Description
| Experience the culture and art of the time through beautiful clothing from hundreds of years ago. The clothes we wear have undergone a long historical transition. For example, men's three-piece* suits have their roots in 1666. At that time, men wore a shirt and a short, tight [doublet] jacket and short trousers called [breeches]. King Charles II of England issued the Declaration of the Clothes Reformation, which led to the three-piece style of [coat (jacket)*trousers*vest] and [shirt*tie]. It was also after the French Revolution that the chic and simple masculine style of dressing that we see today was born. Until then, men also wore garments richly embellished with gorgeous lace, ribbons, and embroidery. Highly decorative clothing that is now considered [feminine] was at that time a symbol of wealth and a way for men to show off their beauty. Women's dress also changed dramatically after the French Revolution. The typical Rococo dress is the [robe*a*la*française]. It had large folds in the back called vatouplets, was made of expensive silk fabric with woven patterns, and was excessively decorated with lace, ribbons, and embroidery. After the French Revolution, aesthetics and values changed, with white chemise* dresses favored as if they were underwear. Clothing became simpler and less formal and functional. In this book, the author, a garment specimenist who disassembles centuries-old garments to make specimens and studies their structural beauty and comfort, explains what Western clothing looked like and how it changed before and after the French Revolution and since the mid-1700s, accompanied by a wealth of photographs. Details not found even in museums, such as close-ups of fabrics, backsides, stitching, buttons, and embroidery, as well as garment specimens of disassembled garment parts provide a glimpse into the inner workings of garments. It brings to light why dresses and men's clothing are beautiful and what the beauty of clothing is. For men, the waistcoat, juste cole, abi*a*la*française, un cloyable, carmagnole, m-notch, lounge suit, etc.; for women, robe*a*la*française, robe*a*langlaise, chemise*dress, crinoline, gigot*sleeve, visite, Bustle, and about 50 others. This book is recommended for clothing enthusiasts, history and art lovers, and creators. [Author's Introduction] Akiyoshi Hasegawa Clothing specimenist. [Organizer of the exhibition "Semi*Disassembled". [The exhibition "Semi*Disassembled" expresses the idea of "conveying the impression of 100 years ago to 100 years later," and creates a place where people can experience history and art through clothing and explore the roots of beauty. The artist disassembles old Western garments to create "specimens" and studies their "structural beauty" and "comfort". By generating patterns and embodying the beauty of garments from hundreds of years ago in the present day, he makes the beauty of clothing something that can be touched and experienced.
