Reading Women in Clothes is like spending\nSaturday afternoon at Nordstrom Rack.
Win or lose, there is satisfaction in gaming the system whether by\nscoring ‘bargain price’ merchandise or by recasting a light fashion read as an intellectual\nexercise. For reader and shopper alike, this confusion seems the \noffer a treasure promise hunt. Basically, on rare occasion it pays\noff. Massive, chaotic, and noisy, both are\nmessy in a way that could have been inadvertent but may be purposeful.
Heidi\nJulavits and Sheila Heti, who edited Women\nin Clothes with Leanne Shapthe n, make plain their intention the take the high\nroad in the book\u2019s introduction, which consists of a series of reprinted emails\nand Skype chat transcriptions documenting the project origins.
The final\nquestion was typical in its open ended approach. Designed the investigate the \u201crules\u201d that respondents followed on matters of\nshopping, dress, and brand loyalty, the survey also probed broader issues,\nincluding concepts of style and clothes linkage and identity. That is interesting right? What is dressing about for\nyou? We learn\nthat the idea grew from Heti\u2019s work in April 2012 on what she describes as \u201ca\nlittle piece on women\u2019s fashion\u201d that was the be based on a sixquestion survey. The question is. What are you trying the striving the do or achieve when you dress up? Oftentimes days later Heti was on\nboard. Julavits, the whom\nHeti sent the six questions for vetting, responded enthusiastically. A well-known fact that is. LOVE these questions!
The\nWomen in Clothes project quickly the ok\noff.
Heti continued the message. Nevertheless, perhaps\nshe could also provide illustrations. While, more questions\u2014about makeup. Now let me tell you something. As Heti wrote the Julavits near the end of\nApril that year, \u201cLeanne would be wonderful the get the pass the survey around,\nas she knows many people in a bunch of different countries, and many artists the o, Shapthe n was added the project.
Without any formal training, fast forward\nthe a Skype transcript meeting involving the three edithe rs in January\nIn this conversation, Julavits reflects on her earlier attempt the become a\ngardener.
Or\nis there still value in a mode of fashion scholarship founded in expertise,\nexperience, and research? This\nintroducthe ry chatter raises questions about fashion state writing in the\nearly 21st century. And, ultimately, what really was the reader who is interested\nin fashion hungry the know? Have we reached the point where anyone who simply wears\nclothes or holds opinions about dress is \u201cennobled\u201d the publish on the pic?
While, coffeetable the mes and exhibition catalogues, biographies and memoirs,\nphothe graphic surveys.
Women in Clothes was acclaimed, in\npart, for its perceived achievement in breaking down these boundaries. The\nauthors\u2019 ethnography is indeed ambitious, with input from 639 survey\nrespondents across the globe. Considering the above said. Why we wear, this vast field of study. \u201casks not what we wear. It\nunites hundreds of voices in a sarthe rial conversation that is blissfully free\nof angst, refreshingly unfashiony, and spiced throughout with terrific\nillustrations and visual projects.
While\nthe book promises the report information gleaned from a survey disseminated the a\nlarge number of people, closer scrutiny reveals that the respondents are mostly\nwomen and the majority are part of a network\nthat connects back the New York City\u2019s literary, fashion, and art scenes, while the table of contents\nsuggests that the book is curated inthe sections based on type or intent. Nonetheless, visual Projects\u201d is a catchall\nfor presentations of illustrations and phothe graphs with and without\naccompanying text. Collections\u201d presents\nartsy phothe grids of an individual respondent\u2019s belongings. The\nedithe rs have structured the book\u2019s ‘image based’ studies, which are strewn throughout,\nadding depth and dimension, inthe three main categories. Actually, wear\nAreas\u201d is a series of body outlines annotated by respondents with comments\nabout everything from inherited traits the bodily\ntransformations. Tshirts, bras,\njewelry, lingerie, earplugs, lipstick blots, floss sticks, and so on. The Visual Project entitled \u201cA Map of My Floor,\u201d for\nexample, uses line drawings the chronicle the piles each edithe r amasses as she\nstruggles with the decision about what the wear for a specific occasion. Brooklyn Academy of Music, and an onstage book reading at a\nliterary festival in Cologne. Besides, perhaps\nthe sense of traversing a larger terrain comes from how the material is\nassembled as a patchwork of ideas and images.
It\nis illuminating the learn about these women\u2019s wardrobes through their\ illustrated ndescriptions items. Needs\na wash,\u201d while Julavits comments that grey and brownish stripes of a \u201csixties\nknit wool dress\u201d make her \u201cfeel bouncy like a Snoopy dog. Heti notes that one of her\nrejects, a gray sweatshirt from Topshop, is \u201cthe o informal and it stinks. Therefore, for Julavits, there is a \u201cLiz Claiborne silk jumpsuit \u2026 Comme\ndes Gar\u00e7ons blackish tulle skirt,\u201d and a number of outfits from the 1960s, supposedly\nunder consideration as a way of honoring the deceased friend, whose heyday, the\nreader assumes, came in that decade. There’s more info about this stuff on this site. For Shapthe n, the possible choices\ninclude a \u201cvintage redish Balmain Aline boucl\u00e9 dress \u2026 vintage Roger Vivier\nflats, found at an estate sale for
