Accompanying a major exhibition at The Museum at FIT, Latin
American and Latinx Fashion Design Today: ¡Moda Hoy! examines
Latin American and Latinx fashion design from the past 20 years,
asking “What is Latin American fashion design in the 21st
century”? The book seeks to explore the sociohistorical
influences and cultural dynamics that have propelled the
development of the unique sartorial bricolage that is Latin
American and Latinx fashion. Through a series of themes and topics
favored by contemporary designers – including Indigenous
heritage, art, sustainable design, politics, gender, elegance, and
popular culture – it highlights established designers with a
strong international presence, such as Isabel Toledo, Carolina
Herrera, Rick Owens, Oscar de la Renta, Carla Fernández, and
Gabriela Hearst. Accompanied by regional brands and emerging
talents, and case studies that take an in-depth look into specific
designers, and beautifully illustrated in full color throughout,
Latin American and Latinx Fashion Design Today is essential reading
for fashion enthusiasts who have an overlapping interest in Latin
American studies, and all who appreciate the history and visual
culture of fashion and Latin America.
Food and Fashion accompanies a major exhibition at The Museum at
FIT, New York's only museum dedicated solely to the art of fashion.
This beautifully illustrated book featuring over 100 enticing
full-color images, from fashion runways to fine art photography and
period cookbooks, examines the influence of food culture through
the lens of fashion over the last 250 years. It focuses on the ways
that food culture has expressed itself in fashion and how these
connect to broader socio-cultural change, examining how vital both
have been in expressing cultural movements across centuries, and
specifically exploring the role food plays in fashionable
expression. With its superb selection of images, and
thought-provoking and engaging discussion, Food and Fashion appeals
to fashion enthusiasts who have an overlapping interest in food and
food studies, including scholars and students, those who enjoy the
fashion of food, and all who appreciate the visual culture of food,
fashion, and art.
