John Galliano is working silently in the Paris studio with his friend and ally, the master milliner Stephen Jones. The designer is looking at the arc of a silhouette, the drape of a skirt and the tilt of a hat: 'I often work through a mirror for most of my decisions and I always see Stephen's reflection,' says Galliano. 'He is reading my every nuance. He is studying my face. I don't need to say anything - he can read my mind'." - From the essay by Suzy Menkes. Stephen Jones is one of the world's most talented and distinguished milliners. This exquisitely illustrated monograph is the first to examine his illustrious career and famous collaborations. Including photographs from private collections and museums, the book focuses on a variety of aspects of his work, from his collaborations with Boy George, John Galliano and Thierry Mugler to his work with photographers Bruce Weber and Nick Knight.

  • Political Challenges in the Neo-Burlesque Spectacle
    WiN: The EAAS Women’s Network Journal Issue 2 (2020) Cyberlesqued Re/Viewings: Political Challenges in the Neo-burlesque Spectacle Mariza Tzouni ABSTRACT: Provided that the 1990s was characterized as an era of newness with the insertion of extreme technological advances, the rise of multiculturalism, new media expansion and the appearance of the World Wide Web, neo-burlesque appeared as an all-new form of entertainment which de/re/contextualized the act of viewing. Burlesque has been metamorphosed through the occurrence of neo-burlesque as an attempt to stress newness into the old; that is to re-generate a nationalized theatrical sub/genre to an inter/nationalized cyber/spectacle which re/acts against the sociopolitical distresses of the twenty-first century. Initiated with the Yahoo Group along with a plethora of online groups and blogs which have sprung till then, the Internet manages to weave a nexus among producers, performers and fans inter/nationally. It has also enabled neo-burlesque to cross over the national borders and break those barriers which were formerly narrowed to mainly the U.S theatrical reality. In this milieu, the rise of social media; namely, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, have facilitated both the performers’ and the spectators’ re/viewings since the former can re/present and promote their neo-burlesque pieces as well as advertise their campaigns and products increasing in this way their popularity while the latter, in their turn, can be informed about the performers’ recent activities, purchase goods or follow their accounts as evidence of support or even condemnation. Moreover, YouTube has revolutionized spectatorship since neo-burlesque performers of versatile performing styles, age, race and body sizes launch their work in order to gain popular appeal through the gathering of views claiming in this way an increase of paychecks and attendance to distinguished events and venues.

  • Inspiration and Vision
    SALVATORE FERRAGAMO INSPIRATION AND VISION Museo Salvatore Ferragamo 27 May 2011 - 12 March 2012 “We are all flowing with the eternal tide, and of the eternal tide only is there no end.” From Shoemaker of Dreams, the autobiography of Salvatore Ferragamo (ed. Skira 2010) On the 26th of May 2011, Museo Salvatore Ferragamo will inaugurate a new exhibition and museum layout in Florence’s historic Palazzo Spini Feroni, the brand’s headquarters since 1938. The first two rooms of the museum will be devoted to the history and work of Salvatore Ferragamo, with a rotating display of his most creative women’s shoes, styles that best reflect his work, in order to satiate the curiosity of the many Ferragamo fans and lovers of women’s shoes. The remaining rooms will host the exhibitions organised by the museum, covering a plethora of new aspects with one common denomi- nator: taking inspiration from the story of Ferragamo and his celebrated shoes. SALVATORE FERRAGAMO: INSPIRATION AND VISION. THE WORKS ON DISPLAY This project is the most complex ever to be undertaken by Museo Salvatore Ferragamo. Not consider- ing the museum’s permanent collection, in which 102 different shoe styles will be shown, in addition to documents, photographs and the lasts made for Ferragamo’s famous customers, the actual exhibition will comprise 255 pieces, including 99 Salvatore Ferragamo shoes dating back to the 1920’s through to the end of 1950, along with 156 works of art from public and private collections, not only in Florence and Italy, but around the world.

Creative Commons License “I Am Your Faggot Anti-Pope”: An Exploration of Marilyn Manson as a Transgres... 1 “I Am Your Faggot Anti-Pope”: An Exploration of Marilyn Manson as a Transgressive Artist Coco d’Hont 1 “As a performer,” Marilyn Manson announced in his autobiography, “I wanted to be the loudest, most persistent alarm clock I could be, because there didn’t seem to be any other way to snap society out of its Christianity- and media-induced coma” (Long Hard Road 80).i With this mission statement, expressed in 1998, the performer summarized a career characterized by harsh-sounding music, disturbing visuals, and increasingly controversial live performances. At first sight, the red thread running through the albums he released during the 1990s is a harsh attack on American ideologies. On his debut album Portrait of an American Family (1994), for example, Manson criticizes ideological constructs such as the nuclear family, arguing that the concept is often used to justify violent pro-life activism.ii Proclaiming that “I got my lunchbox and I’m armed real well” and that “next motherfucker’s gonna get my metal,” he presents himself as a personification of teenage angst determined to destroy his bullies, be they unfriendly classmates or the American government.

Cassaro, MA, MLS, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Music Deane L. Root, PhD, Professor of Music Todd W.

Rather than aligning with either the conservative moral panics or liberal arguments regarding free speech, I suggest that productive alternative understandings exist outside of this oppositional binary. Focusing on Marilyn Manson, particularly, I analyze how various performances open up a space of potentiality for greater imaginings of embodiment and erotics. The music of Marilyn Manson presents a scathing critique of the cultural landscape of the United States in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

  • Hats: an Anthology by Stephen Jones 24 February – 10 May 2009
    Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones 24 February – 10 May 2009 Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones is a collaboration between the V&A and one of the world’s foremost hat designers, Stephen Jones. The exhibition will display more than 300 hats chosen with the expert eye of a milliner. On display will be hats ranging from an Egyptian Anubis mask dating from 600BC to a 1950s Balenciaga hat and couture creations by Jones and his contemporaries. To show the universal appeal and delight of wearing hats, Jones has included a wide variety of styles including top hats, berets and a child’s plastic tiara. Displayed in a magical, box-hedged, Baroque garden setting, Hats an Anthology will be the V&A’s first exhibition devoted to hats, with many pieces from its extensive hat collection on display for the first time. Inspiration , the first section of the exhibition, will open with Prince Albert’s top hat and Queen Victoria’s bonnet, and looks at how the past has inspired countless designers. It will show historic and contemporary interpretations of hat styles such as the tricorn, bowler, baseball cap, bonnet, skull cap and many more. It will also look at common themes explored by milliners such as exoticism, modernism and the natural world. Creation will show how hats are made and the traditions, innovations and practices at the heart of millinery. This area will be set up like a milliner’s workroom with patterns, sketches, materials and millinery blocks. The Salon will reflect the milliner’s public showcase, featuring spectacular hats that show the craft at its sartorial best.
