Creative Dressing Book of Designer Looks 1980s Fashion

Description

Creative Dressing – The Unique Collection of Top Designer Looks That You Can Make Yourself – by Kaori O’Connor
Pub 1980, 1981 by Routledge & Kegan Paul. 192 pages. Color photos, cutting and knitting paterns.

Collectible 1980s “passport to the inner circle of fashion”, reads the inside dust cover.

What are designer fabrics, and how can you make them work for you? Why is color a designer’s best friend? What is the fascinating history of Fair Isle knitting? Why do designers copy the exotic clothes of other cultures? Do your moods determine the clothes you look best in?

Headings include:

Transcultural Clothes, Fabric and Surface Design, Design ands Designers, Machine Knitting, Handknitting and Technological Chic, The Wedding Dress, and profiles of designers Kaffe Fassett, Bruce Oldfield, Heinz Edgar Kiewe, Sara Fermi, Antony Kwock and others. There is a strong emphasis on knitting techniques, so knitters will find this book especially useful, but it’s a great book for students of fashion and textiles and exotic dressing.

There is some wear to the surface of the dust cover and a tear on lower corner on back, but the hardcover and inside are clean with no marks.

Overseas customers, I am happy to sell to you and accept Paypal only for these transactions.
