内容説明
Anglomania, the craze for all things English, gripped Europe during the mid-to-late 18th century. As perceived by Anglophiles such as Voltaire and Montesquieu, England was a land of reason, freedom, and tolerance, a place where the Enlightenment found its greatest expression. What began as an intellectual phenomenon, however, became and has remained a matter of style. Through the lens of fashion, AngloMania examines aspects of English culture, such as class, sport, royalty, pageantry, eccentricity, the gentleman, and the country garden, which have fuelled the European and American imagination.
This beautiful book presents historical costumes juxtaposed with late 20th- and early 21st-century fashions by Hussein Chalayan, John Galliano, Stephen Jones, Shaun Leane, Alexander McQueen, Philip Treacy, and Vivienne Westwood. As with the hugely successful exhibition Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century” at the Metropolitan Museum, the clothing is styled as a series of thematic vignettes in the Museum’s English Period Rooms. This book comprises photographs of the installations along with text written by Andrew Bolton.
From AngloMania, we learn that Englishness is a romantic construct based on fictive and imaginary narratives. In terms of fashion, these narratives emerge as ones that are satirical, nostalgic, theatrical, and like the English weather, at once indomitable and unpredictable.

From Publishers Weekly
Published to accompany a show of the same name at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this handsome book explores the British fashion industry's genius for drawing upon its past to reinvent the future, often with a postmodern, nearly apocalyptic, flair. In Buruma's introductory essay-a proper academic examination that belies the playfulness of the material-he insists that in England, "dressing up has become a free-for-all ... most of the codes and trappings of class have either collapsed or become increasingly confused ... so that it is no longer subversive for a working-class boy to dress like an Edwardian fop ... or for an aristocrat to pose as a working man." This spirit is reflected in the book's lush, full-bleed photographs and reproductions, an eclectic sample of the museum's collection, which co-mingles fashion treasures from the past-not just in garments, but in canvases and tapestries-with the work of present-day designers heavily influenced by those very works. From the subtle conservatism of Saville Row to the expressionistic works of the UK's latest fashion trailblazers-including Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood-to such avant-garde pieces as Simon Costin's gorgeous "Incubus Necklace" (made with silver, copper and glass vials of human semen), this impressive show catalog hits all the highlights with grace and wit.

Incredible show; mediocre book
2007/2/6
形式:ハードカバー
This was one of the most beautiful and innovative special exhibitions I have ever seen at the Met in the 25 years I've been going there. I bought the book on Amazon, sight unseen, because it was published after the show closed. What a shame - the book doesn't approach the quality of the show, simply because the Met obviously did not hire a photographer up to this level of aesthetic. It is not a book of photography depicting the show so much as a _catlogue_ of the show, a reference book using technically able but sterile lighting. Oddly too harsh and too flat at the same time. Disappointing.

Wonderful.....

If you were lucky enough to see this show you know what a wonderful, edgy but beautiful exhibit it was. I was so happy there would be a book and anticipated it for many many months. I know that no book can recreate the actual expereince of being there so just having the visual representations in the photographs, which by the way I found to be very good, it looked just the way it looked when you were there more or less. Of course I felt there could have been more, but it does cover the entire exhibit. The quality if the book is great. I love the cover and under the dust jacket is nice too. Very glad I purchased this after waiting so long after the show. If you loved AngloMania, or just fashion and costume you need this book.

Best of the Met
2007/3/8
形式:ハードカバー
Since I saw the Anglomania show at the Met last spring, I anxiously awaited the publication of this book! It gives a good overview explaining the role of the fashions shown in the exhibit and is filled with photographs highlighting some of the most interesting aspects of the designers' work. I really enjoyed being able to see some of the accessories in greater detail than was possible in person. One caveat is that the photos are a bit dark, as would be expected to those who viewed the works in the dim gallery spaces, perhaps setting a somber tone to a show that was full of life. I really wish that Anglomania would have been available during the run of the exhibit!
