http://shatteredsilkblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/drawing-fashion-influential-favorites.html

Dress and Textiles in Museums, Media and Memory. Wednesday, October 17, 2012. Drawing Fashion: Influential Favorites Rediscovered. Drawing Fashions by Dawn Stoutsenberger. 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. While at art school, I dabbled in fashion c...

Fashion from a different point of view. Weihnachten ist nicht immer schön …. 1 Dezember 2014 18:56. Deutschlands (wahrscheinlich) größte Franchisekette von Tierfuttergeschäften hat sich eine schöne Aktion ausgedacht: wer mit einen mit Namen versehenen Freßnapf vorbei bringt, kann ihn Nikolaus gefüllt mit Leckerchen für den Liebling wieder abholen. Soweit, so gut. Da läuft doch grundsätzlich was falsch. Für Rentner, Arbeitslose, Kranke und Migranten. Nicht für alle, aber für viele. Leider hab ...Bei uns i...

Shattered Silk: Piles of Clothes

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 ...

Shattered Silk: May 2011

http://shatteredsilkblog.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

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...

Shattered Silk: Ghosts of Halloween Past

http://shatteredsilkblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/ghosts-of-halloween-past.html

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...

The Blog Behind the Self-Imposed Interrogation of Buysexuality, Smut-Art, and the Culture Who Hates to Love It All. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. A Quick Update: Thanks Brian. Thanks to a lovely Sir Brian, I was referred to this bloody brilliant documentary.  The guy's name is Edward Bernays. 160;and he possesses a frightening level of control over us, more than a decade after his freaking death.

Shattered Silk: March 2010

http://shatteredsilkblog.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

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! Labels: 19th century fashion. Museum of British ...

Shattered Silk: July 2011

http://shatteredsilkblog.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Dress and Textiles in Museums, Media and Memory. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. The Ballets Russes: Advertising inspiration in the 1920s. Above is an advertisement for Dubarry et Cie. Parfumeurs. In London which appeared in the October 1920 issue of British Vogue. The painted illustration at its centre was clearly closely modeled on the Ballets Russes photograph, taken six years before the advertisement was published. The Ballets Russes has been enjoying some intensity of attention in the past year, and is a ...
