MARTIN MARGIELA
Collectif · 2018
Cet ouvrage est publié à l'occasion de l'exposition "Margiela/Galliera 1989-2009" présentée au Palais Galliera, musée de la Mode la Ville de Paris, du 3 mars au 15 juillet 2018. Martin Margiela: acteur majeur de la mode contemporaine. Diplômé de l'Académie royale des beaux-arts d'Anvers, section mode, seul créateur belge à s'installer à Paris. Première collection printemps-été 1989, dernière collection printemps-été 2009. Par désir d'anonymat et pour préserver sa vie privée, choisit de ne montrer que ses créations, griffées d'une étiquette vierge. Perçu comme "destroy", puis "minimaliste" et enfin "conceptuel", questionne le système de la mode, de sa conception à son usage, par sa ligne "artisanale" de vêtements récupérés et détournés, et par des présentations hors normes. Attiré par ce que la mode a toujours caché, érige doublures et étapes de fabrication au rang de vêtements. Goût marqué pour le passage du temps et les différences d'échelle à l'origine de collections de référence: reproductions à l'identique de pièces anciennes, garde-robe de poupée agrandie à taille humaine et modèles XXXXL. L'ouvrage: par Martin Margiela et le Palais Galliera. Présente son parcours créatif, de la première à la dernière collection. Chronique à la fois complète et personnelle de l'influence de ce créateur sur l'histoire de la mode.

Dressed
Shahidha Bari · 2020
Perfect for readers of Women in Clothes, this beautifully designed philosophical guide to fashion explores art, literature, and film to uncover the hidden meaning of a well-chosen wardrobe. We all get dressed. But how often do we pause to think about what our clothes say? When we dress ourselves, we are presenting to the world an essence of who we are, who we want to be. Dressed ranges freely from suits to suitcases, from Marx's coat to Madame X's gown. Through art and literature, film and philosophy, philosopher Shahidha Bari unveils the surprising personal implications of what we choose to wear. The impeccable cut of Cary Grant's suit projects masculine confidence, just as Madonna's oversized denim jacket and her armful of orange bangles loudly announces big ambition. How others dress tells us something fundamental about them -- we can better understand how people live and what they think through their garments. Clothes tell our stories. Dressed is the thinking person's fashion book. In baring the hidden power of clothes in our culture and our daily lives, Bari reveals how our outfits not only cover our bodies but also reflect our minds.
