Cindy Sherman Anti-Fashion
Hannibal Books, 2024. HB, 295 x 230 mm, 184 pages, Color illustrations, ENG-NL edition. ISBN: 9789464941326
Een spiegel op mode en massamedia in ijzersterk fotografisch werk van Cindy Sherman. Het boek bij de eerste Cindy Shermantentoonstelling in de Lage Landen Cindy Sherman (°1954) staat bekend om haar baanbrekend werk in fotografie. Ze verkent thema?s als identiteit, gender en sociale rollen door zichzelf te transformeren in uiteenlopende personages en scènes. Anti-Fashion belicht haar fotografisch werk vanuit een nieuw perspectief, waarbij de focus ligt op de wisselwerking tussen mode en kunst. Haar vele opdrachten voor magazines als Vogue en Harper?sBazaar en haar nauwe samenwerking met beroemde ontwerpers vormen een voortdurende bron van inspiratie. Maar ook omgekeerd beïnvloedt deze hedendaagse kunstenaar de modewereld en geeft ze er belangrijke impulsen aan. Shermans interesse in mode komt op een subversieve manier tot uiting: haar foto?s tonen figuren die allesbehalve aantrekkelijk zijn en daardoor alle conventies van haute couture en de gebruikelijke voorstellingen van schoonheid tegenspreken. Het brede spectrum aan personages toont het kunstmatige en veranderlijke van identiteit, die meer dan ooit een kwestie van keuze lijken te zijn, (zelf)geconstrueerd en fluïde. Deze publicatie verschijnt bij de tentoonstelling Cindy Sherman, die loopt van 28 september 2024 tot 2 februari 2025 in FOMU, Antwerpen.

Cindy Sherman Anti-Fashion
Hannibal Books, 2024. HB, 295 x 230 mm, 184 pages, Color illustrations, ENG-NL edition. ISBN: 9789464941326
A mirror on fashion and mass media in a powerful photographic work by Cindy Sherman. The book accompanying the first Cindy Sherman exhibition in the Low Countries Cindy Sherman (b. 1954) is known for her pioneering work in photography, through which she explores themes of identity, gender and social roles by transforming herself into different personas in a variety of staged scenes. Anti-Fashion approaches her photographic oeuvre from a new perspective, focusing on the interaction between fashion and art. She uses her many commissions for magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and her close collaboration with famous designers as a constant source of inspiration. Conversely, this contemporary artist also continues to influence the aesthetics of the fashion world today, providing essential impulses. Sherman expresses her interest in fashion in a subversive way: her photographs depict people that are anything but desirable, contradicting all conventions of haute couture and the usual representations of beauty. Her wide range of characters shows the artificiality and mutability of identity, which seems more selectable, (self-) constructed and fluid than ever before. Companion publication to the exhibition Cindy Sherman at FOMU (Fotomuseum Antwerpen) from 28 September 2024 until 2 February 2025.

Leder, fetisj en strakke uniformen, maar ook kitsch, kunst en sensuele plooien? De wereld van A.F. Vandevorst is eindeloos rijk. In 1987 ontmoeten An Vandevorst en Filip Arickx elkaar op de Antwerpse Academie voor Schone Kunsten. Tien jaar later richten ze hun eigen modelabel op en tonen ze hun eerste collectie in Parijs. Nauw verwant aan de Antwerpse Zes groeiden ze intussen uit tot Belgies meest edgy designerduo met internationale erkenning tot in Rusland en werkten ze samen met de groten der aarde, onder wie de flamboyante hoedenontwerper Stephen Jones. De esthetiek van A.F. Vandevorst is het resultaat van hun sterke liefde voor de beeldende kunst, muziek en literatuur en hun grote interesse in culturele archetypes. Dit boek focust op hun uiteenlopende inspiratiebronnen, zoals Joseph Beuys, de militaire en medische wereld, het uniform en Japan. Ook de invloed van muzikant Blixa Bargeld (Einsturzende Neubauten/Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) is sterk aanwezig in hun artistieke filosofie. Op een intuitieve manier biedt deze publicatie een bijzonder inspirerende blik op de fascinerende wereld van A.F. Vandevorst.

This book focuses on their diverse inspirations, including Joseph Beuys, the military and the medical scene, and other artists An and Filip feel strongly connected to. Among them is Blixa Bargeld (Einstu?rzende Neubauten), who was the sourceof their first company's name and has been a big inspiration ever since.

The House of Chanel is synonymous with not one, but two, iconic designers. First there was Gabrielle, and then there was Karl. Chanel is a house known for its signatures that not only changed the course of fashion history but still resonate today - the Little Black Dress, the tweed suit, costume jewellery, Chanel No5. These signatures were inspired by Gabrielle Chanel's taste, life experience and travels - but it was Karl Lagerfeld who took these signatures and ingeniously adapted them for the twenty-first century woman. From his first days at the helm of Chanel in the 1980s, to his creative application of the Chanel logo to everything from biker boots to a space rocket, King Karl's reign at Chanel is nothing if not legendary. Little Book of Chanel by Lagerfeld covers his most exquisite pieces, breathtaking catwalk shows and constant reinvention that have maintained Chanel as the most illustrious couture house in the world. Written by the bestselling author of Little Book of Chanel, this beautifully illustrated book is the essential guide to Lagerfeld's tenure at Chanel.

SARGENT AND FASHION
Tate Publishing, 2023. 1. Paperback, 248 pages, ENG.,290 x 205 mm, New, illustrated in colour. ISBN: 9781849768597
Sargent and Fashion explores the dynamic relationship of painting and dress - from portraits and performance, gender expression and the New Woman, to the pull of tradition and the excitement of new ideas. "The coat is the picture," John Singer Sargent exclaimed to his fellow artist Graham Robertson in the summer of 1894, tugging a heavy overcoat ever more tightly around his sitter's slender figure. Sought-after by sitters for his ability to present to the world flattering and engaging likenesses, Sargent was simultaneously pursuing his own artistic vision. Rather than holding up a mirror to contemporary fashion, Sargent made fashion a part of his artistic repertoire. He often chose what his sitters wore, pinned their garments, or draped fabric around them, all with a view to creating confections to be recorded on canvas through his unrivalled artistic gifts. With contributions from many of the leading thinkers on Sargent and his world, and lavish reproductions of major portraits and exquisite costumes of the period, this publication offers a vital new perspective on one of the most famous and fashionable artists of all time.

MR&MRS CLARK : Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell. Fashion and print 1965-1974
Silvana Editoriale, 2023. 1. HB, 290 x 240 mm, 216 p, 200 Coloured illustr. , ENG / ITA , . ISBN: 9788836653768
The catalogue pays homage to an iconic "fashion duo", Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell, two English creatives whose short but very intense artistic and personal partnership gave rise to an unmistakable style that left its mark in London during the period between Mary Quant's miniskirt and the subversive punk movement of Malcolm MacLaren and Vivienne Westwood, from 1965 to 1974. Ossie and Celia is the story of a special alchemy, one of the first artistic couples in which a designer and a fabric designer worked together to complete each other in total harmony, up until their separation in 1973. Celia created wonderful prints inspired by nature and the different artistic currents that Ossie, with his skill in cutting and modelling, transformed into sensual and feminine clothes. This also thanks to the lightness of the fabrics such as crepes, silks and chiffons that conquered the international jet-set and the music scene of the time. From Brigitte Bardot to Liz Taylor, up to Verushka, everyone was fascinated by their fashion. Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Bianca Jagger and Marisa Berenson are just some of the people that Ossie Clark dressed. Starting with a first important nucleus of clothes from the archive of MassimoCantini Parrini, then enriched with further loans from the American collection of Lauren Lepire and from the London archives of the Clark family and Celia Birtwell herself, the exhibition recounts the context and evolution of the two artists with clothes, fabrics, unseen sketches, videos, photos and vintage editorials.

The Cindy Sherman Effect
Identity & Transformation in Contemporary Art
Schirmer/Mosel Verlag Gmbh, 2020. hardcover, dusjacket, 172 pages, Illustrated. 28cm. ENG. FINe. ISBN: 9783829608909
Since the 1970s Cindy Sherman (born in Glen Ridge, NJ, in 1954) has caused a stir in the art world with her photographic self-stagings. From the beginning, Schirmer/Mosel has accompanied her rise to international fame that started with her famous series Untitled Film Stills. In 1982 we published the first of eight books of her work to date. Neither her subjects nor her artistic realization - acting as the director, photographer, and performer of her motifs - have lost their relevance to this day. Quite the contrary: her multilayered examination of themes of identity and social clichés are hot topics in our age of increasingly public gender and transgender discussions. Entitled The Cindy Sherman Effect, an exhibition organized by Kunstforum Wien explores the influence of Cindy Sherman's work on artists such as Sophie Calle, Pipilotti Rist, Sarah Lucas, Gillian Wearing, Candice Breitz, Zanele Muholi, Markus Schinwald, Douglas Gordon, Samuel Fosso and many more.
