WILD - Fashioned Untamed by Andrew Bolton

About the Item

Published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2005. Crocodile-embossed hardback with a sturdy hard-plastic dust jacket. Copiously illustrated with black-and-white and coloured reproduced photographs, this special volume was published in conjunction with the exhibition “WILD: Fashion Untamed” held at the Met Museum in 2005, made possible by fashion giant Roberto Cavalli. “Divino Feminino,” the eternal and immutable subject echoing through fashion, art and ancient mythology. Drawing on the image of “la belle sauvage,” skins, furs, feathers, and animal motifs have fascinated fashion designers since time immemorial. This special volume investigates the idea of adornment as provocation, pelts and plumes as sensuous objects evoking ideals of femininity and our primal psychosexual instincts. It also addresses contemporary issues of commodification, environmentalism and economic exhibitionism. Dimension: 18.2cm x 25.7cm x 2cm Condition: Fine
