Styling Shanghai is the first book dedicated to exploring the city’s fashion cultures, examining its growing status as one of the world’s foremost fashion cities. From its origins as an international treaty port in the 19th century, Shanghai has emerged as a global leader in the production, mediation and consumption of fashion. This book reveals how the material and imaginative context of this thriving urban centre has produced vivid interpretations of fashion as object, image and idea.Bringing together contributions by a range of leading international fashion historians and theorists, and drawing on extensive original research, Styling Shanghai offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the mega-city’s shifting position as a fashion capital. Rooted in collaboration between leading UK, Australian and Shanghai-based institutions, it considers the impact of local and global textile manufacturing, the representation and marketing of ‘Shanghai Style’, bodies and gender in the ‘Paris of the East’, and the challenges of globalization, commercialization and digital communication in contemporary Shanghai.

This book provides a compelling overview of how stained glass can play a significant role in our visual culture and heritage. While the closure of traditional church buildings has endangered the future of this well-loved discipline, throughout the centuries, stained glass has had a capacity to adapt, with its unique ability to use colour and light to uplift our senses. The conservation of historic windows and creation of contemporary work at Barley Studio over the last 50 years provides an ideal platform to examine stained glass today, with insights from the authors’ personal experience as designers, conservators, and educators.The book begins by examining Barley Studios conservation and restoration work, focusing on the unique schemes of medieval windows at St Nicholas Church, Stanford-on-Avon, Northamptonshire and St Mary’s Church, Fairford, Gloucestershire. It then considers Helen Whittaker’s work, demonstrating the variety of techniques used to engage a contemporary audience. It discusses the key design factors that stimulate her creative approach and reflects on the connections between traditional and contemporary stained glass. The range of perspectives presented within this book draws attention to and celebrates the power of this unique art-form and reveals how it can reflect changes in popular tastes and trends.
