内容简介

如果一针缝歪了，整条裙子就会撕成碎片

查尔斯·威尔逊·布雷加·詹姆斯(1906 - 78)是他那个时代最著名和最受欢迎的时装设计师之一，并因其高度创新的设计而赢得狂喜的赞誉。在没有接受过正式培训的情况下，他设计出了20世纪一些最具雄心、最引人注目的高级定制服装，在英美媒体令人窒息的支持下，他成为了包括玛琳•黛德丽(Marlene Dietrich)和社交名媛奥斯廷•赫斯特(Austine Hearst)在内的强大客户的首选设计师。这本书是新系列的第一本，探讨了伟大设计师的工作方法和着装实践。书中重新审视了詹姆斯的声誉，并对他最惊人的设计进行了精确的细节分析——从华丽的晚礼服到别致的配饰。

Timothy A. Long探索了詹姆斯之前未研究过的方法——揭示了几何的严谨性和对材料的热情，使设计师能够创造出革命性的服装。详细的插图和新的服装摄影，这是完美的介绍詹姆斯的惊人的工作-有价值的裁缝，设计师和学者一样。

If a stitch is crooked, the whole dress is torn to shreds' Virginia Woolf, 1933

Charles Wilson Brega James (1906 - 78) was one of the most celebrated and sought-after couturiers of his day, and won ecstatic praise for his highly innovative designs. Without formal training, he created some of the most ambitious, dramatic couture of the twentieth century and, with the breathless support of the UK and American press, came to be the designer of choice for powerful clients including Marlene Dietrich and socialite Austine Hearst. In this book, the first in a new series examining the working methods and dressmaking practices of great designers, James's reputation is re-examined and his most breathtaking designs are analyzed in exacting detail - from magnificent eveningwear to chic accessories.

Timothy A. Long explores the previously unstudied methods James employed - uncovering a geometric rigour and passion for materials that enabled the designer to create revolutionary garments. Featuring detailed illustrations and new garment photography, this is the perfect introduction to James's stunning work - valuable to dressmakers, designers and scholars alike.
