The Supermodern Wardrobe
Description:... The book focuses on the work of young, cutting-edge designers such as CP Company, Maharishi, Samsonite, Simon Thorogood, Kosuke Tsumura, Vexed Generation, and the artist Lucy Orta. All of these designers use fashion to address the problems and possibilities of increasingly alien and polluted urban spaces- supermarkets, airports, motorways and the street. Their designs have embraced new materials and technologies previously at the margins of fashion, to create items such as the bullet and slash proof coat and high performance, multi-functional items of sportswear, which provide protection and redefine our personal space as being comfortable, practical and secure.
With its specially commissioned photography, stylish layout and lively commentary, this is a book that will appeal to all lovers of radical ideas and innovation.
