LAYZELL ALISTAIR EDITOR
Vernier: Fashion Femininity And Form
Hirmer Verlag Munchen: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Eugene 'Gene' Vernier 1920-2011 worked as a fashion photographer for British Vogue from 1954 to 1967 during one of the most exciting periods in fashion history. Shooting of-the-moment looks from the likes of Christian Dior and Emilio Pucci and top models including Celia Hammond Jean Shrimpton and current Vogue creative director Grace Coddington Vernier worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. Yet he was relatively unconcerned with celebrity. Interested only in bringing out the very best in each frame Vernier was a true craftsman in the fashion photography trade. Featuring more than one hundred of Vernier's own favorite photographs drawn from Vogue's extensive photo archive this lavishly illustrated volume reveals remarkable innovation in the use of props backdrops and location. Whether he was photographing his subjects by the sea with a canine companion or perfectly positioned atop a pale pink convertible Vernier's careful composition enhanced the essence of his subject. Vernier shot mostly in black-and-white and his trademark "look" is one of classic femininity. He sought to capture models when they were relaxed enjoying the clothing and confident that their photographer would show both only at their best. Providing commentary on the photographs are fashion history expert Becky E. Conekin and Vogue historian Robin Muir. This is first book to focus on Vernier's work at Vogue and it allows readers a rare glimpse of his inimitable blend of technical excellence and an eye for experimentation. Contents Introduction Alistair C. Layzell Vernier: A photographer's place in Vogue history Robin Muir Taking Off: London Fashion changes charted by Eug�ne Vernier Becky E.

DAVIS FRED
Fashion Culture And Identity
The University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 1991. Softcover. Brand new book. What do our clothes say about who we are or who we think we are How does the way we dress communicate messages about our identity Is the desire to be "in fashion" universal or is it unique to Western culture How do fashions change These are just a few of the intriguing questions Fred Davis sets out to answer in this provocative look at what we do with our clothes�and what they can do to us. Much of what we assume to be individual preference Davis shows really reflects deeper social and cultural forces. Ours is an ambivalent social world characterized by tensions over gender roles social status and the expression of sexuality. Predicting what people will wear becomes a risky gamble when the link between private self and public persona can be so unstable. Includes an Index. "Fashion Culture and Identity is provocative and intelligent. While many writers on fashion suggest that clothing represents a set of symbols like a language Davis claims that the role of clothing is far more complex. This argument and his elegant writing make this a book worth reading." - Gary Alan Fine Department of Sociology University of Georgia The University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London: 1991 hardcover

NAFTALIEVA NATALIA
Natalia Naftalieva: The Series Of Collections Of Avant Garde Fashion
Softcover. Very good condition. In the beginning of the 20th century Russian painter Kazimir Malevich in his total abstraction from reality revealed the essence of cosmist pathos and laid the foundations for new visual language. Further realization of possibilities this language brings allowed young artists of the 21st century to reconsider the artistic form even in such traditional and anthropomorphically fixed form of art as fashion modeling. Therefore in her strikingly unique collection of avant-garde fashion Natalia Naftalieva shows the origins of Russian avant-garde. We see the "red-colored blob of hemoglobuline" in her work entitled "Capillary" as clearly as icon-setting and white snows in other works "The Universe" and "Russia". Multi Lingual Text. paperback
