Arguing against positions that classify both material and conceptual features within the single area of ‘‘deconstructivist’’ fashion, it proposes Malabou’s plasticity as an additional methodology to Derridean deconstruction. By utilizing Malabou’s plasticity and introducing the concept/process of de-design(ing), the project claims deconstruction to be a twofold process: 1.The technical de-designing of a garment 2.The conceptual deconstruction caused by the de-designed garment. In terms of its designers, the thesis applies these two processes to the unconventional garments of what it classifies as three different waves of deconstructivist fashion: Japanese, Belgian and Turkish. The thesis also proposes the emergence of a third wave deconstructivist fashion by focusing on the unconventional designs of Bora Aksu and Hussein Chalayan. To study these designs of the third wave and further examples of the previous two waves, the thesis utilizes designer and curator interviews, observation of Turkish local wears and motifs and garments displayed on exhibitions and fashion shows as primary research. The thesis focuses on the concepts of transformation/metamorphosis and culture to establish links between the third wave and the first and second wave designers as well as within the third wave itself. Further, it studies the garments of deconstructivist design from a wider framework, which positions the thesis closer to a cultural studies approach. 4 Acknowledgements My sincerest gratitude and appreciation to my family and Aksel George Epik, who will forever be blessed with the difference he made in my life… With Great Patience… 5 List of Figures Fig. 1.

  • Can I Recognize My Body's Weight? the Influence of Shape and Texture on the Perception of Self
    Can I Recognize My Body’s Weight? The Influence of Shape and Texture on the Perception of Self IVELINA V. PIRYANKOVA, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics 13 JEANINE K. STEFANUCCI, University of Utah JAVIER ROMERO, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems STEPHAN DE LA ROSA, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics MICHAEL J. BLACK, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems BETTY J. MOHLER, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics The goal of this research was to investigate women’s sensitivity to changes in their perceived weight by altering the body mass index (BMI) of the participants’ personalized avatars displayed on a large-screen immersive display. We created the personal- ized avatars with a full-body 3D scanner that records the participants’ body geometry and texture. We altered the weight of the personalized avatars to produce changes in BMI while keeping height, arm length, and inseam fixed and exploited the corre- lation between body geometry and anthropometric measurements encapsulated in a statistical body shape model created from thousands of body scans. In a 2 × 2 psychophysical experiment, we investigated the relative importance of visual cues, namely shape (own shape vs. an average female body shape with equivalent height and BMI to the participant) and texture (own photo- realistic texture or checkerboard pattern texture) on the ability to accurately perceive own current body weight (by asking the participant, “Is it the same weight as you?”). Our results indicate that shape (where height and BMI are fixed) had little effect on the perception of body weight. Interestingly, the participants perceived their body weight veridically when they saw their own photo-realistic texture.

  • Women Surrealists: Sexuality, Fetish, Femininity and Female Surrealism
    WOMEN SURREALISTS: SEXUALITY, FETISH, FEMININITY AND FEMALE SURREALISM BY SABINA DANIELA STENT A Thesis Submitted to THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music The University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to challenge the patriarchal traditions of Surrealism by examining the topic from the perspective of its women practitioners. Unlike past research, which often focuses on the biographical details of women artists, this thesis provides a case study of a select group of women Surrealists – chosen for the variety of their artistic practice and creativity – based on the close textual analysis of selected works. Specifically, this study will deal with names that are familiar (Lee Miller, Meret Oppenheim, Frida Kahlo), marginal (Elsa Schiaparelli) or simply ignored or dismissed within existing critical analyses (Alice Rahon). The focus of individual chapters will range from photography and sculpture to fashion, alchemy and folklore. By exploring subjects neglected in much orthodox male Surrealist practice, it will become evident that the women artists discussed here created their own form of Surrealism, one that was respectful and loyal to the movement’s founding principles even while it playfully and provocatively transformed them.

    Course Syllabus & Itinerary, THTR 216, Maymester 2015 The Art, History, & Business of London Fashion We will explore many facets of the business of style that make London one of the most cutting-edge and influential fashion capitals of the world. Our study will begin with an overview of fashion history and its connection to the fine and decorative arts. We will learn about the origins of Haute Couture, from its roots in England and France in the 19th century, to today’s well known designers and trendsetters who have kept this cosmopolitan city at the forefront of the industry. Dynamic British designers from the 20th and 21st century at the heart of our study, who have continually pushed boundaries and changed rules of etiquette in their quest for fashion to mirror political, economic, and sociopolitical changes in society, include: Charles Frederick Worth, considered to be the father of Haute Couture; Mary Quant and her mini-skirt revolution; Vivienne Westwood and her influence on the world of punk fashion; Alexander McQueen and his creation of artful garments; and Stella McCartney and her ethical, sustainable approach to design. Excursions will include trips to: world renowned museums, to study works of fine and decorative art and historic examples of clothing; theatrical performances, to compare the theatricality of stage costumes and the principles of stage design to both runway and everyday fashion; the Making of Harry Potter, to see how designers create artful film designs; and a variety of commercial fashion venues, in which contemporary

    THE NEW MILLENNIUM ERA: THE FUTURE OF TEXTILES By Sarah E. Braddock Clarke TOKYO ZOKEI UNIVERSITY – 23 June 2016 Going back to the 1960s (and 1967 to be precise) British fashion designer Mary Quant said: “Some day we will blow clothes the way we blow glass. It’s ridiculous that fabric should be cut up to make a flat thing go round a round person.” At the very end of the 1990s there were many predictions for what the clothing of the new millennium would look like - The French fashion designer Thierry Mugler said: “The future of fashion? It has none. The trend is no fashion. We are getting nakeder and nakeder.” Continuing with that theme the French philosopher Jean Baudrillard said: “In this new erotic world every illusionistic element is missing (…) the body is present, even over-exposed, but only as part of the technical equipment.” And British designer John Galliano thought that: “The only way to get forward in fashion is to return to construction.” While Karl Lagerfeld believes the future of fashion is in the textiles used… Slide List OPENING 1.

  • Cecil Beaton (1904–80) Was One of the Great Creative Figures of the British Twentieth Century
    Access Guide Please return at the end of your visit We hope this guide supports your visit. Please speak to any member of staff for more information. VERSION 2 Map Entrance Contents TBC Introduction Cecil Beaton (1904–80) was one of the great creative figures of the British twentieth century. Chiefly known as a photographer of portraits and fashion, through his work for Vogue magazine from 1924 to 1979, he was also recognised as a significant war photographer. An illustrator and caricaturist, a writer and commentator on taste and manners, Beaton was a theatre designer and art director of world renown and an influential stylist of his own homes. This exhibition focuses on Beaton’s early years. Born in Hampstead to a then prosperous timber merchant, Ernest Beaton and his wife Esther (‘Etty’), Cecil was first given a camera in 1914, aged ten. His first subjects were his mother and his willing sisters, Nancy and Barbara (‘Baba’). His transformation from middle-class suburban schoolboy to dazzling society figure against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties and the Age of Jazz revealed a social mobility barely thinkable before the First World War. Here, then, are the Bright Young Things who brought an extraordinary era vividly to life and in so doing, nurtured and refined a remarkable photographic talent. The strength of his singular vision is such that, when we think of the Bright Young Things, we think of them in Beaton’s costumes, through Beaton’s lens and as Beaton’s friends. For full details of all events please see the What’s On guide or npg.org.uk/events Friday 20 March, 19.00 Lecture ‘When I die I want to go to Vogue’: Cecil Beaton’s Most Enduring Patron with Robin Muir Curator Robin Muir looks at the Cecil Beaton’s long working relationship with Vogue.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 2 WINDOW SHOPPING: COMMERCIAL INSPIRATION FOR FASHION IN THE MUSEUM In his work on the “exhibitionary complex,” Tony Bennett (1996) showed how nineteenth-century museums and galleries were intimately connected in their design and conception to the expanding commercial architecture of the same period. The technical possibilities and visual experiences of industrial exhibitions and shopping arcades found analogous applications in museum spaces. As Mackie noted, “Both the retail shop and the public repository are designed for the display of information that is predominantly visual: looking is a means for possession as well as knowledge” (1996: 325). This blurring of commercial and intellectual cultures within the museum continues to create unease and controversy, particularly in the case of fashion exhibitions (Anaya 2013; Gamerman 2014). This chapter investigates how the introduction of fashion—an increasingly important economic and social product in the industrial period—into museums created new connections and tensions between these two worlds. It was because of its position between the disciplines of economy and history that historical fashion entered and was interpreted in museums.
