Hanae Mori
Kodansha USA Inc, 2001
Since her first smash-hit fashion show in New York's Hotel Delmico thirty-five years ago, designer Hanae Mori has gone from strength to strength, establishing herself as the preeminent Japanese couturiere of the modern period.As Stanley Marcus (former chairman of Neiman Marcus) said: "Her clothes were international silhouette.... Her Oriental color palette, her masterful handling of diaphanous fabrics like chiffon, which she floated over hand-painted and beaded foundations, gave a sense of security to the social leaders who adopted her clothes.... Thanks to Hanae Mori, the prevailing concept that 'made in Japan' meant cheap, poor quality goods was forever destroyed!" Her trademark was the butterfly and, like a butterfly, her career has been restless: never confining herself just to the glitz of seasonal shows in Paris, London, Milan, Munich and New York, she has designed for the ballet (Nureyev's "Cinderella"), the movies, theater, and opera (appropriately, "Madam Butterfly"), and has also created shoe, umbrella, apron, and lacquerware designs.

Liberty of London: Masters of Style & Decoration

Stephen Calloway
Bulfinch Press, 1992
For more than one hundred years the name Liberty of London has been synonymous with the highest achievements in the decorative arts - from fabric to furniture, from carpets to ceramics. A great trading company is always affected by changes in fashion; what gives this one its remarkable distinction is that it has not just followed these changes but helped to create them since 1875. Arthur Lasenby Liberty, its founder, set out to transform the dress and interior decoration of his day; that sense of excitement and innovation has remained integral to his company to this day and continues to appeal to a wide international clientele, making Liberty one of the few names in retailing known worldwide. "This full account of Liberty's accomplishments in the applied arts is therefore also a central history of design over the past century. Organized chronologically and profusely illustrated, it begins with Arthur Liberty's early emporium, selling oriental textiles and imported furnishings, then covers the Aesthetic movement, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, the decorative twenties and thirties, and the revivalism of the fifties and sixties. It ends with a survey of Liberty's current exploration of international modern design. Each section is written by an expert on the relevant period." "The Arts and Crafts movement found Liberty fully established and pursuing the enlightened commissioning that associated the shop with leading craftsmen and designers. After the First World War textiles ...

Pièce Détachée, 2019
Pièce détachée est une revue culturelle consacrée au vêtement. Monothématique, elle met à l'honneur un vêtement (ou, par extension, un accessoire) par numéro à travers des articles relevant de champs divers (société mode histoire art & littérature culture pop), des nouvelles, des entretiens et des reportages. Elle donne ainsi la voix à des chercheur·euse·s mais également des écrivain·e·s, des bloggeur·euse·s et autres acteur·trice·s de la mode. À rebours de la presse dite « féminine », Pièce détachée se veut non genrée et intéressera aussi bien les hommes que les femmes. Intemporelle, elle ne traite pas de lactualité de la mode et peut donc, comme un livre, aussi bien se dévorer que se lire parcimonieusement, se garder précieusement et se chérir ! Après la robe, Pièce détachée s'attaque au pantalon. Des sans-culottes à Lady Oscar, en passant par Yves Saint Laurent et le hip-hop, ce numéro vous dira tout sur cette pièce devenue mixte, mais indissociable de l'histoire de l'émancipation des femmes.

Tamy Tazi has set her own special mark of distinction on contemporary Moroccan dress: ceremonial or everyday caftans, djellabas, selhams (capes), jackets and serouals Her models embrace two remarkable traditions that both resist the pressures of time. One is the Haute Couture that has long been Tamy Tazis daily bread as Yves Saint-Laurents representative in Morocco. The other is the Moroccan heritage, but not that growing out of the early days Moroccan independence with its glimmers of womens emancipation. Tazi has researched a deeper, more singular tradition, stripping it of folksiness and revitalising it. The union of these two vital sources, each inseminating the other with a grammar that is as articulate as it is festive, has generated a new style in caftans that daringly distinguish themselves from either parent. This book will not only appeal to caftan fans, but to anyone with interest in Morocco culture and fashion.
