Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Dress and Identity in America
Book SynopsisDress and Identity in America is an examination of the conservatism and materialism that swept across the country in the late 1940s through the 1950sa backlash to the wartime tumult, privations, and social upheavals of the Second World War. The study looks at how American men sought to recapture a masculine identity from a generation earlier, that of the stoic patriarch, breadwinner, and dutiful father, and in the process, became the men in the gray flannel suits who were complacently conventional and conformist. Parallel to that is a look at how American women, who had donned pants and went to work in wartime munitions factories or joined services like the WACS and WAVES, were now expected to stay at home as housewives and mothers, dressed in cinched, ultrafeminine New Look fashions. As the Space Age dawned, their baby boom children rejected the conventions of their elders and experimented with their own ideas of identity and dress in an emerging era of counterculture revolutions.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) DIGITAL TEXTILE PRINTING
Book SynopsisThe development of digital textile printing at the end of the twentieth century has had a profound effect on the design, creation, use and understanding of textiles. This new technology - combined with advances in fabric and dye chemistry - has made it possible to produce complex images on fabric comprising millions of colours, quickly, inexpensively and in flexible quantities; a revolution that has led to a rapid increase in demand, which is predicted to rise still further.This book is the first to describe the historical and cultural context from which digital textile printing emerged, and to engage critically with the many issues that it raises: the changing role of the designer in the creation of printed textiles; the ways in which the design process is being transformed by new technology; the relationships between producers, clients and the textile industry; and the impact of digital printing on the wider creative industries. At the core of this study are two key questions: what cTrade ReviewAn in-depth exploration ... For anyone interested in the intellectual and historical associations that can be made between DTP and art practices throughout the ages, it introduces many interesting ideas. * Workshop on the Web *This book provides a welcome overview of digital textile printing, encompassing an insightful investigation of the history and theory of the subject, along with the practice and research it has engendered. A wide-ranging and engaging text that will be of interest to anyone with an interest in this area. * Hilary Carlisle, Dean of Arts and Design at Norwich University of the Arts, UK *Part philosophical inquiry, part case study, Susan Carden's Digital Textile Printing is an attempt to place this artistic process within a research framework while still providing practical instruction and history of technique… Carden describes the artists' and researchers' interests, research questions, and artistic explorations while also detailing their projects and processes… The thirteen page bibliography, listing technical works alongside books by authors ranging from Aristotle to Heidegger, McLuhan to Plato, is a snapshot of the variety of concepts. -- Amy Ballmer * Art Libraries Society of North America Reviews *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements Foreword 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Radical Decadence
Book SynopsisThis pioneering book explores the notion of ''radical decadence'' as concept, aesthetic and lived experience, and as an analytical framework for the study of contemporary feminist textile art. Gendered discourses of decadence that perpetuate anxieties about women''s power, consumption and pleasure are deconstructed through images of drug use, female sexuality and ''excessive'' living, in artworks by several contemporary textile artists including Orly Cogan, Tracey Emin, Allyson Mitchell, and Rozanne Hawksley.Perceptions of decadence are invariably bound to the negative connotations of decay and degradation, particularly with regard to the transgression of social norms related to femininity and the female body. Excessive consumption by women has historically been represented as grotesque, and until now, women''s pleasure in relation to drug and alcohol use has largely gone unexamined in feminist art history and craft studies. Here, representations of female consumption, from cupcakes toTrade ReviewRadical Decadence addresses decadence and excess, re-framing these as contemporary strategies of transgression and pleasure. In this well-illustrated book, Skelly draws on established and newly emerging artists working with cloth, porcelain and paint, demonstrating the inherent and delightful messiness of these media and their resistance to controlling systems. -- Catherine Dormor, Middlesex University, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction: Decadence, Feminism and “Excess” Chapter 1: Consuming Craft, Cupcakes and Cocaine: Orly Cogan, Shane Waltener and Shelley Miller Chapter 2: Pleasure Craft: Nava Lubelski, Mickalene Thomas and Shary Boyle Chapter 3: Bad Women?: Tracey Emin, Ghada Amer and Allyson Mitchell Chapter 4: “The Decaying Fabrics of Life and Death”: Rozanne Hawksley’s Textile Art Bibliography Index

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Advertising Menswear Masculinity and Fashion in the British Media since 1945 Dress and Fashion Research
Book SynopsisPaul Jobling is Researcher in Arts and Architecture, University of Brighton, UK. He is the author of Man Appeal (Berg, 2005).Trade ReviewFascinating as a study of changing attitudes and technologies over the second half of the 20th century ... The attempts of menswear advertisers to anticipate, respond to, and initiate changes from a postwar setting of mainly static images and relatively static mores to the unimaginably transformed, contemporary technologies and standards is chronicled in a straightforward and entertaining way ... The book deserves a broad audience. * CHOICE *Rooted in archival research and through rich illustrations and extensive appendices, Jobling has given us yet another piece of quality scholarship. This text will appeal to researchers interested in the representation of clothing and fashion, masculinities and ‘Britishness’, and to scholars of dress and fashion history, media culture, modern British history and transatlantic culture more generally. -- Mario J. Roman, London College of Fashion * Costume *Based on a detailed study of rich archival material, this pioneering study examines the production, circulation and consumption of print, television and cinema publicity for men's clothing in Britain during the second half of the twentieth century. * Costume Society of America *This book provides a well-structured analysis of advertising menswear in Britain, gauging the dynamics of war, class, race, gender, age and textile science that transformed the communication medium. A compilation of striking imagery, visual analysis, compelling discourse and chronology establishes this scholarship as a decisive resource informing the methodology of past and contemporary global menswear brands. -- Alphonso McClendon, Drexel University, USAPaul Jobling’s Advertising Menswear is that rare study that is able to combine distinctive close reading of individual cultural texts with expansive and thickly documented historical reconstruction.
