Women dressing women : a lineage of female fashion design
This elegantly designed volume, featuring all-new photography of more than 70 garments, celebrates the impact of fashions created by and for women - from unidentified dressmakers in 18th-century France to contemporary designers who are leading the direction of fashion today. 'Women Dressing Women' includes ensembles from French houses such as Vionnet, Schiaparelli, and Mad Carpentier; American makers like Ann Lowe, Claire McCardell, and Isabel Toledo; and contemporary designers including Rei Kawakubo, Iris van Herpen, Simone Rocha, and Anifa Mvuemba. The accompanying essays address notions of anonymity, visibility, agency, and omission, exploring how these concepts have impacted female designers, situating their creations in a larger social context, while an illustrated timeline visually traces connections between these celebrated women and their aesthetic sensibilities.

Wink on Pink: Interpreting Japanese Cute as It Grabs the Global Headlines
Consider the following news items by which Asia is making the headlines: In a 2007 mockumentary entitled Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno: Tokyo Then Fashion Subculture Handbook, journalists Patrick Macias and Izumi Evers chronicle girl culture street fashion in urban Japan from the late 1960s to 2007, ending with what they call cute overload. There, as an example of this overload, stand two young women in various shades of pink from head to toe: shocking pink hair adorned with multiple pink barrettes, fuzzy pink kitten earmuffs, pink baby doll dresses, mismatched pink knee-high socks, and pink laced shoes. Around one woman's neck hangs that icon of cute: Sanrio Company's flagship character since 1974, Hello Kitty. Here, Yano explores the multifaceted phenomenon of Japanese cute--and Hello Kitty within it--showered with such global popularity. She also discusses the issues behind Hello Kitty's wink.
