{"product_id":"asia-chic-estelle-nikles-van-osselt-9788874398560","title":"Asia Chic: The Influence of Japanese and Chinese Textiles on the Fashions of the Roaring Twenties","description":"European fashion was profoundly influenced in the early decades of the 20th century by the style, textiles, patterns and color combinations of Asian clothing. The discovery of the kimono, in particular, with its loose cut, fluid lines and broad range of decorations, captivated the great couturiers of the period. It enabled adventurous women in the Roaring Twenties to cast out their corsets and social straightjackets, while offering a new, daring kind of elegance with exotic overtones. From the meeting of these two sartorial cultures has sprung an exhibition and this catalog, in which the drawings of Paris fashion designers are compared with examples of contemporary East-Asian textiles from the Baur Foundation in Geneva. The wonderful garments discussed include the collections of kimonos and other Japanese clothes gifted by Sato Mariko (2008) and Sugawara Keiko (2015), as well as Chinese textiles that are the pride of the Foundation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Estelle Nikles Van Osselt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8874398565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788874398560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Five Continents Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Estelle Nikles Van Osselt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47072207667455,"sku":"9788874398560","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6933ec4-15ee-4759-b318-94bbe0804a22.jpg?v=1753416112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asia-chic-estelle-nikles-van-osselt-9788874398560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
