Jorge Yarur Bascuñán: The ''80s: Beyond Fashion, Gebunden

Klappentext

An extraordinary collection of 1980s fashion---garments and accessories gathered through one man's singular passion to create the world's most definitive archive of the era---enhanced by original interviews with the decade's most influential designers, stylists, and tastemakers.

Founded in 1999 and opened in 2007, Bascuñán has built Museo de la Moda into one of the world's largest archives of garments, accessories, and design objects from the era, ranging from vintage couture Chanel dresses worn by Joan Collins on Dynasty to subversive, deconstructed ensembles by Comme des Garçons and avant-garde outerwear designed by underground icon and performance artist Leigh Bowery.

With over 600 pages and more than 900 vintage iconic garments and accessories, many featured in the glossy pages of the world's biggest fashion magazines---from Jean Paul Gaultier worn by Grace Jones to stage and screen pieces donned by Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Princess Diana, and Michael Jackson. Highlighting the work of designers such as Vivienne Westwood, BodyMap, and Katharine Hamnett, this enormous book includes exclusive interviews and thematic explorations of style, color, menswear, and accessories. This is a definitive celebration of 1980s fashion and culture, which captures the decade defined by power, opulence, glamour, and fearless experimentation---when music, art, fashion, and design converged.
