Mode & Interieur A Gendered Affair
, Hannibal, 2025 hardcover, 27,5 x 20,5 cm, 224 pagina's, Quadrichromie, Nederlandstalige editie *nieuw. . ISBN 9789493416031.
Een exploratie van mode en interieurontwerp vanuit genderperspectief, van het Victoriaanse tijdperk tot hedendaagse ontwerpers als Martin Margiela en Raf Simons Mode & Interieur. A Gendered Affair verkent de relatie tussen mode en interieurontwerp door een gendergerichte lens. Welgestelde vrouwen verfraaiden tijdens de tweede helft van de negentiende eeuw zowel hun lichaam als interieur met gedrapeerde stoffen, franjes en ruches. Mannelijke vormgevers, zoals Henry van de Velde en Josef Hoffmann, trokken ten strijde tegen die decoratieve overdaad en ontwierpen vrouwenkleding en interieur als onderdeel van een uitgekiend totaalkunstwerk. Modeontwerpers Paul Poiret en Jeanne Lanvin inspireerden zich op die aanpak en zetten interieurontwerp in bij de branding van hun modehuis. De impact van kleding resoneerde ook bij modernistische (interieur)architecten zoals Adolf Loos, Lilly Reich en Le Corbusier. De beeldtaal en creaties van hedendaagse modeontwerpers als Ann Demeulemeester, Martin Margiela en Raf Simons bieden een verrassende reflectie op die complexe geschiedenis. Deze publicatie wordt uitgegeven naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling Mode & Interieur. A Gendered Affair in MoMu?ModeMuseum Antwerpen van 29 maart 2025 tot en met 3 augustus 2025.

Fashion & Interiors A Gendered Affair
, Hannibal, 2025 hardcover, 27.5 x 20.5 cm, 224 pages, Quadrichrome, English language edition *new. . ISBN 9789464941937.
Exploring fashion and interior design through a gender lens, from the Victorian era to contemporary designers like Martin Margiela and Raf Simons Fashion & Interiors. A Gendered Affair explores the relationship between fashion and interiors from a gender perspective. In the second half of the nineteenth century, bourgeois ladies embellished both their bodies and their homes with drapes, fringing and ruches. Male designers such as Henry van de Velde and Josef Hoffmann waged war on that decorative excess and designed women?s clothing and interiors as part of a well-thought-out total work of art. Fashion designers Paul Poiret and Jeanne Lanvin drew inspiration from this approach and used interior design to create a powerful brand for their fashion houses. The impact of clothing also resonated with modernist (interior) architects such as Adolf Loos, Lilly Reich and Le Corbusier. This complex history is reflected in surprising ways in the visual language and creations of contemporary fashion designers such as Ann Demeulemeester, Martin Margiela, and Raf Simons. This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Fashion & Interiors. A Gendered Affair on view at MoMu?Fashion Museum Antwerp from 29 March to 3 August 2025.

Room of Wonders I / Axel Vervoordt,
, MER. Paper Kunsthalle , 2018 Softcover / 96 pages / 19 x 25 cm. ENGLISH ISBN 9789493045040.
DIVA will be inviting renowned designers and curators for a contemporary interpretation of the Wunderkammer, a chamber exhibiting a collection of art and curiosities, objects from every corner of the globe. The Wunderkammer stems from Antwerp's illustrious past, for until the middle of the seventeenth century the city led the way in the production and distribution of art and luxury goods. Silverware, jewellery, precious stones and exotic curiosities like coconuts, shells and coral were highly sought-after. Axel Vervoordt, after his famous series of biennal exhibitions at the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, will take the lead. The catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Axel Vervoordt, Wonderkamer 1' at the new Diamond Museum Antwerp is the 2nd issue of an affordable series of DIVA 'magazines', opening and sharing the reclused world of luxury arts and crafts. Axel Vervoordt (? 1947, Antwerp, Belgium) has earned renown as a collector, antiquarian, interior designer and, most recently, curator. Counting among his clientele royalty, rock stars, financiers, tech tycoons and artists, he is one of the world's foremost tastemakers. Inquiries into the nature of being and concepts of time and space are what most compel him; he conveys his views through his inspired arrangements of objects and interiors. To some, expressing the lofty in the material might seem contradictory, but Vervoordt believes that, as in a Zen koan, truth can be contained in paradox and ambiguity.
MAN RAY and Fashion
Antwerp, Stockmans, 2023 softcover, 176 pages, 220.x 290 mm Illustrated. English. ISBN 9789464363364.
Man Ray was a widely versatile artist who worked with a range of different media and did not like to be pigeonholed. Fashion as such did not seem to be a particular interest of his, but dressmaking was part of his youth and photographing fashion played a crucial role throughout his career. The way he portrayed women and their clothing continues to influence fashion photographers today. Man Ray used new and unexpected angles, employed artistic staging, and applied such innovative processes as solarization and multiple exposure to his fashion photography. In recent decades, fashion designers continue to find inspiration in his Surrealist imagery. This is most notably true for Belgian designers, with their avant-garde mindset. Completely in line with the concept of Surrealism, these references are often subconscious. The first reference to Man Ray in Belgian fashion, however, was in fact explicit and can be placed squarely at the entrance of the Brussels-based Norine couture house. ... Fashion not only provided an income and international recognition for Man Ray but also influenced his visual language. That vocabulary had been nurtured from an early age by dressmaking attributes that must un-avoidably carry more meaning for a tailor?s son than for someone else. His images of mannequins and fragmented body parts were consistent with the visual language of the Surrealists, and were, under the influence of his fashion photography, not only uncanny but also aesthetically appealing. His visual art and his commercial photography were not separate from one another, and he was moreover one of the first Surrealist artists to recognize the artistic as well as the commercial potential of mass media.
