This comprehensive guide to handbag patternmaking, intended for professionals, skilled hobbyists and students, bridges the gap between craftsmanship and innovative technical developments, including digital patternmaking. This isn't just another patternmaking manual: it's the script that both authors would like to have had when they had doubts about construction techniques while learning the profession, equipping readers with the tools they need to tackle an array of concepts independently. Drawing from their own experiences, the authors provide an easy to work with, notebook-like resource that groups together different construction techniques, providing concise explanations, ensuring that readers gain a deeper understanding of construction methods and understand basic construction principles. Divided in two parts, the manual explores first the working process of bag patternmakers and their skills. It then explains the anatomy of bags and characteristics of the most popular models, introduces into the reading of style cards and technical drawings, to the signs to be included both in a paper as in a digital pattern to compile all information necessary to make a bag. The book also guides readers through the main construction techniques for each type of bag, explaining sides, handles, flaps, linings and bottoms in meticulous detail giving tips for a correct realization. Unique in its field, Designing Bags is a valuable resource for anyone passionate about or seeking professional growth in this evolving design area.

Otti Berger created fabrics that fundamentally changed the understanding of what textiles could be and do. A core member of the experimental approach to textiles at the Bauhaus, she was also a female entrepreneur in the frenzied time that was the early 1930s in Berlin. Working closely with architects of the New Objectivity movement such as Lilly Reich, Ludwig Hilberseimer and Hans Scharoun, she designed upholstery and wall tapestries, curtains and floor coverings that responded to novel types of use and production methods, and thereby redefined the relationship between aesthetics and function¿with fascinating results. To date Berger's textile work has only been explored in fragments. This book is the first comprehensive study of its complexity and beauty and makes her hitherto unpublished treatise on fabrics and the methodology of textile production accessible. Raum's research offers an entirely new perspective on Berger's oeuvre.OTTI BERGER (1898-1944) was one of the most important textiledesigners of the 20th century.

Felice Rix-Ueno studierte bei Josef Hoffmann, einem Mitbegründer der Wiener Werkstätte (1903-1932). Inspiriert von der japanischen Formensprache bildete sie einen eigenen Stil aus, der sich in besonders fantasievollen Stoff- und Tapetenmustern, Mode- und Wohnaccessoires sowie Wandmalereien ausdrückte. Nach ihrer Heirat mit dem japanischen Architekten Isaburo Ueno übersiedelte sie 1926 nach Japan. Hier entstanden gemeinsame Arbeiten, die viel Beachtung fanden, wie etwa die Star Bar in Kyoto, die 1932 in der berühmten Ausstellung Modern Architecture im New Yorker MoMa gezeigt wurde. Felice Rix-Ueno, die schon in der erfolgreichen MAK Ausstellung Die Frauen der Wiener Werkstätte prominent vertreten war, wird mit diesem Katalog erstmals außerhalb Japans eine substanzielle monographische Aufarbeitung zuteil.

The work of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis (1898-1944) occupies a key position in the broader history of the Austrian avant-garde while also deepening our understanding of modernism. Her work covers an impressive range of media and genres in the visual and applied arts. Influenced by her studies at Vienna's Kunstgewerbeschule (which later became the University of Applied Arts Vienna), the Itten Private School, and the Bauhaus in Weimar, she worked as a painter, stage designer, architect, designer in Vienna and Berlin, in exile, and as a deportee. This book explores the heterogeneity of Dicker's work, reconstructs her artistic strategies and references to aesthetic and political discourses from the 1920s to the 1940s, and documents for the first time her works in the collection of the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
