Documentary about eccentric English artist Andrew Logan, focusing
in particular on his creation of the now-cult event The Alternative
Miss World. In the exuberantly eclectic spirit of Logan's own
artwork, director Jes Benstock uses a mixed-media collage of
archive footage, photographs, animation and commentary from Logan
and various figureheads from the worlds of art, fashion, music and
theatre to give an insight into a world where the flamboyant, the
spectacular, the outrageous and the anarchic reign supreme.
Celebrating decades of achievement by one of the foremost names in
British fashion, whose vitality and influence continue to shine
Zandra Rhodes provides a luscious documentary of this leading
British designer, spanning her 50-year career in fashion and
textile design. The book showcases not only Rhodes's work but also
her vivid personality and creative energy. Both a fashion
trailblazer and a consummate textile designer, she has influenced
the work of contemporary labels such as Mary Katrantzou and Alice
Temperley. The book honors the centrality of textile design in
Rhodes's work, while exploring the versatility of her imagination
throughout her long career; contributors include Pierpaolo Piccioli
(creative director of Valentino), Suzy Menkes (editor of Vogue
International), and celebrated fashion designers Anna Sui and
Rajeev Sethi. It also commemorates the 50th anniversary of the
house of Zandra Rhodes, a British-owned and -made brand, and

The first major publication to explore the prolific career of Kaffe
Fassett, one of the most recognized names in contemporary craft and
design Kaffe Fassett (b. 1937) is one of the most recognized names
in contemporary craft and design with work encompassing knitting,
needlepoint, quilting, textile design, mosaic, painting, and
drawing. Fassett's sense of color and pattern has inspired makers
around the world; his early successes include knitwear designs for
fashion designers such as Bill Gibb and Missoni, and in more recent
years he has collaborated with the luxury fashion house Coach. His
inimitable eye can translate the most everyday of details into the
basis for one of his colorful, sophisticated, maximalist designs.
This book explores Fassett's career and work in context for the
first time, highlighting and widening the scope of his output over
more than five decades. Drawing on original artworks, photographs,
and archival material, it illuminates the work of this distinctive,
influential artist and designer. Essays from design and fashion
historians sit alongside striking visual material and insightful
interviews with Fassett that provide additional context about this
prolific artist. Published in association with the Fashion and
