Book excerpt: When it comes to fashion capitals, California is in a class of its own. From Haight-Ashbury's hippie style to Malibu's laid-back surfer gear to Rodeo Drive's Oscar gowns, the West Coast has defined American cool for well over a century. And as the birthplace of blue jeans -- the most influential item in contemporary clothing -- the Golden State has transformed world chic.Combining color and stunning black-and-white photographs, designer sketches, film stills, period advertisements, and a detailed, anecdotal text, California Fashion confirms the originality of the state's sunny style from 1850 to the present. Images of Rudi Gernreich's infamous topless bathing suit, Cher in Bob Mackie, Janis Joplin's San Francisco finery, and Rita Hayworth in Jean Louis will show readers why the world worships California girls.

Download or read book The California Fashion Story written by California Apparel Creators (Los Angeles, Calif.) and published by . This book was released on 1945 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A magazine-style monograph purportedly showing post-WWII fashion in California. Instead, the focus is on Southern California, particularly Los Angeles, with much attention paid to the then-current Hollywood celebrities and their styles of dress. There are scenes of Southern California (some of them without celebrities) to show the range of topography, along with a few depictions of industries. The color map folding out from the center ("California postwar fashion map : 1945, authentic designs of Caifornia Apparel Creators") shows the full length of the state, with selected places and landmarks highlighted throughout, in order to give context to the fashions worn by the people depicted near those places; there are even people superimposed over identified cruise, air and rail lines out in the Pacific or in neighboring states, to show off travel fashions. The bulk of the issue runs from p. 71-122; all the rest is advertising, mostly for industries and stores related to clothing and dress.

Book Synopsis California Design, 1930¿1965 Living In a Modern Way by : Wendy Kaplan
Download or read book California Design, 1930¿1965 Living In a Modern Way written by Wendy Kaplan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive examination of California''s mid-century modern design, generously illustrated. In 1951, designer Greta Magnusson Grossman observed that California design was "not a superimposed style, but an answer to present conditions.... It has developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way." California design influenced the material culture of the entire country, in everything from architecture to fashion. This generously illustrated book, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive examination of California''s mid-century modern design. It begins by tracing the origins of a distinctively California modernism in the 1930s by such European émigrés as Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, and Kem Weber; it finds other specific design influences and innovations in solid-color commercial ceramics, inspirations from Mexico and Asia, new schools for design training, new concepts about leisure, and the conversion of wartime technologies to peacetime use (exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames''s plywood and fiberglass furniture). The heart of California Design is the modern California home, famously characterized by open plans conducive to outdoor living. The layouts of modernist homes by Pierre Koenig, Craig Ellwood, and Raphael Soriano, for example, were intended to blur the distinction between indoors and out. Homes were furnished with products from Heath Ceramics, Van Keppel-Green, and Architectural Pottery as well as other, previously unheralded companies and designers. Many objects were designed to be multifunctional: pool and patio furniture that was equally suitable indoors, lighting that was both task and ambient, bookshelves that served as room dividers, and bathing suits that would turn into ensembles appropriate for indoor entertainment. California Design includes 350 images, most in color, of furniture, ceramics, metalwork, architecture, graphic and industrial design, film, textiles, and fashion, and ten incisive essays that trace the rise of the California design aesthetic. of wartime technologies to peacetime use (exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames''s plywood and fiberglass furniture).

Download or read book Regulating Style written by Kedron Thomas and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion knockoffs are everywhere. Even in the out-of-the-way markets of highland Guatemala, fake branded clothes offer a cheap, stylish alternative for people who cannot afford high-priced originals. Fashion companies have taken notice, ensuring that international trade agreements include stronger intellectual property protections to prevent brand “piracy.” In Regulating Style, Kedron Thomas approaches the fashion industry from the perspective of indigenous Maya people who make and sell knockoffs, asking why they copy and wear popular brands, how they interact with legal frameworks and state institutions that criminalize their livelihood, and what is really at stake for fashion companies in the global regulation of style.
