to guide the reader through this exciting, yet relatively obscure, subject.

Fashion designers at all levels of the industry face the challenging task of blending business and art toward the creation of relevant, commercially viable, and creatively exciting products every season. Additionally, all participants in the fashion industry, be they visual merchandisers, photographers, stylists, pattern-makers or buyers, benefit greatly from complete understanding of the creative process employed by designers. Fashion brands, after all, differentiate themselves primarily by how and why they create product, and by the artistic vision they offer, not simply by the items produced. To fully comprehend how fashion products are generated demands a thorough awareness of a multitude of sectors, which are best grouped in three main categories: context, concept, and presentation.

About the Author:

Denis Antoine is Professor of Fashion at Savannah College of Art and Design and co-author of Classic Tailoring Techniques for Menswear 2e, the authority on classic tailoring. He studied at London College of Fashion (BA Hons) and the Royal College of Art (MA RCA).

A fashion icon in her own right, Keaton amusingly revisits and reflects on some of her favorite and not-so-favorite fashion moments over the decades, from childhood homemade outfits to red carpet ensembles and street style experiments she tried from the 1960s until today.

Since she could remember, Keaton has been fascinated by clothing and style. As a little girl, she would pick out patterns and request that her mother make her custom outfits. This was the beginning of a love affair with clothes and looks, and sometimes, fashion. From the outset of her acting career in the 1970s, the legendary star has experimented and thought outside the lines of what a Hollywood icon should wear and still became lauded as a style icon by Vogue, W, The Hollywood Reporter, and countless fashion websites. Keaton’s style is at once timeless, experimental, bold, effortless, androgynous, quirky, and utterly and distinctly her own.

This is the celebrated film star’s ode to her unforgettable fashion moments examined through Keaton’s self-deprecating, charming voice, as she comments on her favorite looks and her biggest fashion faux pas. Images includes photos of a young Keaton sporting her mother’s homemade ensembles, stylish snapshots from the 1960s and iconic 1970s looks highlighting her signature Annie Hall style, red carpet moments, magazine editorials, street-style shots, and selfies from the 1980s until present day. Striking fashion photographs by renowned photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Ruven Afanador, and Ron Gallela are accompanied by anecdotes about Keaton’s inspiring style from her longtime friends, collaborators, and fashion designers, including Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kris Jenner, Nancy Myers, Blake Lively, and Thom Browne. Truly entertaining and stylish, this is the book fashion lovers and fans of the inimitable actor have been waiting for.

About the Authors:

Diane Keaton is an Oscar-winning actress, director, and author whose books with Rizzoli include California Romantica, House, The House That Pinterest Built, and Saved. Ralph Lauren is an American fashion designer, philanthropist, businessman, and four-time CFDA winner.

Fashion Illustration & Design reveals the technical essentials for understanding fashion figure drawingsfrom the professional point of view, as well as the materials and tools needed for each style and each drawing element.

The book covers all aspects of drawing figures for fashion, from the basic lines and the different types of figures to using color and recreating different fabrics, and it even reveals the secrets to designing and reproducing jewelry and accessories.

The groundbreaking images created in London’s celebrated commercial darkroom tell the fascinating story of one of the most productive, experimental, and colourful eras in fashion photography.

For more than 30 years, Brian Dowling’s studio was the birthplace of some of the most remarkable fashion photography ever created. In his Islington darkroom, using specialist analog equipment, Dowling shepherded amazing images from negative to paper captured by the likes of Anton Corbijn, Glen Luchford, and Nick Knight. Dowling’s BDI studio was also responsible for a number of technical innovations in colour photography, paving the way for many of today’s digital effects. 

This tribute to Dowling includes extensive interviews, commentary, testimonials from his clients, and numerous examples of iconic haute couture photographs that passed through his hands. In addition, a series of photographs specially commissioned for this volume demonstrate Dowling’s groundbreaking techniques: cross-processing, masking, filtering, layering light, and colour fades. 
Dowling’s hands-on achievements and alchemic talents are showcased in this beautiful ode to fashion photography.
