  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

  • The Morgue File 2010
    the morgue file 2010 DONE BY: ASSIL DIAB 1850 1900 1850 to 1900 was known as the Victorian Era. Early 1850 bodices had a Basque opening over a che- misette, the bodice continued to be very close fitting, the waist sharp and the shoulder less slanted, during the 1850s to 1866. During the 1850s the dresses were cut without a waist seam and during the 1860s the round waist was raised to some extent. The decade of the 1870s is one of the most intricate era of women’s fashion. The style of the early 1870s relied on the renewal of the polonaise, strained on the back, gath- ered and puffed up into an detailed arrangement at the rear, above a sustaining bustle, to somewhat broaden at the wrist. The underskirt, trimmed with pleated fragments, inserting ribbon bands. An abundance of puffs, borders, rib- bons, drapes, and an outlandish mixture of fabric and colors besieged the past proposal for minimalism and looseness. women’s daywear Victorian women received their first corset at the age of 3. A typical Victorian Silhouette consisted of a two piece dress with bodice & skirt, a high neckline, armholes cut under high arm, full sleeves, small waist (17 inch waist), full skirt with petticoats and crinoline, and a floor length skirt. 1894/1896 Walking Suit the essential “tailor suit” for the active and energetic Victorian woman, The jacket and bodice are one piece, but provide the look of two separate pieces. 1859 zouave jacket Zouave jacket is a collarless, waist length braid trimmed bolero style jacket with three quarter length sleeves.

The course falls under an emerging area of design necessity.

The course is based on the core subject – “Design Thinking” with an aim of creating a ‘Responsible Designer’. This programme provides a perspective of society, environment, education, technology and innovation so that a fresh and unique approach in the fields of clothing, accessories and furnishings may be developed thereby creating more meaningful products and experiences. The syllabus of the course is designed in such a way that it provides skill development required to be a successful fashion designer along with entrepreneurial skills to set up their own venture.

    1850-1900 1901-1919 1920 The Morgue File Bailey Lovell 1930 1940 1950 1960 Victorian Era (1850-1900) The Victorian Era was quite literally named after Queen Victoria who reigned from 1837-1901. During this time, the British empire abolished slavery which freed more than 800,000 slaves at the time. Travel was revolutionized by the invention of the steam powered railway. Queen Victoria led London into a sixteen year long mourning after the death of her husband which revolutionized the way civilians dressed. The style of dress was very muted colors with no shine to the jewelry worn and London was very somber during this time. Corsets were very important during this time and shaped the way the woman’s body would be for the rest of her life. Many women during the day would keep themselves occupied by changing up to seven times throughout the day for their daily activities including horseback riding and tea time. The fashion world was revolutionized by the invention of the sewing machine which led to the first every fashion designer, Charles Worth.Charles Worth was the inventor of the polonaise skirt and began to use real women as models which he called mannequins. He also designed for Queen Victoria herself and other royalty. The crinoline was also invented during the Victorian Era which created the full skirt which needed lots of assistance to put on and take off.

  • Sicilian Chinese Art Collections and Chinoiserie
    ARCHITETTURA, ARTI E PIANIFICAZIONE DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA L-ART 04 – MUSEOLOGIA E CRITICA ARTISTICA E DEL RESTAURO SICILIAN CHINESE ART COLLECTIONS AND CHINOISERIE IL DOTTORE IL COORDINATORE Mei Xiaoxue Prof. Marco Rosario Nobile IL TUTOR CO TUTOR Prof. Pierfrancesco Palazzotto Dr. Alexander Auf der Heyde CICLO XXX 2018 ABSTRACT L'Europa ha creato uno stile unico di design decorativo nei secoli XVII-XVIII che è stato profondamente ispirato allo stile orientale di Cina, Giappone e India. Lo stile europeo è rimasto sconosciuto alla Cina in quel momento, ed è anche raramente menzionato nella storia dell'arte moderna e del design cinese. Tuttavia, la Chinoiserie ha rappresentato un tema ricorrente all'interno degli stili artistici europei, che non si presenta come una moda regionale, ma bensì come un movimento d'arte complesso e variabile in tutta Europa. La significativa ricerca sul design Chinoiserie è stata intrapresa nei XX-XXI secoli, con centinaia di monografie e articoli pubblicati in inglese, francese, tedesco e italiano, discutendo direttamente e indirettamente della Chinoiserie. La Sicilia, la più grande isola del Mediterraneo, ha un brillante patrimonio storico e culturale. Nella prima metà del XIX secolo, la Sicilia e il Regno di Napoli furono uniti nel Regno delle Due Sicilie dalla Casa di Borbone. La Chinoiserie fu introdotta in Sicilia un po' più tardi come stile decorativo ben sviluppato dopo essere stato influenzato in un certo grado negli altri paesi europei. Nonostante il numero limitato di prodotti orientali in Sicilia, le opere d'arte uniche qui sono encomiabili. Questa tesi interpreta la Chinoiserie Siciliana in quattro aspetti principali: le opere d‘arte tradizionali della Cina, i prodotti cinesi di esportazione, i prodotti mimetici dell‘Europa e la Chinoiserie siciliana all'interno del movimento d'arte europeo.

In this thesis, I will explore the private troupe of Li Mingrui (1585-1671)—known for performing Mudan ting and Moling chun (Spring in Moling) by Wu Weiye (1609-71)—and endeavor to discover how the spectators interpreted performances by this troupe.

I am grateful for the opportunity of being able to examine the instrument and music collections of the Sheffield., York Castlep Keighley,, Cyfarthfa and East Yorkshire Regimental museums. Acknowledgment is also given for the assistance received from the Sheffield Central Library (commerce and science and local history departments), Eanchester Central Librarys and espec- ially for the British Museum Reading Room and the University of Sheffield Main Library staff. From a practical point, acknowledgment is given to Boosey and Hawkes for a generous research grant as well as an extended personal tour of their facilities and to the University of S%effield research fund. Visits to 'Wright and Round, publishers of brass band music, have also been rewarding. Active partici- pation with the Stocksbridgep Sheffield Recreation and Staveley Works brass'bands has also proved valuable as well as the associ- ation with mmerous other bands,, notably Stalybridges and countless bandsmen. Finallys appreciation is expressed to the faculty, staff and students of the music department. The loss of Dr. Phillip Lord was a personal loss; the guidance of Professor Deane has been an inspiration. To my vifep Jan. and the childrenp go my special thanks for their patience and understanding. Jack L.
