        fantastic, avantster!



        What book did these come from, if I may ask?

        ...I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

          I wonder whether this is from the Kyoto Fashion Museum book or maybe from the San Fran museum catalogue - they had a very good Japanese fashion exhibition a while ago.

            Thanks guys, knew some of you'd like it!



            I'll post the book when I get home. It's interesting to see how YY & CdG seemed to start from around the same place and went on completely different paths.

            let us raise a toast to ancient cotton, rotten voile, gloomy silk, slick carf, decayed goat, inflamed ram, sooty nelton, stifling silk, lazy sheep, bone-dry broad & skinny baffalo.

              It's from Fashion History from the Kyoto Costume Institute. Lots of photographs and short descriptions of period costumes & fashion.

                yep, just as i thought. it's a good book to have, and it doesn't break the bank.
