Die überraschenden Ursprünge der Männergarderobe - zeitlos und rebellisch. Wie wurde die Jeans, wie das weiße T-Shirt zum Klassiker? Welcher Filmstar hat die Lederjacke weltweit zur Ikone gemacht ? Und wurden Chinos wirklich für das Militär erdacht ?

Christian Diors spektakulære rejse til de øverste lag af den parisiske modeverden er en af det 20. århundredes mest fængslende historier. Han var en galleriejer med en moderne vision, gennemsyret af traditionerne inden for fransk haute couture, og med sin debutkollektion fra 1947 opfandt han New Look-silhuetten og revolutionerede måden, hvorpå kvinder klædte sig og så sig selv.Den lille bog om Dior fortæller historien om Christian Diors tidlige år, starten på brandet, couturekollektionernes triumf på catwalken og den røde løber samt couturehusets udvikling efter dets skabers død.

Yves Saint Laurent er anerkendt for at have løftet haute couture op til en kunstart, at gøre modeopvisningen til et skuespil af betagende proportioner og med sine androgyne klassikere at modernisere opfattelsen af kvindetøj.Efter sin opvækst i Algeriet blev Saint Laurent elev hos Christian Dior, og hans hastige opstigen som modeskaberens højre hånd kulminerede med, at Saint Laurent blev leder af Dior-brandet efter grundlæggerens død. Derfra grundlagde Saint Laurent i 1961 sit eget modehus, hvor han skabte det berømte jakkesæt “Le Smoking” og Mondrian-kjolen, gjorde læderjakken mainstream og forbløffede modeverdenen ved at blande luksus og kunstnerisk drama.

Bodies act as powerful signs, as cultural settings: How are bodies represented and how are they looked at? Which types of bodies are never shown or only shown in a particular way or context? Normative ideas of beauty and the body shape our perception of ourselves and the world - and the bodies shown manifest inequalities and reflect the prevailing relations of power and violence.Talking Bodies questions the body images propagated by our visual culture through the medium of the poster. Masterpieces of art history, contemporary self-dramatizations in social media, gender stereotypes, images of black bodies, and the representation of disabled and non-normative bodies are juxtaposed and critically analyzed. With its focus on the construction and impact of body images, but also on possible strategies of resistance, the publication sees itself as a critical contribution to current debates.
