Abstract

"They barely last 15 minutes, yet their images circle the globe: fashion shows are media spectacles, social rituals, and style-defining statements. With 101 entries from A to Z, Catwalk: The Art of the Fashion Show A–Z explores the fashion show and its more than 100-year history. From ‘Front Row’ to ‘Model’ and ‘Make-up’ to ‘Pose’ and ‘Production’, key fashion show terms are examined in dedicated entries. More than 250 illustrations showcase interiors of early haute couture salons, iconic catwalk scenes, backstage moments, archival documents, and legendary fashion shows by Azzedine Alaïa, Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Gucci,Issey Miyake, Louis Vuitton, Maison Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Prada, Paco Rabanne, Yves Saint Laurent, and many more"-- On back of cover.
