Shirts, Skirts and Shoes: Design Line

Description

This book of concertina fold-out books features one hundred iconic examples of creative excellence from the world of women's fashion. The history of design is illuminated with a visually accessible timeline that can be read back to front, top to bottom and right to left. Brought to life by fashion illustrator Sanna Mander, this book is a stylish tribute to the outstanding things we wear every day.

Sanna Mander is an illustrator and designer of print media, textiles and ceramics. In 2006 she won the Cannes Young Creatives award, and has since worked for clients including The Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine and Rolling Stone Magazine. She lives and works in Finland.

Whilst this volume only covers the last 100 years or so, it is a work of art; folding out to over two metres and forming the perfect museum backdrop. We've spent some extremely happy creative sessions discussing our favourite designs and again emulating these styles for dolls with simple (no sew) off-cuts of fabric, ribbons and a few items I've had since I was a child. We've explored the Edwardian, the '20s and the '50s and 60's. Simple and so much fun... * Culture Baby *
