An essential sourcebook of prints from a key fashion decade. The 1950s was the decade when an analytical approach to design, with a lightness and freshness, combined with whimsical imagery and idiosyncratic subject matter. Showcasing hundreds of print designs, this book celebrates the heyday of postwar fashion design. From Lucienne Day and Robert Stewart to Maija Isola of Marimekko, the designs and influences of the print icons of the time are all covered. In addition to finished prints, the book contains exclusive illustrations and original artworks. The major themes of the period are explored, including: narrative and novelty; abstraction, exploring the distorted and attenuated forms used in print; artistic licence and the influence of contemporary art on fashion print; and finally kinetic prints that capture the influence of the era’s ‘mobiles, doodles and spasms’. Each short chapter introduction is followed by a range of illustrations with captions to give provenance and relevance, making this a unique sourcebook for contemporary designers and students.

Excerpt from Dress, Blouse, and Costume Cloths: Design and Fabric Manufacture The design and manufacture of dress, blouse and costume cloths comprise phases of textile technology obtaining in the different sections of the spinning and weaving industries. Dress goods are, for instance, made of materials and yarns which constitute the staple woven products of the silk, artificial silk, cotton, linen, worsted and woollen trades, but adapted in weaving practice to the construction of light varieties of fabric. Such goods form, as a result of these conditions, a unique and distinct description of textile manu facture, one which imposes on the producer a knowledge of the technology of each of these trades, in addition to a know ledge of fabric design, tinting, and finishing applicable to dress, costume, and blouse cloths. In view of these salient features of the subject it has been sought in this work to interpret (1) the commercial and indus trial aspects oi the trade (2) the nature, structure and the qualities of the yarns employed; (3) the weaving principles involved (4) the design and colour schemes elaborated and (5) the systems of fabric build and manufacture practised.
