Placing Irish work within an international context allows us to consider how processes and materials in Ireland both correlate and contrast with those of other countries. Hi! Fashion explores and celebrates the commonalities and diferences in fashion design between Ireland and another island nation, Japan. Both countries have long histories of craft and tradition, with a cultural reach far beyond their own shores. This exhibition of garments and accessories from the two islands highlights mutual infuences as well as exchange of materials and techniques over the past six decades. We invited Gemma A. Williams to curate Hi! Fashion, in collaboration with ROJI, to draw together the threads of the two nations’ textile and cultural connections to mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Ireland and Japan. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Japan Foundation for their support and to those who kindly provided garments on loan for Hi! Fashion.

    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.

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.
