"I adored this book and can't recommend it highly enough" - CATHY HORYN"Beautifully executed" - NORMA KAMALI"A visual feast" - GILES DEACON"Entertaining, thought-provoking, and serious. Read it and learn." - COLIN MCDOWELL"Clothes from our past shape who we are, and who we will be. Why do we hold on to certain garments and what do they tell us and others about our lives?"Mark C. O'Flaherty asks 14 individuals who work with or use clothes in a unique way: how has fashion created something significant in your life? Through fascinating conversations, and photoshoots of their private collections, in New York, London and Milan, he constructs a portrait of each person through their intimate relationships with fashion, featuring The Idiosyncratic Fashionistas, Charlie Casely-Hayford, John Matheson (McQueen Vault), Sandy Powell, Stephen Jones, Carla Sozzani, Winn Austin, Carmen Haid, Susanne Bartsch, Karlo Steel, Karim Rashid, Steven Philip, and Desmond is Amazing.How have these people used fashion as a vessel for memory or identity to develop their own narratives, and what does our relationship with clothing say about its changing nature as a commodity? With a foreword by influential fashion tastemaker Amanda Harlech, and opening conversations with three of fashion's most respected scholars, Valerie Steele, Andre Walker and Claire Wilcox, Narrative Thread is an eye-opening resource for our understanding of fashion's past and present - and its continuing importance in our lives.

Recenzii

A beautifully executed book. Rarely does such a high level of talent for photography and writing exist in one person. It exists in Mark C. O'Flaherty.
A wondrous insight into some of the most important and singular collections in the world. A visual feast, packed with insightful psychological interpretations. The developing plot of each chapter, studying the relationship between the subject, their chosen pieces, and the human condition is truly fascinating.
This isn't simply a book about fashion collectors, though it is. This is a book about the daring creators of fashion during a magical period in the history of dress. O'Flaherty deftly weaves together the various narratives for an original account. I adored this book and can't recommend it highly enough.
This is a very important book for anyone who cares about the strength and creativity of fashion. The "conversations" featured are entertaining, thought-provoking. And serious. Read it and learn.
A remarkable and heart-warming book: Mark C. O'Flaherty's intimate portraits of diverse fashion collectors explores the relationship we have with fashion, expression, memory, and identity. The compendium surfaces big ideas about the cult of the brand, self-creation, and the psychology of collecting.
Mark C. O'Flaherty's book weaves us, in a tender way, through the emotional reasoning for holding on to garments from our past as we head into the future.
Narrative Thread provides unparalleled access to some of the world's most extraordinary privately-owned collections, revealing the untold stories and hidden meanings behind fashion's most significant garments. Alongside beautiful imagery, insightful conversations with the collectors offer thought-provoking perspectives on the significance of fashion and its impact on all our lives.
Astounding. Reading this inspired me to rethink the story my clothes tell.
