Description:Published to accompany an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 15 April-14 June 1987. Contains texts written by Valerie D. Mendes and Frances M. Hinchcliffe.Lavishly illustrated, this book shows how the Aschers united elements from the complex worlds of fabrics, art and fashion, providing fashion designers with a constant flow of inventive textiles from the immediate post-war years until today. Art for Fabric, Zika Ascher's liaison with artists in the later 1940 which produced a remarkable series of screen-printed head squares, is investigated, and the works are illustrated in colour for the first time. The list of notables who designed these square reads like a roll call of mid twentieth-century art, and includes Christian B́erard, Alexander Calder, André Derain, Barbara Hepworth, Marie Laurencin, Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland and Feliks Topolski. Four immense printed linen wall panels of 1948 by Henry Moore and Henri Matisse represent the adventurous extremes to which Ascher took this artist/producer venture. Fabric begins with fabric. This part of the Ascher story highlights the firm's output from the 1940s. Illustrious designers including Hardy Amies, Balenciaga, Capucci, Cardin, Dior, Fabiani, Givenchy, Madame Grès, Lanvin-Castillo, Yves Saint Laurent and Mary Quant were supplied with selections of printed and woven textiles, which were starting points for their modish clothes. Full-scale fabric samples from the Ascher records are reproduced, alongside photographs of models wearing designer garments in the same materials, together offering a unique view of the varied uses of trend-setting fashion fabrics. Over forty years of fashion are documented, with styles ranging from the refined elegance of 1950s haute couture to the less mannered clothes of recent times. Eminent fashion photographers have allowed their work to be featured, thus giving a survey a particularly rich dimension.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
