"Fashion
- à la Mode: The Pop-Up History of Costumes and Dresses"
by Isabelle de Borchgrave
Hardcover, 13
pages, color illustrations with many moving parts and inclusions
Fashion
- à la Mode is a thirteen “page” book divided chronologically
into themes. Each theme has a one or two page spread, and the spread
includes a related scene, dolls, fashion accessories, and historical
information on the garments, costumes, and practices of that time.
The themes covered in this book include: Egypt, the Elizabethan Period,
18th century France, the Victorian Opera, the Kimono, Chanel and the
Liberation of women’s clothing, and fashion as art.
This
book covers a vast range of interests and possibilities - let me count
the ways! Most obviously, it will appeal to those who love costumes,
fashion, and wearable art. Pop-up book collectors and doll lovers
and will also be thrilled. Interest in this book will also extend
to collage, assemblage and book artists. The many moveable elements
and removable pieces will make interesting additions to other projects,
if desired, and the book is a fabulous base for an art book project.
Incorporate what’s already there, or strip the book of its elements
for use elsewhere and use the base as a starting point for an entirely
new book project.
Moving
parts and removable pieces make this volume a joy to explore! There
are approximately fifteen parts that are removable (without having
to cut), and approximately thirty-five moveable parts.
This
book is truly exquisite, making it a beautiful gift, an extra-special
addition to your library, or a goldmine of art accessories. You may
want to buy two copies - with this book it’s better to give AND
receive!
