Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Fashion is "fashionable". This magnificent book shows the development that the big fashion brands such as Chanel and Luis Vuitton have undergone over the last 30 years. Since the eighties of the past century, every fashion house has had its own art director. This has shifted focus from pure clothing towards a 'Total Look': a clear visual style that reflects the image of the fashion brand. This development has made fashion accessible for a much larger audience. Graphic design, architecture, shop design, websites and movies create the total image of a brand. Fashion is everywhere, making COUTURE GRAPHIQUE a magnificent visual book. The layout and the design of this book has been done by Paul Boudens, an art director who works together with designers such as Martin Margiela and Walter van Beirendonck. AUTHOR: Jose Teunissen teaches fashion design at the ArtEZ school in Arnhem. She is also the conservator Fashion and Costumes of the Central Museum in Utrecht. She regularly publishes books and articles on fashion. SELLING POINTS: *From "haute couture" to it-bag, this book explores the developments in fashion over the last 30 years *The pioneering book in linking fashion and graphic design *An exhibition with the same name will be held at MOTI (Museum Of The Image in Breda) and will travel to Lausanne, Copenhagen and China ILLUSTRATIONS: 180 colour illustrations
