Elsa Schiaparelli
by Francois Baudot
Gabrielle Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli both had enormous influence in all the spheres in which they orbited, and both left a permanent mark on the taste of our time. Elsa, nicknamed Schiap, was truly grand; her mother was a Neapolitan aristocrat, her father a renowned scholar and bibliophile. From childhood, Schiaparelli browsed through the priceless illuminated manuscripts curated by her father, developing a lifetime passion for the makers of fine art, many of whose talents she employed in the magnificent fashion house she created at an early age. Schiap started her career in New York, and, during the Jazz Age, she opened a small shop near the Place Vendome where she sold her first collection devoted to sportswear, then all the rage for liberated women. Inspired by the geometrical vocabulary of art deco and cubism, taking advantage of the flexibility of new synthetic fibers, and inspired by the paintings of Picasso, Braque, and Mondrian, Schiap created a sensation. Schiap's career didn't really survive World War II, since a shattered public was no longer in tune with the eccentricities of the Jazz Age. Schiap's comet-like appearance remains a main event of fashion history and is succinctly and elegantly documented in this book.

Marketing Modernisms : The Architecture and Influence of Charles Reilly (Qty: 3)
RICHMOND
LIVERPOOL U P, 25-0. Brand new. Architect, teacher, journalist, town planner and cultural entrepreneur, Sir Charles Reilly (1874�61948) was a leading figure of the early twentieth-century British architectural scene. Marketing Modernisms is the first book to take an in-depth look at Reilly�2s career, tracing his evolving architectural ethos via a series of case studies of his built work. Among other issues, the author considers Reilly�2s involvement in cultural enterprises such as the establishment of the Liverpool Repertory Theatre, his journalism, transatlantic links and town-planning theories. Reilly has been largely overlooked by writers of Modernist histories, but this book restores him to deserved prominence. ( more information)
