Tartan: Revised and Updated: Textiles that Changed the World

Autor Professor Jonathan Faiers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2021
An outstanding and comprehensive contribution to the history of Tartan. - TelegraphFeaturing new insights and an additional chapter on masculinities, this updated edition of Tartan revitalizes discussions about the fabric's traditional, sentimental Highland origins and its deliberate subversion by contemporary designers. Tartan's history has made it uniquely capable of expressing both conformity and subversion, tradition and innovation. Through positioning tartan within broader philosophical, political and cultural contexts, from the tartan-clad Highland regiments and Queen Victoria's royal endorsement, to the fabric's influence on Westwood and McQueen and a generation of Japanese designers such as Watanabe and Takahashi, Jonathan Faiers traces tartan's development from clanship to contemporary fashion and its enormous domestic and global impact.Beautifully illustrated and weaving together a story out of history, art, music, film and fashion, Tartan demonstrates that this most traditional and radical fabric has become one of extraordinary versatility and far-reaching appeal.

Recenzii

An outstanding and comprehensive contribution to the history of Tartan.
Intriguing study ... mixes the serious with the saucy.
A rare treat; a readable, enjoyable academic text.
Stunning!
A great alternative to the numerous clan reference guides that abound in tourist traps up and down the country.
Comprehensive ... wonderfully eclectic.
This is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that is guaranteed to make the reader consider tartan from new perspectives.
Highly attractive ... fascinating ... A treasure trove of Tartan.
Faiers explores the cultural significance and surrounding connotations of tartan while conducting a comprehensive deconstruction of the fabric and its place and development throughout history from clanship to contemporary fashion.
Having read the book one becomes aware of tartan's extraordinary versatility, its possibilities as both a radical and traditional material, and the local and global contexts within which it operates.
This is a huge text book that would be great for anyone wanting to learn everything there is to know on the subject.
A great variety of illustrations of tartan fabrics as they appear in period portraits, fashion designers' collections, products, cartoons, stage, and film complement this thoroughly researched, annotated volume that should interest experts and general readers alike. Recommended.
A beautifully illustrated story ... history, art, music, film and fashion, Tartan contains everything you ever wanted to know about the most radical and traditional of fabrics.
The book of choice for intelligent fashionistas this winter.
Tartan is not only for dedicated aficionados, but for everyone curious about its chequered past. Faiers unravels a wonderfully engaging and kaleidoscopic view of this high-impact Scottish cloth, and surprises us by unravelling how tartan continues to inspire and permeate contemporary visual cultures.
This beautifully illustrated book is a fantastic resource for anyone wishing to understand Tartan's traditional and rebellious history, from its Scottish roots to its radical reinterpretation by designers including McQueen, Westwood, and Comme des Garçons. Tartan is a must-have book for any fashion or textile student.
Faiers offers the most in-depth exploration of tartan's entanglements with fashion and popular culture to date, teasing out the contradictions in its multifarious iterations of clan, cause, and contention. Tartan unravels the myths but the romance remains intact.
