Tartan and Tweed is a comprehensive look at the chequered history of tartan and tweed from their origins in the Scottish Highlands to their reinvention, growing and continued popularity and use in contemporary fashion design, music, art and film. Both tweed and tartan are fabrics with a strong cultural identity and history. But they have been reinvented to create multiple meanings, particularly when used in street fashions and in haute couture to mimic or parody the aristocracy, and to act as a subversive symbol of rebellion. This lavishly illustrated book focuses on fashion over the last century whilst looking back at the journey these fabrics have made from traditional cloth to stylish fabrics. We follow the early popularity of tartan and tweed including the fabrics'' connections from crofters and clans to aristocracy, and look at tweed''s dramatic recovery during an economic crisis and its subsequent re-invention as desirable luxury fashion fabric. The book explores the use of tartan and tweed in fashion in the collections of leading designers including Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Chanel who have used these textiles in a fresh, subversive way, while also paying tribute to their history. Making use of first person sources, historic documents, paintings and fashion photographs, this is a complete overview of tartan and tweed in Scotland and beyond.

A stunning and thought-provoking biography of one of the world''s most iconic fashion designers. From punk provocateur to celebrity couturier, Vivienne Westwood was one of the most influential artists of recent times. A true original who used clothes to express her ethos, often fusing anti-establishment values with high-end, corseted visuals. As an emerging designer in the seventies, Westwood, together with her then-partner Malcolm McLaren, was a key architect of the anarchic aesthetic known as punk, worn most notably by McLaren''s band the Sex Pistols. Safety pins, ripped clothes, visible seams and bondage trousers were made to shock, but also to instigate change; a theme that permeated Westwood''s work. From punk, Westwood looked to art and history, drawing inspiration for her Pirate collection and New Romantic outfits of the eighties, before closing out the decade with parodies of the upper classes in her now iconic bustle skirts and ''mini-crini'' crinolines. In 1992, she received an OBE for her services to fashion design, topping it up in 2006 with a Damehood. Revered by royalty and rock stars alike, her eponymous label - now overseen by creative director Andreas Kronthaler, Westwood''s husband since 1992 - still resonates with celebrity clients worldwide. Fully illustrated throughout, Vivienne Westwood: Provocateur chronicles the celebrated fashion designer''s style, life and legacy.
