Vivienne Westwood - Reviews
| "You won’t find any chintz amid the outrageous punk looks and crinolined, corseted gowns in the new TASCHEN tome: Vivienne Westwood, an in-depth look at the woman who shook up the once very traditional world of Brit fashion."— ELLE, New York, United States |
| „Dies ist kein Buch für ein Bücherregal, sondern sollte als Kunstwerk offen präsentiert werden!“— Textil Forum, Neuss, Germany |
| “The idea for this series was to make large-format books that could be accessible to a new fashion audience. I liked the idea of creating a personal portfolio that was both a reference and an intimate bound file of collected images and text.”— Terry Jones speaking in i-D Magazine, London, United Kingdom |
| “When “fuck yeah” Tumblrs and other online resources saturate our lives with a back-lit visual infinity, how can print compete? i-D founder and Creative Director Terry Jones, along with the publishers at TASCHEN, have a seductive solution that I’m calling BBW. That is, print Big, print Beautiful, and source Well. BBW is why you would buy Jones and TASCHEN’s new Designer Monographs book series. Too big for most shelves, the books call for open, horizontal storage, for passing-by perusal. The first designers to be monographed are Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto and Vivienne Westwood.. The content is culled from Jones and i-D’s extensive archive and it reminds that, for all the vastness of the web, there is an even more endless supply of material yet to be scanned. At the same time, the series updates print with a net mentality, as each monograph is organized more like a fan blog than a traditional catalog: images and quotes are assembled associatively rather than chronologically, allowing for the kind of affective juxtapositions and cluttered mimesis of the mind that the Internet does so well. The series will continue with the next two books featuring Raf Simons and Rick Owens, designers who, like Kawakubo, Yamamoto and Westwood, were selected for having, ‘successfully created international reputations with their unique visions, and founded a base for inspiring future generations of new designers.’”— Bullett Magazine, New York, United States |
| „Dieses Buch liefert Einblick in die wohl einzigartige Karriere der Modekünstlerin Vivienne Westwood.”— Tango, Kiel, Germany |
| «Sao tres dos criadores incontornáveis na tentativa de desenahr este lado mais vanguardista e fraturante da moda como fica provado nas biografíasde estilo publicadas por TASCHEN.»— Sábado, Lisbon, Portugal |
| «Nuevos títulos acaparan tendencias en tapa dura. Terry Jones rastra 30 años de archivos del trabajo de Vivienne Westwood, Rei Kawakubo y Yohji Yamamoto... Un cruce de caminos en una colección de libros que la editorial TASCHEN lanza como Nemésis a los coffe table books. La moda vuelve a encerrarse entre tapas duras en plena efervescencia digital... El material seleccionado se organiza como un gran vestidor de cada homenajeado en 120 páginas. Yamamoto, Westwood y Kawakubo traspasaron las lindes de la moda para terminar rubricando el testimonio de una época. Con esta prerrogativa, Terry Jones pretende que la empresa iniciada continúe su camino con el trabajo de Nicholas Ghesquière, antes y después de Balenciaga; con el periplo creativo de Raf Simons, por Jil Sanders y ahora Dior, y las hermanas Mulleavy, ideadoras de Rodarte.»— SModa, El País, Madrid, Spain |
| "Westwood is visually stunning because it uses its large size to showcase photos one-to-a-page, rather than split them up... They look epic."— Thread, Auckland, New Zealand |
| "Vivienne Westwood is nothing less than extraordinary for its four insightful question-and-answer sessions with the designer and its spectacular collection of images, in colour and black and white that altogether capture the essence of what fashion has meant over the years to this remarkable woman."— World Magazine, New Zealand |
| “Vivienne Westwood has gone through many phases- and still, more than thirty years into her career- she’s still going strong. Now she’s the focus of a new TASCHEN book, edited by i-D founder and Creative Director Terry Jones, which documents her wild creations and reflects on her impact on the fashion world. The book overflows with rich images from the i-D archives…”— The Daily Beast, New York, United States |
