An extraordinary collection of 1980s fashion—garments and accessories gathered through one man’s singular passion to create the world’s most definitive archive of the era—enhanced by original interviews with the decade’s most influential designers, stylists, and tastemakers.Founded in 1999 and opened in 2007, Bascuñán has built Museo de la Moda into one of the world’s largest archives of garments, accessories, and design objects from the era, ranging from vintage couture Chanel dresses worn by Joan Collins on Dynasty to subversive, deconstructed ensembles by Comme des Garçons and avant-garde outerwear designed by underground icon and performance artist Leigh Bowery.With over 600 pages and more than 900 vintage iconic garments and accessories, many featured in the glossy pages of the world’s biggest fashion magazines—from Jean Paul Gaultier worn by Grace Jones to stage and screen pieces donned by Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Princess Diana, and Michael Jackson. Highlighting the work of designers such as Vivienne Westwood, BodyMap, and Katharine Hamnett, this enormous book includes exclusive interviews and thematic explorations of style, color, menswear, and accessories. This is a definitive celebration of 1980s fashion and culture, which captures the decade defined by power, opulence, glamour, and fearless experimentation—when music, art, fashion, and design converged.

An enchanting exploration of the creative inspiration of the Bloomsbury Set on Kim Jones’s artistic direction of the fashion house Fendi.In September 2020, Kim Jones was named head of Fendi’s couture and womenswear, marking a new era for the Italian brand. This publication examines Jones’s relationship to the legendary Bloomsbury Set: the early twentieth-century community of British writers, intellectuals, and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell, who inspired the collection and his creative process. Enriched by ethereal photographs by Nikolai von Bismarck, this book spotlights the iconic landmarks of the Bloomsbury Set and Fendi. Beginning with Charleston House, Knole House, and Sissinghurst Castle in England, then traveling to the set of haute couture in Paris, the volume comes full circle at Rome’s Villa Medici and Villa Borghese—where the histories of Fendi and the Bloomsbury Set meet. Diverse photographic methods such as Polaroid, traditional film, and Super-8 film stills bring Jones’s creations to life, as well as reflect the Bloomsbury Set’s experimental techniques, while his eternal muses, including Christy Turlington, Demi Moore, Gwendoline Christie, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell, conjure the poetry of the present. With letters, diary entries, and excerpts from Bloomsbury members, this exquisite book will appeal to aficionados of fashion, literature, and photography
