Alistair O'Neill - Böcker

The first in-depth look at the work of the globally celebrated and multidisciplinary London-based designer Faye Toogood - this book covers all aspects of her work, from clothes and furniture, to installations and interior designFaye Toogood is unlike any other designer. Her impressive creative output encompasses not only furniture, but sculpture, fashion, interiors, and homeware. This book is the first to explore Toogood's unique approach to design across disciplines through the studio's guiding principles: drawing, material, sculpture, and landscape. In doing so it not only reveals the fascinating creative process behind Toogood's beautiful designs, but also illustrates the interconnectedness of her design across a range of practices together with the poetry that flows throughout her work.The book also features her collaborations with (and commissions by) such brands as Birkenstock, Carhartt WIP, Comme des Garçons, Dover Street Market, Hermès, Mulberry and National Gallery of Victoria.

In this timely book, three noted fashion historians examine the global transformations in the fashion industry today, and identify the challenges of the future. Since the dawn of designer fashion at the beginning of the 20th century, the role and position of the designer has drastically changed. This book addresses how the interpretation of creativity, authorship, craft, and innovation have evolved in this new context, and asks what role designers play in a globalised and digitised fashion world.
