Figure 5.5 Gourmet food retailer Fauchon has a flagship store in Paris and extends its reach through branded concept shops in department stores, including Selfridges in London.
Personalized Service Limited-line department stores are renowned for their service, a benefit to which many customers can attest. A customer buying a St. John knit suit at Nordstrom can expect service that lasts for the life of the garment. She can bring the garment back for free alterations if her size changeswithin reason, of course!and if the customer does not live in the immediate area or does not wish to pick up her altered suit at the store, the goods are shipped to her home free of charge. Follow-up telephone calls by Nordstrom staff are personalized and welcome when impeccable services have been rendered. After learning more about the customers tastes, the sales associate will contact the customer when a new season starts or when there is a special sale. This is the essence of personalized service that never goes out of style. More department stores are considering the impact of high-level personal service as they plot future strategies. International Customer Focus Many stores have added multilingual signs in addition to bilingual associates; department stores around the globe attract a cross-section of foreign tourists and some experience greater ethnic diversity within their domestic markets. Stores in major cities already employ associates that collectively speak 50 different languages. Sales from international customers are significant. New York City hosted 9.7 million international visitors in 2010;20 overseas shoppers spent approximately $7.5 billion while visiting the city. Department stores will continue to face intense competition in a volatile economy. They will also contend with price adjustments, overdependence on promotion, and further consolidation within the industry. Despite the special problems they face, many will rise to the challenge admirably and continue to be recognized as truly exciting places to shop. Writer David Moin sums up the ideal department store: Whats the ultimate vision? Department stores as huge upscale carnivals with demonstrations, technology, interactive displays, parades, fashion shows, music, celebrities, and great restaurants. A little bit of what they have now, what they used to have, and more.21
Specialty Stores
Specialty stores may be as small as a single-unit sole proprietorship or as large as a several-thousand-unit corporate chain. In general, to be considered a chain, a company must operate more than ten stores. Specialists are known for being on top of trends, delivering excellent customer service, turning merchandise faster, and adapting to change more quickly than department stores. Single-unit boutiques and gift shops and other sole proprietorships also belong in this category. Exclusivity and originality pervade merchandise assortments of small and large specialty retailers, although operationally, they are run differently. 136

CHAPTER 2: VISUAL DISPLAY PRODUCTION
Applying the theory

One thing that it particular key in product handling are the methods used by old masters. We can analyse the paintings of historical artists and identify a considerable amount of dynamics which are very much relevant in the way we work today. Vertical lines Within visually merchandised spaces, vertical lines play an essentially part in drawing the customers eye around a space. Vertical lines are essentially straight lines which represent the shortest possible route between two points. Visual merchandising therefore should encourage the viewer to inspect the merchandise rhythmically up and down forcing them to open their eyes further and view more of the installation. Vertical lines can be interpreted as stabilising, however when vertical lines are positioned diagonal they become more active and energising. V shapes draw ones attention faster than other shapes and are commonly used to that effect.

Horizontal lines Horizontal lines used within a commercial space can be identified through the use of tables, shelves or fixtures. These add a sense of intrigue to the shopping experience as it relies on restricting the view of the product to the customer while enticing them to take a closer look. Equally, if we apply a more lateral approach to visual merchandising horizontal lines can be identified in such instances as reclining mannequins on a chaise-longue for example or stripes in vinyl placed on the fenestration. We can use both vertical and horizontal lines to frame a window or create a focus; horizontal lines can give a relaxing effect, drawing on natures horizon.

Dress, Law and Naked Truth

A Cultural Study of Fashion and Form
Gary Watt
Why are civil authorities in so-called liberal democracies affronted by public nudity and the Islamic full-face veil? Why is law and civil order so closely associated with robes, gowns, suits, wigs and uniforms? Why is law so concerned with the evident and the need for justice to be seen to be done? Why do we dress and obey dress codes at all? In this, the first ever study devoted to the many deep cultural connections between dress and law, the author addresses these questions and more. Engaging with sources from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare, Carlyle, Dickens and Damien Hirst, Watt draws a revealing history of dress and civil order and offers challenging conclusions about the nature of truth and the potential for individuals to fit within the forms of civil life. GARY WATT is Professor of Law at the University of Warwick, UK. He is a National Teaching Fellow and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK.

figure 8.8ab When a square is filled with vertical stripes it appears to be wider than it is long; when a square is filled with horizontal stripes it appears to be taller than it is wide. The same effect occurs when stripes are used as a pattern on a silhouette. Note that the dress with the vertical stripes appears to be wider, particularly through the hips.
figure 8.10a Marc Jacobs was one of many designers who used dots and discs for fall 2011. figure 8.10b Etro is known for its use of strong prints. This dress from the fall 2011 collection shows how important it is to maintain the integrity of large prints by not cutting them up with unnecessary seamlines.

colors (addition of gray) absorb light and tend to be more slimming, so wearing a darker shade of a warm color or a less-saturated version of a bright color that is in fashion may be more flattering on some figures. On the other hand, lighter colors are often more flattering to the face, hence collars are often white or a lighter color than the body of the garment. Color harmonies also affect how we perceive the figure. Monochromatic ensembles that are made up of a single color or shades of that color tend to be slimming because they create an illusion of height. When an ensemble consists of a top and bottom of different colors, that long line is broken up into two shorter shapes. Some customer groups are more sensitive to these nuances than others. Understanding how color affects the figure can help to provide options when selecting a color range for a particular silhouette or when determining how to best use color harmonies that are in fashion. Texture Texture is the term used to describe the surface or hand of a fabric and can be attributed to a combination of the fabrics characteristicsfiber, yarn, construction, weight, and finish (Figure 8.9). A fabrics hand affects how it drapes. The texture of a fabric affects how we perceive color. Shiny surfaces, such as satin or metallics, reflect light, emphasizing the color and making the figure look larger. Pile surfaces, such as velvet, chenille, and corduroy, absorb light, giving the color more variation. Pile surfaces also have more loft or thickness, thus making the figure look larger. Stiff fabrics, including taffeta and
organza, stand away from the body; as a result, the garment silhouette may need some reference to the body to communicate its shape. Drapey fabrics, such as matte jersey, and fabrics cut on the bias tend to cling to the body, identifying its natural curves. By using a dress form, a designer can explore the natural attributes of a fabric. Fabrics and their textures are used to best advantage when allowed to do what they do naturally. Pattern Some fabrics also have pattern. Patterns can be created by the texture of the fabric; they can be constructed into the fabric through weaving, knitting, or felting; or they can be applied to the fabric through printing, embossing, and other specialty techniques such as dvor or laser cutting. The popularity of specific patterns is subject to fashion cycles (Figure 8.10a). In a manner similar to line, color, and texture, patterns can help to create figure illusions. In general, the pattern should be scaled to the wearer. As noted in Chapter 6, the placement of large motifs may need to be engineered on the body to avoid calling attention to certain body parts. This can be more easily accomplished with todays digital printing technology. Large patterns are generally best used in garment silhouettes where there is extra fabric, and the pattern can drape in folds over the body or in slim silhouettes where there are a minimum of darts and seams (Figure 8.10b).

Dont discard anything!

It is crucial to exhaust every option and push ideas as far as possible. In this particular process, Jovana employed a variety of approaches: 3D draping with paper on the dress form, zero-waste pattern-making, photography, 2D sketching and back to 3D draping. Moving back and forth between these methods enabled Jovana to see the design process from new perspectives, and an idea gains momentum when seen from a variety of vantage points. A threefold linear framework was evident in the 3D draping process: the draping on the dress form itself, photographing the drapes, and then tracing over the photographs to create new ideas. Silhouettes were then developed with more detail in the sketchbook. At this point in the process, each new design formed a modified version of the previous iteration and key elements were carried forward. Zero-waste patterncutting techniques informed 3D development by starting with one yard (90cm) of fabric and exploring shapes on the dress form without cutting. Seeking to highlight the wholeness of the body, Jovana chose to completely eliminate side seams. This was achieved by draping on the bias and creating bias tubes, which where then draped on the form automatically. After the 3D phase, Jovana started to develop key design details in 2D and began pairing individual items together in head-to-toe looks. At this point in the 2D sketch phase, attention was paid to the mixing of prints, colours, knits, and embroideries, along with a consideration of how the inside of the garments could reflect the concept of the body beneath the skin. This led to the idea of reversibility.
4/5/6/7 3D drape, photograph and sketch Jovana moved between 2D and 3D to play with flat pattern, photography and draping. This enabled her to play with ideas of print, colour, knit, embroidery and zero-waste techniques.

1/2/3 Exploring mood, colour and a muse Jovana used the concept of a muse to move her ideas forward. By examining who this might be, a more clearly defined ideal emerged.

A fashion designers domain-specific knowledge should include:
textiles
Fibers have inherent properties that determine their end uses. For example, hydrophilic fibers, such as cotton and wool, absorb moisture so, most often, they are comfortable to wear. Hydrophobic fibers, such as polyester and acrylic, do not readily absorb moisture, so they are prone to static and can feel clammy against the skin. Fiber and fabric properties suggest how garments will drape, feel, and be worn, and also how they can be cleaned. Designers wanting to avoid returns at retail will familiarize themselves with fiber and fabric characteristics, so they can choose fabrics that are compatible with the ultimate end use of the product. In addition, new textile innovations are continually being introduced that can increase a fabrics comfort, performance, and/or aesthetics. Designers need to keep abreast of these developments.

Women of the late 1800s increasingly worked outside the home and participated in recreational athletic activities. This tendency contributed to the pared down fashion silhouette of the time. Although the expansive crinoline had fallen out of style, women were loathe to discard the dresses that covered them, so they pulled excess fabric to the back for a bustled silhouette.

When you think of iconic designers, Christian Dior, Miuccia Prada, Narciso Rodriguez, Tracy Reese, or Carolina Herrera may come to mind. Or it could be American designers Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. Regardless, a league of fashion designers has paved the way for designers today. For example, Coco Chanel is often credited with ridding womens fashion of constricting corsets and introducing menswear fabrics into womens apparel (Figure 1.6). Each designer that has come before or is in the limelight today has made a contribution to what we know as contemporary fashion.

Traditional Japanese kimonos are made from a single, narrow length of cloth. The meticulously screened silk fabric was considered a precious resource, so the entire length was used. No fabric was cut away as waste. This Christian Dior creation is an amalgam of Japanese influences, but the drape of a single length of uncut silk fabric acknowledges the kimono as its inspiration.

This knowledge is not gained quickly. It takes patience and devotion to develop a deep and broad base. Most disciplines are never really mastered, but continual learning always keeps the material fresh and exciting. Acquiring an ever-increasing body of knowledge gives the learner confidence, even as it stimulates inspiration. University courses within fashion design programs address many of the aspects listed here, and industry experience expands on the knowledge gained from coursework.
historicalaspectsofdress
Designers look to history for several reasons. First, there is no reason to reinvent the wheel, as the saying goes, each time a garment is made. Past eras reveal much in the way of clothing construction, sewing techniques, textiles used, and skills developed, and many of these tactics still have relevance in the apparel field today (Figure 1.4). The aesthetic aspects of dress are also explored. Dress is often considered as an art form that can reveal much about the cultural sensibilities of an age. When approaching the study of historical costume, designers rarely look at the dress of a period in isolation. They also consider the circumstances of when it was worn. Economic conditions, political climate, social structure, religion, technology, and other aspects are investigated, and these components can inform how certain items can be viewed and utilized today.
Figure

Coco Chanel ushered new styling into the twentieth century. She advocated simplicity and comfort over the structured silhouettes that came before. Her soft tailoring complemented, rather than restricted the female form, and it epitomized the independent modern woman. Courtesy of Cond Nast Archive
culturalaspectsofdress
As with the study of historical dress, cultural aspects of dress are considered within the broad context of how a garment is developed and worn (Figure 1.5). Many cultural traditions evolve out of necessity, and skills in fabric construction, dyeing, and printing often originate from the indigenous natural resources available to the people. Designers want to ascertain, and be respectful of, the meanings behind the cultural aspects of dress. In this way, when they reference cultural facets in their designing, they honor the embodied traditions of the work.

CIRCLES AND RUFFLES

Circle patterns are effective in creating full ruffles at the neck and cuff and cascading ruffles. The weight and thickness of cloth and depth of ruffles will determine the size and shape of these patterns. The more circles you add, the more ruffles will be created. The case study on the opposite page would need several circles to achieve such fullness. It is helpful to test the fabric and circle ratios in cloth so that you can establish how many circles you may need and how deep. The grain of the circles varies from straight to bias, and where you position the grain will influence the way it falls and the look.

Step-by-step FRONT 1. Trace off front bodice with dart in armhole position to hem length (hip). Draw a new shoulder line 1cm lower this moves the line forward to the front. 2. Trace off sleeve block, draw a line 4cm down the centre line and square out to either side. Cut out sleeve and separate along centre line. Slash across construction line. 3. Place the sleeve crown 1cm away from the SP. Open slash line approx 2cm so that the elbow line drops and touches the side seam of the body (see dotted lines). 4. Raise SP 1cm (to the original SP). Mark point E 7cm above the waist for sleeve hem. Draw in a new shoulder and top sleeve line curving from NP position upwards through the SP, maintaining a good rounded curve and continuing down slightly wider than the original sleeve. 5. Draw sleeve hemline square to the new top sleeve curve to meet point E. 6. Complete pattern by connecting EF in a straight line and squaring a hem across to CF.
Step-by-step BACK 1. Trace off back bodice to hem length (hip). Move shoulder line forward 1cm. 2. Trace off sleeve block, draw a line 4cm down the centre line and square out to either side. Cut out sleeve and separate along centre line. Slash across construction line. 3. Place the sleeve crown 1cm away from the SP. Open slash line approx 2cm so that the elbow line drops and touches the side seam of the body (see dotted lines). 4. Raise SP 1cm. Mark point E 7cm above the waist for sleeve hem. Draw in a new shoulder and top sleeve line curving from the dart position upwards through the new SP, maintaining a good rounded curve and continuing down slightly wider than the original sleeve. 5. Draw sleeve hemline square to the new top sleeve curve to meet point E. 6. Complete pattern by connecting EF in a straight line and squaring a hem across to CB.
Radius = circumference divided by 6.28. 1. Measure the length of the seam the ruffles will be inserted into (CD = seam length or part of). If more circles are required, divide the length of the seam line equally so that the circles will fit comfortably. You can allow a little extra length if there are a few circles as the seams may be tight and may pull when sewn. If gathers or pleats are required, do a test in fabric first to establish how much extra to add. Then create your circles according to the extra length needed for the gathering.
TROUBLESHOOTING
To create more movement add extra width by slashing a line from the point at which the sleeve meets the side seam up to the NP. Add width (3cm) and redraw the side seam and sleeve hem. Do this back and front.

CHAPTER 6: RUB-OFF PATTERN DRAFTING

Although it is not widely publicized, rub-o pattern drafting, in which a pattern is traced or lifted from an existing item of clothing, is not uncommon within the fashion industry. This can be fueled by a desire to recreate a vintage nd the like of which is a staple of many design ranges. There are two main methods of taking a pattern from an existing garment: the at method, for predominantly at garments, and the drape method, for more three-dimensional garments. For both methods, when all sections are traced, double-check seam lengths with the measurements of the original garment. A vintage piece is likely to have distorted with wear, so patterns should be trued up and then tested by producing a muslin.

Cut a piece of pattern paper the length of the skirt plus an amount extra. In the center, mark a line straight down (CF); at about 12in (30cm) from the top, square across the hip line.
THE FLAT METHOD

For mainly at garments, such as a skirt, the simplest approach is to trace through the item directly onto pattern paper using a spiked tracing wheel. There are likely to be areas of suppression (darts, gathering, ease) within the garment that are slightly harder to transfer as they do not lay completely at when pinned to paper. These may need to be estimated. If the piece can be unpicked to its component parts, the process becomes much simpler. For symmetrical garments, it is wise to trace just one half of the front and back; the piece can then be mirrored when cut. For demonstration purposes, the illustrations in this chapter show the pieces being traced on both sides.

Find the CF of the skirt by measuring across and halving the amount, marking it with pins. Do this at spaced intervals down the top. If the skirt is symmetrical, you can measure from the seams rather than the edge.

The Story of Colour in Textiles
Susan Kay-Williams
From pre-history to the current day, the story of dyed textiles brings together the worlds of politics, money, the church, law, taxation, international trade and exploration, fashion, serendipity and science. This book is an introduction to a broad, diverse and fascinating subject of how and why people coloured textiles. A fresh review of this topic, this book brings previous scholars work to light again, alongside new discoveries and research. SUSAN KAY-WILLIAMS is the Chief Executive of the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court, UK.

The Healing of the Lame Man cartoon designed by Raphael and painted by his studio team. It is hard to believe that these were just designs later designers often do not complete the entire work, leaving notes instead to indicate colour or similar patterning, but these are painted in full and as such have been much admired in their own right, not just as an inspiration for the tapestries. The Royal Collection 2011 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II The Healing of the Lame Man tapestry, one of a series woven by Peter van Aelst and company based on the cartoons of Raphael at the behest of Poe Leo X, to hang on the lower walls of the Sistine Chapel.

This does not mean, however, that only the strongest colours were used. Yellow is in evidence, though often edged with red, as in the jacket of the lame man, and underpinned at the sides and in the sleeve with blue hatching to help give definition to the garment even after it has faded.11 What is more surprising is the choice of orchil, a lichen dye, for the purple-red colour. It was already known to be fugitive yet they chose to use it. One can only conjecture why, but perhaps because of the very limited range of purplegiving dyestuffs at this time, as well as an inability to imagine they would still be seen 500 years later. At any rate, the purple has long since faded to brownish colours.12 The green that can be seen so clearly in the original cartoon was painted in malachite, but no green-dyed wool, requiring blue and yellow overdyeing, possessed the longevity of malachite paint.
One further difference between the painting and the tapestry is the use of metal thread. While gold was used in paintings, Raphael did not use it here because these were cartoon designs, never meant to be displayed in their own right. The weavers, however, incorporated gilt-wrapped threads in the weaving of the columns, giving added sparkle and lustre that was much in evidence to the Pope and his guests in the candlelight when the first seven tapestries were displayed on 26 December 1519. Vasari commented that the completed work was of such wonderful beauty that it astonishes anyone who sees it to think that it could have been possible to weave the hair and the beards so finely and to have given such softness to the flesh merely by the use of threads. The tapestries seem to have been created by a miracle rather than by human skill.13 Inevitably, the metal threads have become
tarnished by 500 years of dirt. It would be impossible to try to lift the dirt from the metal threads without doing irreparable harm to the surrounding threads so the piece now looks flatter in colour and shine than it would have originally; nevertheless, thanks to being kept in the rarefied confines of the Vatican, these tapestries are in remarkable condition considering their age.
NEW WORLD, NEW DYESTUFFS

When he first discovered it, Pedro Alvarez Cabral thought Brazil was only an island and named it Vera Cruz. In 1501 it was renamed Santa Cruz, but when
the Portuguese laid claim to the whole territory they named it Brazil due to the large number of Caesalpina trees, making it the only country to be named after a dye source.14 Notwithstanding this new source of the dye, brazilwood continued to be controversial throughout this century. In 1524, Henry VIII of England banned it from being used to make scarlet, while in Venice it was only permissible for use on cotton, where the dyers did not expect to get a good colour and refused to use the more expensive madder and kermes.15 Brazilwood was not the only heartwood dye discovered in the Americas, the other being logwood. At first, it was thought logwood might be a substitute for woad or indigo, with a much easier dyeing process than the vat method those materials required. However, it was quickly found to be quite fugitive

europe: central and eastern like all traditional peoples, costume varied from region to region. in this colder climate woven wool, heavier fabrics, velvets and fur were used. textiles generally had a white or black base. decoration was embroidered or woven floral or animal motifs in red, white, blue, gold, or black. fine pleating, gathered lace collars and bell shaped skirts were common in womens clothing. men wore tunics and decorative vests inspired by turkish invaders. North America
contents
the native tribes of north america relied heavily on animal skins for clothing. always respecting the whole animal, the basic hide silhouettes were sewn together with bone needles and gut thread. pieces were highly decorative with fringe, tassels, feathers, braiding and intricate porcupine quill or seashell beading. motifs were symbolic of their connection to the natural world and portrayed celestial or animal images. many designers today reference imagery from woven or quilted navajo rugs and blankets or northwest Coast Chilkat hand woven ceremonial capes and hand carved totem poles. south and central America the native peoples of south and Central americas believed clothing could transform a person. they are known for their brightly colored, highly patterned and decorated cloth. ikat weaving, found in many areas of the globe, was particularly advanced, both in multi -color application and patterning. the patterns were precisely controlled on a back strap loom by wrapping the warp threads around a stick. Other methods of textile decoration included brocade weaving, tapestry, embroidery and tiedye. much of these lands are covered in lush rainforest. the proliferation of mineral, animal and plant has given these peoples a spectrum of natural dies including lime greens, bright pinks, indigo and the entire rainbow. imagery denoted status, religion and village through both design and color. motifs were often people, plants or animals.

A sub-group of the Miyake Design Studio, Reality Lab, has created a line of clothing to address future thinking. Employing folded paper, three-dimensional computer modeling, a revolutionary recycled polyester fabric and high-end design concept, the resulting fashions address comfort, minimal use of materials, production concerns and beauty. They look at once both straight out of a sci-fi film and hauntingly reminiscent of the ancient art of origami.

syntHetics
emulsion thickeners these are now mostly used with pigment print pastes, where white spirit has mainly been replaced by solvent-free ingredients. in the past, white spirit emulsion was combined with an alginate thickener such as Manutex to make a thickener for use with reactive and disperse dyes. in industry their use has declined, due to environmental concern and the development of synthetic alternatives. thickeners or binders for pigment pastes can be bought ready-mixed. solvitose / Monagum starch ethers can withstand strong alkaline conditions without breaking down and are used for white discharge printing on reactive and direct grounds, colour discharge printing with basic dyes and colour discharge printing with pigments. it is also the thickener used for devor printing onto protein fibres and in crimping pastes. the most well-known brand of starch ether thickener is solvitose, and there are two types: c5 (maize starch) and oFa (guar gum based). in the uK, solvitose c5 is most easily available and is the recommended starch ether thickener for recipes in this book; in the us, Monagum would be an equivalent product. these are best mixed well in advance to ensure there are no lumps remaining in the paste. solvitose c5 1 Measure 1 litre cold water, and slowly sprinkle 120g solvitose c5 powder or flakes onto the surface, mixing thoroughly with an electric whisk. leave to stand for a few hours or, if possible, overnight.

The cloTh and The Thread earlier this year in Ahmedabad keeps playing in my mind. Initially, I thought it was due to his intense use of miniature stitching, the way he had reduced the scale of his designs by half, challenging himself to make work where the minute stitches are hardly visible. However, on reflection, I now feel certain that it was his obsession with the straight grain that stayed with me. He stressed repeatedly, For me, geometry is very important, the grain lines keeping it very straight when you remove it from the frame.1 Asif s designs and stitches are neither geometric nor rigid, but beautifully placed, intricate motifs adorning immaculate garments. His determination is to perfect, to produce something of absolute quality, which for him required complete precision, order and control. Reflecting on the conversation, analysing in turn the role of order in my own and others practice, I understand that I stitch against the grain, marks going a little askew, the weave of the cloth distorting the image. The cloths structure inflicts a grid to accept or ignore, a rule asking to be obeyed or broken. Sometimes a stitched line is moving happily along the warp and then shoots off, finding its own pattern. Stitching layers of overlaid cloth creates an intriguing, jarring mix. I have observed artists select, absorb, reject and experiment with threads and grounds and have become interested in embroiderers choice of, and sensitivity to, their materials. That a stitch can and does exist independently from a ground and is made from materials other than fibre is discussed elsewhere. Here I present responses to the relationship between thread and cloth and illustrate that the ground, its surface, structure and handle, is central to encapsulating the spirit of the work. A selection of apparently random examples illustrates a commonality that transcends the professional and amateur, the historic and the contemporary, the novice and the experienced. The commonality here being the stitches connection to a base, as Gavin Fry describes it, the in and out, not the on.2 Whether artists paint or stitch, I have recently begun to understand that the attraction of stitch for me is the connection of thread to cloth. Cloth dictates a history; it has tactile qualities and its structure, usually constructed of thread, suggests somewhere to start. Nigel Cheney expresses this well: I went through a few years of thinking I had to be a painter and tried oils (allergic), canvas (too bouncy) MDF (better), acrylic (just cant get enough layers before it becomes fugitive), watercolours (too disciplined and cant leave the white of the paper ) paint just isnt enough. I look at them and they are flat and dead and without the bounce, edge and depth that stitch has.3 He goes on to describe hand stitch as like a highlighter pen. Applied to the cloth, the stitch punctures and punctuates, heightens and distorts, even has a right and a wrong. It eventually obliterates the cloth in various proportions, the embroiderer judging how much of the cloth needs to remain visible. Stitch is physical colour in a multiplicity of guises, a means to imbue the cloth with ideas,

The Professional Embroiderer?

this chapter is a reflection on the identity of a professional embroiderer, his role, his knowledge and his current and future working patterns. It is written as my own opinion and not as the definitive and sole function/persona of the professional embroiderer. The particular emphasis of the chapter will be on the use of embroidery within the fashion arena; as a skill, it needs to be far more comprehensive than simply an ability to technically make work to a high standard. Within this chapter, the term hand is used to describe any work not produced on a machine, free-arm or otherwise. I use the term professional embroiderer to refer to an artisan who is able to use his or her skill and knowledge of hand-embroidery techniques in order to produce work for a third party or commissioning client. Within this second definition, there is a distinction to be made, since there remain a few embroiderers who are wedded to technical skill. They are experts in their field but they do not involve themselves in any of the design process. They may be from the older generation of embroiderer and have worked as employees of embroidery or couture houses. For such artisans, the work may not be to their taste, but this is not a question that they pose, since their job is to execute the work professionally within any given time constraints and to any budget. The embroiderers of today are more often artisans who can apply their knowledge to resolve ideas and design concepts, innovate with materials and techniques in order to remain economically viable, and display an individual approach to their skills that can integrate and complement the aesthetic considerations of their clients. The term embroidery is generally synonymous with the act of using needle and thread on a cloth base. The term, however, is now open to a multitude of activities that include beading, the addition of sequins, and all embellishments to an article of clothing which lie outside other specific disciplines such as knit, weave or print. Economically, within the reality of the current fashion world, it is rare to produce any hand-stitched work other than samples (which will be translated into mechanical outcomes, and the wedding market, which I will discuss later). I am not including here designer-makers who sell their own products or artworks. They may be professional but do not fall within the focus of this chapter, which is the application of skill in the artisan world. My own professional identity lies where skill is mixed with a strong design element and an awareness and knowledge of the wider context, history and potential of embroidery, together with an ability to look beyond the technical precedents and constraints of tradition.
James Hunting Sample, 2000. Stranded cotton embroidery on silk tulle. Photo: James Hunting. I produced a range of wedding veils for a client. I used soft-coloured cottons rather than the traditional cream. They are stitched with two strands of cream cotton and one other colour, which runs through. This is an aspect of stranded cotton: you can blend colours through mixing strands.
The profession of embroiderer is under threat in the UK. We have to recognise that we cannot compete with the market leaders in the making of hand embroidery. Freelance embroiderers in the UK have a set of fixed charges and expenses that specify a higher hourly rate of pay, and given the time-intensive manner of hand embroidery, we cannot be as cheap as the current market leaders, China and India. The haute couture tradition of hand embroidery in France could be said to be superior. The French have a proactive approach to the retention of traditional craft, of artisanship and of regional knowledge, which means that embroidery continues to maintain its status as a serious profession. In France, training is financially supported by both the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education, since embroidery is identified as a national skill. They train people to work with the couture world to a very high level of technical speed and finish; however, I have observed that the one thing that appears to be absent in their training is the achievement of a personal, individual, artistic approach.The cultural rules in France are so well established that although lip service is paid to the idea of the individual the individualists seem to be frowned upon. My own particular area, whilst working in the couture houses in Paris, was finished or nearly finished dresses, so I would often be contacted late in the collection to produce work. This would mean working in the main studio of the couture house, unlike the French embroiderers, who stitched on framed-up work in the studios of the embroidery companies, the dresses being delivered for fitting. The work was focused and time was of an essence: there is no way you can be late for a catwalk. Often, dresses were finished just before the show, and by the word just, I mean five minutes beforehand. Work was often interrupted by fittings and design developments, which could alter the work and outcome. These changes had to be absorbed and reacted to this too is the reason that an embroiderer has to be able to apply knowledge and skills in order to achieve; designers are not interested in how, just when. The greatest advantage was to work in the proximity of the petites mains, the artisans of the ateliers who have an incredible skill base, can fit a garment by eye, and can produce exquisitely made and resolved pieces quietly and efficiently, the storm of the creative team passing over their heads. Fabric and couture techniques demand their own respect. I was more interested in gaining the respect of the petites mains than the designer himself or herself: for me, the ultimate in a good job is the respect of other artisans and experts in their field. One of our skills in the UK is our ability to innovate, to take ownership of techniques and skills, to rework and approach them in a different way. This is a vital and essential part of our economic viability that should be celebrated (look at the Cool Britannia label and how much cultural and creative activities bring into the UK). The embroidery world needs innovation, it needs to constantly build on tradition, rather than simply reworking seventeenth-, eighteenth- or nineteenthcentury models in order to preserve the skills. I believe that we need to continue to acquire technical knowledge and to understand the mechanics and gesture of

The brief these samples were made for was to change the texture of the silk duchesse and lose the join between the fabrics. The client had a very strong image of her look and needed the fabric to look less wedding-like and pristine. I had been looking at self-coloured embroidery and was interested in the geometric look, an extension of seeding stitch worked on the surface.

Poiret, Dior and Schiaparelli
Fashion, Femininity and Modernity
Ilya Parkins
Through a highly original and detailed analysis of the memoirs, interviews and other life writings of Poiret, Dior and Schiaparelli, this book explores changing notions of femininity in the early decades of the twentieth century, when the democratization of fashion began. Examining the idea of modernity, eternity and the ephemeral in the writings of these haute couturiers, the book reflects on fashions ambivalent approach to women, which both celebrated and vilified them, presenting them as both ultra modern style leaders and irrational creatures stuck in the past. ILYA PARKINS is Assistant Professor of Gender and Womens Studies at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan, Canada.

A Cultural History of Jewish Dress

Eric Silverman
A Cultural History of Jewish Dress is the first comprehensive account of how Jews have been distinguished by their appearance from Ancient Israel to the present. This lively work explores the rich history of Jewish dress, examining how Jews and non-Jews alike debated and legislated Jewish attire in different places, as well as outlining the big debates on dress within the Jewish community today. Focusing on tensions over gender, ethnic identity and assimilation, each chapter discusses the meaning and symbolism of a specific era or type of Jewish dress. The book also offers the first analysis of how young Jewish adults today announce on caps, shirts, and even undergarments their striving to transform Jewishness from a religious and historical heritage into an ethnic identity that is hip, racy, and irreverent. Fascinating and accessibly written, A Cultural History of Jewish Dress will appeal to anybody interested in the central role of clothing in defining Jewish identity.

I always see people wearing my T-shirts, probably because there have been so many of them.
you see one you cant help but read it. According to Hamnett the slogan T-shirts appeal is also its aesthetic: They have to be something that you would want to wear ... The use of slogans on a T-shirt gives you a voice. You speak to anybody who sees you. They can be quite sexy. Wearing a T shirt thats says KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, for instance, makes you look like someone who has a brain, [someone who is] interesting, you would like to know more about them. You look as if you are part of a thinking elite. By wearing the slogan T-shirt, you use your body to put over a clear message. For instance, the STOP THE WAR COLLECTION (2003) started as a follow up to some T-shirts we did as a reaction to Bushs call for a war on terror. The NOT IN MY NAME T-shirt was hugely visible in the enormous demonstrations held in London. Always au courant with current affairs Hamnett continues: Article 13 of the British Prevention of Terrorism Act
says that it is illegal to wear a T-shirt with a politically contentious message. In theory you can be jailed for wearing a T-shirt that says FREE TIBET. Hamnetts assertive and universally recognisable proclamations have been used as a blueprint for slogan T-shirts on a scale that is unparalleled, but as she remarks: Someone once said you should get worried when they stop copying you. High street copies are an endorsement; stupid slogans go nowhere. You can never really devalue a slogan thats says WORLDWIDE NUCLEAR BAN NOW or SAVE THE RAINFOREST. A contribution from sales of our T-shirts has been made to various charities over the years. We also donate slogan designs to charities to help raise awareness and funding. Sometimes people ask me to do some relating to a particular issue like AIDS awareness for H&M where I came up with STOP AND THINK, USE ONE and PROTECT AND SURVIVE = use a condom. We try to keep them pure, adding;
the FRANKIE SAYS RELAX wasnt ours, they did it themselves. During the entire process of producing this book, one name has repeatedly been cited as a source of inspiration, regardless of the industry the contributors come from, and that is Katharine Hamnett. Moreover, in 2011 the Queen finally recognised Hamnett by awarding her a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire: an official accolade given for services to the country or community) for services to the fashion industry. Hamnett continues to innovate with clothing designs that make her patrons hearts palpitate, and erudite slogan T-shirts that likewise make government hearts palpitate: I think they have turned into a new medium; they dont seem to go away. The most popular ones are some of the first ones we ever did such as CHOOSE LIFE, SAVE THE SEA and LOVE. People carry on asking for them and I keep on making up new ones. They work.
Cultural agitator and co-founder of the inimitable fashion label A Child of the Jago, Simon Barnzley Armitages creative trajectory has nearly always involved the presence of T-shirts: Even as a kid I was making homemade T-shirts, everyone used to do that, it was standard punk rock practice. Yet, what is palpable about any one of the independent T-shirt ventures that Barnzley has established since the 1980s is his ability to demote elitism through his transgressive tactics and irreverent vision that capsizes the cultural status quo. During the latter part of the 80s a trend erupted that saw the appropriation of statusled logos such as Chanel and Gucci engaged with as street fashion, bringing an urban glamour to what was formerly regarded as bourgeois fashion. Inadvertently, this guerrilla gesture changed the fabric of designer labels as we knew them. By negating the exclusivity and fiscal inaccessibility of haute couture, these luxury brands no longer belonged merely to members of the affluent and privileged, deluxe fashion had crossed the threshold into pop fashions colourful playground. The man responsible for this revolutionary T-shirt spectacle was Barnzley Armitage.
It was in the mid 80s whilst working at the headquarters of the iconic Kings Road boutique BOY that Barnzleys entrepreneurial spirit was inaugurated: In the studio was a screenprinting table, and at night, once the manager had locked up, the guys who had the keys used to let us in and wed mess around with ideas. Inspired by the sartorial prowess of Japanese youths that used to frequent the Kings Road, Barnzley recalls how theyd imported a trend that saw buttons removed from Chanel clothing and sewn onto the front of jeans. I remember seeing all these Japanese kids hanging around Worlds End [Vivienne Westwoods landmark boutique] with their video cameras, which at the time you sensed were going to be the next big thing after Walkmans. Anyway they seemed so futuristic with their gadgets and their customised clothes and quite suddenly there was this whole thing about bootleg designer clothes. This movement towards recontextualising designer motifs led Barnzley to cut out adverts from magazines and screenprint them onto muslin T-shirts: Chanel made this T-shirt just for their show and I saw it in a magazine and it was either not for sale or for sale at 300 or something

Although 2Ks covetable merchandise had been limited to Japan, demand from around the world generated global expansion. It was in the latter part of 2000 that 2K set up another headquarters in Los Angeles fulfilling a palpable void in the market in the United States. Several years later 2K changed ownership and suffixed its original name with by Gingham.
Interestingly, the name 2K was assigned by fellow independently-minded enclave, the Amsterdam-based graphic design studio Experimental Jetset, who also contributed many T-shirt designs in the early years. Quite simply, both founders surnames began with a K. Nowadays 2K by Gingham continue to carefully select artists and designers whose
artwork and imagery it considers to be imaginative. Livingston sums up 2K by Ginghams own attraction to text-based T-shirts: I think slogan T-shirts have weight if you are referencing the societal changing power in the message of the work of someone like Katharine Hamnett. Nonetheless, silly humour is always welcome in our world as well.

The Language of Fashion
Roland Barthes
Roland Barthes was one of the most widely influential thinkers of the 20th Century, and the semiotic power of fashion and clothing were of perennial interest to him. The Language of Fashion now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series collects some of his most important writings on these subjects. Barthes essays here range from the history of clothing to the cultural importance of Coco Chanel, from Hippie style in Morocco to the figure of the dandy, from colour in fashion to the power of jewellery. Barthes acute analysis and constant questioning make this book an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the cultural power of fashion. ROLAND BARTHES (1915-1980) was a major French writer, literary theorist and critic of French culture and society.

Vampire Culture
Maria Mellins
The London vampire subculture is an alternative lifestyle community of people from all walks of life and all ages, from train drivers to university lecturers, who organise events such as fang fittings, gothic belly dancing, late night graveyard walks, and carve your own tombstone. Mellins presents an extraordinary account of this fascinating subculture, which is largely unknown to most people. Through case study analysis of the female participants, Vampire Culture investigates womens longstanding love affair with the undead, and asks how this fascination impacts on their lives, from fiction to fashion. Vampire Culture includes photography from community member and professional photographer SoulStealer, and is an essential read for students and scholars of gender, film, television, media, fashion, culture, sociology and research methods, as well as anyone with an interest in vampires, style subcultures, and the gothic.

Fashion As Performance
Elizabeth Patterson
Fashion As Performance represents the first critical examination of fashion as dramatic performance. Going beyond analyses of fashion as a means of social performance, relating to communication and consumption of community, cultural and personal identity, this highly original and engaging book explores the ways in which clothing operates by applying key performance theory approaches. From Aristotle and Brecht to Auslander and Boal, elements of classical and current dramatic theory are used in case study style to unpack specific collections, designers and moments in contemporary fashion at which dramatic theory finds its way to the runway, the hanger and the street corner. ELIZABETH PATTERSON is Assistant Professor of Performance Studies at Elon University, North Carolina, USA.

Porn Chic
Exploring the Contours of Raunch Eroticism
Annette Lynch
This engaging book draws from a diverse range of examples including film, popular tabloids, campus culture, mass media marketing campaigns, facebook profiles, and art exhibits to explore expressions and meanings of porn chic. Bringing a cultural and feminist lens to the material, this book challenges the reader to question the sexual agency of the 12-year-old girl dressed to seduce in fashions inspired by Katie Price, the college coed flashing her breasts for a film maker during Spring break, and the waitress making her customer happy with chicken wings and a nice set of Hooters. It also explores the raunchy bad boys being paid handsomely to tell the world about their sexual exploits, online, on film, and in popular press bestsellers. Porn Chic also features thought-provoking artwork by Nicola Bockelmann, which focuses on the permeable border between pornography and mainstream culture and urges viewers to question everyday explicitness.

Punk Style
Monica Sklar
Punk is frequently positioned as a forerunner of trends that later become commonplace, as demonstrated in the proliferation and acceptance of body modification, the repeated use of deconstruction as a design aesthetic, and the recent boom in fashion that reflects DIY style through handmade crafts. The book explores how this dominant subcultural style continues to expand via the internet, youth buying-power, and the constant re-appropriation of its distinctive styles. MONICA SKLAR has taught several college-level courses in dress and retailing, and has published widely on the subject of subcultural style.

Fashion and Age

Dress, the Body and Later Life
Julia Twigg
Fashion and Age is the first study to systematically explore the links between clothing and age, drawing on fashion theory and cultural gerontology to examine the changing ways in which age is imagined, experienced and understood in modern culture through the medium of dress. Clothes lie between the body and its social expression, and the book explores the significance of embodiment in dress and in the cultural constitution of age. Drawing on the views of older women, journalists and fashion editors, and clothing designers and retailers, it aims to widen the agenda of fashion studies to encompass the everyday dress of the majority, shifting the debate about age away from its current preoccupation with dependency, towards a fuller account of the lived experience of age. JULIA TWIGG is Professor in the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research at the University of Kent, UK.

As the first ethnographic account of the Chinese fashion industry in the post-Mao era, The Chinese Fashion Industry combines first-hand accounts with sophisticated cultural analysis to offer new insights. This book offers a historically informed, and interpretive analysis of contemporary Chinese fashion and the fashion industry. It examines the interplay of state politics, market forces, local social and cultural factors, and the global political economy, both in the rise of the Chinese fashion industry and in the life and work of Chinese fashion professionals.

Fashioning Bollywood
The Making and Meaning of Hindi Film Costume
Clare Wilkinson-Weber
Fashioning Bollywood, the first in-depth exploration of Hindi film costume, contends that it is a unique source of knowledge about issues ranging from Indian taste and fashion to identity, gender and work. Anthropological and film studies approaches combine to analyze costume as the outcome of production processes and as a cinematic device for conveying meaning. Chapters lead from the places where costume is planned and executed to detailed analyses of men and womens costumes, to the imagining of historical or fantasy worlds through clothes, to the power of stardom to launch clothing styles into the public domain. As well as charting the course of film costume as it parallels important trends in cultural history, the book considers the future of Hindi film costume, in the context of new strains of filmmaking that stress unvarnished realism. CLARE WILKINSON-WEBER is Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Washington State University, Vancouver, Canada.

The Religious Life of Dress
Lynne Hume
From clothing to the painted and scarified nude body, through overt, public display or esoteric symbols known only to the initiated, dress can convey information about beliefs, faith, identity, power, agency, resistance, and fashion. Taking a senses approach, Humes engaging account takes into consideration the look, smell, feel, touch and sound of religious apparel, the smells and bells of dress and its accoutrements, as well as the emotions evoked by donning religious garb. The books global perspective provides wide-ranging, yet detailed, coverage of religious dress, from the history and meaning of the simple no-frills attire of the Anabaptists to the power structure displayed in the elaborate fabrics and colours of the Roman Catholic Church; Hume examines the 2,500 year-old tradition of Buddhist robes, the nudity of Indias holy men, and much more. With chapters on Sufism, Vodou, modern Pagans, as well as painted and tattooed indigenous and modern Western bodies, the reader is swept along on a sensual journey of the sight, sound, smell and feel of wearing religion. LYNNE HUME is Associate Professor in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.

Luxury
History, Culture, Consumption
Edited by Jonathan Faiers and Shannon Bell Price
Luxury: History, Culture, Consumption will be the first truly interdisciplinary, academic journal devoted to luxury. It considers luxury in broad socio-cultural contexts, exploring and interrogating both our historical and contemporary understanding of the term. Within the context of the contemporary global economic recession, our consumption of luxury is being questioned and transformed, with notions of affordable luxury, sustainable luxury and even luxury for less suggesting a new discourse. At the same time, the demand for luxury goods and services on a global scale is at an unprecedented level. Luxury examines all aspects of the subject: its historical formation and understanding, its contemporary global political and economic function, alongside an exploration of how the concept of luxury remains an impetus for design, popular culture, literature and fine art. Jonathan Faiers is a Reader in Fashion and Textiles at the Winchester College of Art, University of Southampton, UK. Shannon Bell Price is Assistant Chair of Fashion at the Pratt Institute, New York, USA.
