In over 400 fully illustrated pages, authors Lucy Hammonds, Douglas Lloyd Jenkins and Claire Regnault reveal the wealth of stories that underpin the development of New Zealand's unique fashion design history. They showcase the talents and undeniable flair of a wide range of New Zealand fashion designers, from the well-known to those who have slipped out of the public eye. At the same time the book explores the key social shifts that empowered change in fashion, offering a new view of a vital and exciting branch of New Zealand design culture. Shortlisted for the 2011 NZ Post Book Awards. -- Contents: Introduction; 1. The Nineteen Forties: Stepping Out; 2. The Nineteen Fifties: After Frocks; 3. The Nineteen Sixties: In Vogue; 4. The Nineteen Seventies: A Fabulous Mess; 5. The Nineteen Eighties: On the Make; 6. The Nineteen Nineties: Search for a Style; 7. The Two Thousands: Our Fashion Moment; The Finer Details [Endnotes; Key Sources & Selected Bibliography; Credits; Acknowledgements; A Note from Deborah Smith; Index] -- "Contrary to popular opinion, New Zealand Fashion didn't begin in the late 1990s when four designers were sent to the London catwalks and created a stir with their stylish dark garments. Its history is in fact a long and rich one, and no one tells it better than the team of Douglas Lloyd Jenkins, Claire Regnault and Lucy Hammonds, all three of whom are experts in the field, and who spent over three years tracking down our overlooked and in some cases entirely forgotten fashion pioneers and heroes. The treasure-trove of fabulous frocks, coats, ballgowns and bijou pieces they bring back into the light are stunning in their creativity, giving the lie to the notion that we've always been a nation of bad dressers. The stories they tell of dedication, passion, of triumph and of disaster are part of our rich history.". Codice articolo 006172
