Numerous designers have pioneered cutting-edge garments and
collections throughout the evolution of fashion. But all too often
a lack of obvious fit or purpose has been mistaken for a lack of
design sophistication. In an informed defence of innovative
fashion, Why You Can Go Out Dressed Like That champions the
improbable, the provocative, the uncomfortable and the seemingly
ridiculous. Inspired by diverse sources, theories and concepts, as
well as futuristic textiles and techniques, the book explores the
groundbreaking work of designers who strive to extend the
boundaries of their creativity. There are no fixed elements to the
100 designs featured in this book, which range from the cerebral
conceptions of Comme des Garcons, to the augmented anatomies of
Thierry Mugler and the exaggerated physicality of Thom Browne's
broad-shouldered men. The garments do not have to fulfil a
function, keep you warm, or increase sexual attraction, nor do they
have to beguile or disarm. They do need to have impact at the time
of creation and to prove influential in the longer term. Many
original designs elicit the response: `You can't go out dressed
like that!'. Marnie Fogg proves decisively that modern fashion is
not as outrageous and unwearable as it may seem.
