Rutgers University Press All for Beauty: Makeup and Hairdressing in
Book SynopsisEver wonder why so many stars and featured players, male or female, in movies of Hollywood’s “Golden Age” look like they just stepped out of a beauty parlor even if the story places them in a jungle, a hospital bed, or the ancient past? All for Beauty examines how and why makeup and hairdressing evolved as crafts designed partly to maintain the white flawlessness of men and women as a value in the studio era. The book pays particular attention to the labor force, exploring the power and influence of cosmetics inventor and manufacturer Max Factor and the Westmore dynasty of makeup artists but also the contributions of others, many of them women, whose names are far less known. At the end of the complex, exciting, and at times dismaying chronicle, it is likely that readers will never again watch Hollywood films without thinking about the roles of makeup and hairdressing in creating both fictional characters and stars as emblems of an idealized and undeniably mesmerizing visual perfection.Trade Review"Adrienne McLean’s engaging All for Beauty gives us a peek under the powder, lipstick, beard, and toupee, to examine the craft and labor politics of makeup and hairdressing in the studio era. This impeccably researched and argued book is a must read for anyone interested in the Hollywood studio system, film acting, stardom, or beauty culture!" -- Mary Desjardins * author of Recycled Stars: Female Film Stardom in the Age of Television and Video *“McLean combines extensive research, keen insight, detailed analysis of stars and films, and an enjoyable way with words to give readers an important overview of the history, politics, and aesthetics of 'beauty makeup' during the glory days of Hollywood cinema.

Blume 100 Ideas Que Cambiaron La Moda Urbana
Book SynopsisUn análisis en profundidad de las ideas clave que cambiaron la forma de vestir, desde mediados del siglo xx hasta hoy, acompañado de un estudio de las prendas de ropa más emblemáticas, cómo se llevaron, qué surgió de ellas, su trasfondo cultural, su acogida entre el público y su influencia en la moda actual. El armario moderno debe su desarrollo no solo a los diseñadores de París o de Milán, sino también a los grupos y a los movimientos que existen gracias a una apreciación compartida de la música, el deporte, a una cultura en concreto o a un determinado estilo que define una pertenencia. Estos estilos han cambiado la normativa establecida, han creado estereotipos, han conseguido expresar división social al tiempo que han unido a las personas, han comunicado, se han expandido por todo el mundo y, sobre todo, han transformado la forma de vestir de un amplio público. El concepto de moda urbana, lejos de quedar atrás, probablemente es más actual que nunca. Antaño, la expresión hacía referencia a las modas populares no dictadas por las pasarelas, una forma de vestir que expresaba la personalidad de aquellos a quienes la sociedad no consideraba modernos, sino algo mejor, con estilo. Hoy, se ha extendido la idea de que el verdadero estilo es el que se encuentra a pie de calle: las pasarelas se inspiran en él y lo reinventan en una versión más glamurosa. Dados los profundos cambios sociales y tecnológicos de inicios del siglo xxi, la proliferación de la moda urbana y la moda destinada al mercado de masas solo puede ir en aumento. Internet y la omnipresente fotografía digital hacen posible mostrar rápidamente a todo el mundo estilos que antes eran muy reducidos, locales y casi de culto. Además, desde el punto de vista tecnológico, la agilidad del muestreo, la rapidez de los sistemas de producción y la mano de obra barata permiten a las marcas del mercado de masas imitar la prenda más actual y extenderla por el mundo en cuestión de días. Así, las tendencias se desarrollan, expanden, culminan y desaparecen más rápido que nunca en la historia del sector.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Protecting Creativity in Fashion Design
Book SynopsisExploring the debate over the benefits of legal protection for fashion design, this book focuses on how a combination of minimal legal protections for design, evolving social norms, digital technology, and market forces can promote innovation and creativity in a business known for its fast-paced remixing and borrowing. Focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of the main US and EU IP laws that protect fashion design in the world's biggest fashion markets, it describes how recent US case law in copyright and trademark cases has led to misaligned incentives for the industry and a lack of clear protection, while, in the EU, the CJEU's interpretation of the pan-European design rights system has created significant overlap with copyright law and risks, leading to the overprotection of design. The book proposes that creativity and innovation in fashion derive some benefit from a limited unregistered design right protection, and that cumulation with copyright protection is unhelpful.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Foundations of Flat Patterning and Draping
Book SynopsisFoundations of Flat Patterning and Draping: For the Female Form provides the foundational tools necessary for success in the techniques of flat patterning and draping clothes and costumes.This book begins with the basics of taking measurements, preparing the fabric for draping, and preparing the dress form. The following chapters explore flat patterning and draping practices for bodices, skirts, pants, dresses, sleeves, collars, cuffs, and facings through detailed step-by-step instructions, checklists, and numerous diagrams. The bodice drafting instructions in this book, specifically, are a new method that accommodates all bust and cup sizes. There are instructions for small and large cup sizes allowing for a fit that does not gap at the armscye as typically happens with previous patterning methods, and additional sections for bodices and sleeves and how to manipulate them to create alternate looks. The techniques in this book generalize across sizes and shapes making it universally applicable for the student technician, as well as the person the garment is being developed for. Each method of drafting and draping has been class-tested and proven to produce well-fitting garments.Presented in an accessible format with clear instructions and detailed illustrations, this book is well suited for use as a textbook for the undergraduate college instructor teaching costuming or fashion, as well as for the student or individual learning on their own in theatre, film, or fashion industries.Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Communicating Fashion Brands

Enabling readers to connect the tools and techniques of communication with their theoretical underpinnings and historical antecedents, the book shows how these methods can be applied in practice.

The book presents insights and strategies for communicating authentic values, conveying a clearly defined aesthetic and visual language and generating shareable content that resonates with audiences. With insights into strategies used by brands including Burberry, Gucci, Dior, COS, Rapha, Warby Parker and Maryam Nassir Zadeh, each chapter outlines ways of maintaining relevant and consistent brand narTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ageing and Youth Cultures: Music, Style and
Book SynopsisWhat happens to punks, clubbers, goths, riot grrls, soulies, break-dancers and queer scene participants as they become older? For decades, research on spectacular 'youth cultures' has understood such groups as adolescent phenomena and assumed that involvement ceases with the onset of adulthood. In an age of increasingly complex life trajectories, Ageing and Youth Cultures is the first anthology to challenge such thinking by examining the lives of those who continue to participate into adulthood and middle-age. Showcasing a range of original research case studies from across the globe, the chapters explore how participants reconcile their continuing involvement with ageing bodies, older identities and adult responsibilities. Breaking new ground and establishing a new field of study, the book will be essential reading for students and scholars researching or studying questions of youth, fashion, popular music and identity across a wide range of disciplines.Trade Review"This book brings forth some new avenues for studying youth cultures (and subcultures) within emerging fields such as Postyouth Studies, Dance Studies, and other original intersections. Graduate students studying popular music, cultural studies, sociology, and youth studies will appreciate its questionings and conceptualisation about the practices and the (sometimes unusual) representations of age and ageing persons, mostly from the ‘‘X’’ Generation, in various contexts. - International Journal of Ageing and Later Life - Yves Laberge The book sets the tone for an emerging social system, distinctive in its acceptance and re-accommodating of age within youth culture, and provides a framework for further research - Anthropological Notebooks - David Lorbiecke, Tallinn University, Estonia Summing Up: Recommended.

Cambridge University Press Wearing Their Faith
Book SynopsisNew Religious Movements (NRMs) have a long, interconnected history with distinct forms of dress and clothing. However, research on NRMs has not focused sufficiently on the clothing and material culture of these groups. In response, this Element examines the central role that dress plays in the creation of charismatic leaders and the formation of faithful followers. Through a variety of case studies ? ranging from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to Father Divine, from the Children of God to the Nation of Islam ? we see how dress and fashion practices provide people with a powerful way to live and wear their faith. In addition, the fashion industry takes note and incorporates ideas about cults and clothing into their trends and styles. In doing so, it fuels the cult stereotype and fosters normative understandings of what constitutes good religion.

Cambridge University Press Exquisite Slaves
Book SynopsisExquisite Slavesexamines how slaves in Lima, Peru used elegant clothing to express attitudes about gender and status. Drawing on a diverse range of sources and analyses, Walker demonstrates that in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Lima clothing signified both the reach and limits of slaveholders' power and racial domination.Trade Review'Exquisite Slaves represents a unique and distinctive contribution to the history of racial formation in Spanish America which will command the attention of the scholarly community. This book considerably deepens our understanding of colonial racial formation.' Herman Bennett, City University of New York'Walker's invigorating analysis of enslaved and freed cultural agency is a welcome contribution to the history of slavery. Her unique focus on manners of dress and gendered public presentation underlines how slavery was rooted not just in daily events, but in intimate senses of self and others. Informed by an Atlantic vision, Walker's close reading of imagery and text charts a new path for how to write a history of the African Diaspora in Latin America.' Rachel Sarah O'Toole, University of California, Irvine'… Walker's book provides a novel account on the contradictory dressing practices of people of colour in colonial Lima as a tool that both submitted them to the colonial regime and allowed them to challenge the norms … the book is an important approximation for the advancement of fashion studies and dress history in Latin America.' Laura Beltran-Rubio, The Journal of Dress History'Students and experts interested in the African diaspora, material culture, racial identity, the formation of Blackness, and gender will surely benefit from this book.' Erika Denise Edwards, Hispanic American Historical ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Slavery and the aesthetic of mastery; 2. Legal status, gender, and self-fashioning; 3.
