An exploration of how the rose-the most ravishingly beautiful and
symbolic of flowers-has inspired fashion over hundreds of years The
Rose in Fashion: Ravishing is a fascinating exploration of how the
rose has inspired the way we look, dress, feel, and fantasize. It
foregrounds innovative, refined, and challenging fashion design
from elite 18th-century woven silks to the latest gender-neutral
catwalk trends and Alexander McQueen rose dresses. Drawing upon
fashion clothing, everyday dress, millinery, fine jewelry, perfume,
and artificial and fresh roses, multiple expert contributors make
reference to love, beauty, sex, sin, gendered identities, rites of
passage, transgression, degradation, and death. This sumptuously
illustrated book also includes a contribution and stunning images
of roses by visionary photographer Nick Knight. Wild yet
cultivated, savage yet delicate, this flower has remained an
enduring symbol perhaps due to its versatility and the dichotomies
it represents.
