Description

Tartan Revised and Updated by Jonathan Faiers is a comprehensive history of this iconic fabric. The updated edition explores tartan's development from its traditional Highland origins to its influence on contemporary fashion, tracing its evolution through art, music, film, and design. Through the lens of philosophical, political, and cultural contexts, Faiers examines how tartan has been both a symbol of conformity and subversion, tradition and innovation. The book delves into the fabric's history, from its association with Highland regiments to its adoption by designers such as Westwood and McQueen, and its impact on Japanese fashion. Beautifully illustrated and weaving together a rich narrative, Tartan Revised and Updated demonstrates the extraordinary versatility and far-reaching appeal of this most traditional and radical fabric.
