In this
book Francesca Alfano Miglietti offers a collection of
everything that has created scandal, enthusiasm,
excitement and a sense of participation in fashion, and
examines the construction and de-construction of our
bodies and our identities, beginning with what we wear
and the relationship our clothes have with all that is
contemporary. In 44 interviews, previously published in
the Italian art magazine Virus, designers and
photographers define their concept of fashion. The
simple yet extravagant style of Ann Demeulemeester, the
multiethnic contaminations of Romeo Gigli, the nihilist
and aggressive look of Alexander McQueen, the erotic and
ironic play of Anna Molinari, the irreverence and
unpredictability of Jean-Paul Gaultier, the audacity of
the queen of fashion Vivienne Westwood, and more are
discussed and illustrated in this highly-readable and
visually delightful book.
