BIALOBOS, PHILIPPE & STEELE, VALERIE

Messengers style

Assouline, 2000. Paperback. Pp: 100. Messengers: fast, furious, athletic, stylish. Whether weaving through city traffic at breakneck speed or hanging out on the sidewalk, today's bike messengers are the ultimate in urban style. Because of their trend-setting influence in such areas as attitude, music, and sports, this book is a statement on the driving engine of a high-energy city. Here, for the first time, New York City bikers are taken off the street and into the studio. Bialobos has shot a series of rhythmic, colorful portraits which perfectly frame the messengers' offbeat appearances and transfixing physical presences. The images are accompanied by various poems written by messengers hailing from across the country. ISBN: 9782843232107. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

China chic. East meets West

Yale University Press, 1999. Pp: 197. Fashion today is increasingly international & multicultural, & many designers are turning to Chinese clothing & decorative motifs for inspiration. Yet few people - western or Chinese - understand the historic significance of Chinese clothing. China Chic is the first book to explore the evolution of Chinese dress, from the dragon robes & lotus shoes of the imperial era to the creation of new fashions like the cheongsam & the "Mao suit" that symbolized modern Chinese identity. For China specialists, the focus on fashion will open up an entirely new way of thinking about modern Chinese culture & society. For readers whose primary interest is fashion, China Chic demolishes the Eurocentric myth of an ancient, unchanging mode of dress. China Chic features a narrative & interpretive text by Valerie Steele & John S. Major, supplemented by six more specialized essays by some of the world's foremost scholars of Chinese dress. The book also features a wide range of well-chosen illustrations, including some that have never before been published. The book is published to coincide with the opening of an exhibition at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. ISBN: 9780300079302. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
