Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In Xtreme Fashion the authors of the highly successful Xtreme Houses turn their attention to the fashion world, where the pedigree pooches of haute couture are being replaced by new top dogs-the mongrels of street style. Featuring more than 300 color photos and fascinating text, the authors show how real fashion starts on the streets, born of urban movements from hip-hoppers to civil liberties' campaigners. They argue that contemporary fashion, like contemporary culture, finds inspiration in many other disciplines including art, science, architecture, graphic and product design, pop music,politics, and mass media. From smart fabrics that make the wearer invisible, bags that turn into swings, solar-paneled jackets, self-walking trousers and spray-on fabrics, to shape-remembering blouses with self-rolling sleeves, "anti-dog" gowns, and perfume-emitting dresses, Xtreme fashion is an exciting and often startling look at what new designers want us to put on in the morning.
