Instructions on drawing the fashion figure. You wouldn't make it as a fashion illustrator in the mid-80s unless you could draw sequins. An archive of 1980s hairstyles for women - and the twinkle star eye that became my teenage drawing trademarl. After I went to the prom, I went to art school.

Judith Clark, Three Faces , Archivist Editions. Judith Clark, Archivist Editions 2014. The faces create an important unifying theme, interspersed with the garments’ fibres under the microscope (but that could easily be skin, conjuring ideas about different kinds of beautician’s masks surgical and non-surgical). The shoot ends on three stockinged heads: a heist, Leigh Bowery, Irving Penn’s photographs of mannequins for Diana Vreeland, Man Ray?

http://shatteredsilkblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/pile-of-clothes.html
Dress and Textiles in Museums, Media and Memory. Saturday, April 16, 2011. Boltanski's No Man's Land. It has I believe led me to become mesmerised by piles of clothes. Haphazard mounds of textile stuff. Not my own laundry, I'm afraid, but works of art where clothes are not precious, but somehow no less alluring. No Man's Land, Park Ave Armoury. Gatuea des Chausettes, at MADRE 2010. Pascale Martine Tayou's Gateau des Chausettes. A surreal thing that may be meal or bed or colony of cast-offs. Venere degli ...

Dress and Textiles in Museums, Media and Memory. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Memento Mori: Vivienne Westwood Anglomania MaryJanes by Melissa, 2 Pair. Shattered Silk today becomes a platform for confession of a fashion mishap, and a tribute to favourite shoes relegated to the recycling bin, or at least the dead shoe archive. I loved these shoes for their comfort and versatility, not only because they are featured in the book 50 Shoes That Changed the World. Earlier tonight, I nonchalantly tossed both pairs o...

Dress and Textiles in Museums, Media and Memory. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Ghosts of Halloween Past. Halloween, London 2007. It is yet again time for me to pull Shattered Silk up by the corset laces, and post more frequently. There has been no lack of topic ideas in my corner, so the only thing keeping me from the task has been time. Yawn. While this blog does not set out to be a personal portrait, I offer this post as a case study of costume and ritual. Hopefully this might inspire you to remember yo...

Dress and Textiles in Museums, Media and Memory. Tuesday, March 16, 2010. More Doris Langley Moore. I had seen this series of BBC documentaries on fashion history entitled What We Wore on VHS in the London College of Fashion Library. Where all of the clips can be viewed. This series was remarkable, not only for its insightful look at dress history in the contemporary context of 1957 Britain, but they were the first BBC programmes to be broadcast in colour!
