A delightful gift book devoted to the art and design of Vanessa Bell, a central figure in the internationally popular Bloomsbury group. The painter Vanessa Bell initiated a step change in modern British art, bringing the bright palette and bold stylization of the Parisian avant-garde to London. She was a central figure in the Bloomsbury group, alongside members of her family and close circle including Virginia Woolf, Clive Bell and Duncan Grant. This book explores Bell’s radical approach to art and life through her paintings and designs for interiors, gardens, book jackets and more, bringing her work out of the shadow of her male contemporaries while celebrating her collaborative approach. Illustrated by over 100 striking images drawn from the V&A’s important collection of her work, this engaging overview also considers Bell’s unique, artisanal designs for the Omega Workshops and for Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex, her family residence, foregrounding the home as a crucial site of modernity.

At a moment of unprecedented creativity in men's fashion, and continuing reflections on gender, contemporary designers are questioning established forms, seeking to liberate wearers from traditional models of masculine dress. This book combines fashion with artistic and broader cultural histories - looking at the designers, tailors and artists who have constructed and performed masculinity from the Renaissance to the present day. It traces connections across and beyond European menswear, celebrating both rich traditions and daring individualists.Divided into three parts, Undressed reveals the role of the body and underwear in fashioning masculinities. Overdressed explores the power dynamics of sartorial bravado, while Redressed deconstructs a modern masculine uniform: the black suit.Featuring a staggering range of cultural touchstones from Hercules to Virgil Abloh, Giovanni Battista Moroni to Jawaharlal Nehru, Yves Saint Laurent to Kehinde Wiley, Marcus Rashford, Marlene Dietrich and even Captain America, Fashioning Masculinities challenges our preconceptions about menswear, revealing the fascinating historical roots beneath the power, artistry and diversity of masculine attire and appearance today.
