Description
South Asian textiles have shaped British fashion and dress for centuries, from the fashionable chintzes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, through the silk and paisley Boteh patterns of the nineteenth century, to the orientalism of 1960s bohemian fashion. "British Asian Style" looks at the on-going importance of South Asian textiles to British culture and fashion, as styles move into the mainstream.
Chapters by leading authors focus on contemporary British Asian designers, South Asian textile production and the presence of South Asian style in shops and urban spaces.
Fully illustrated with a stunning array of images from the V&A's exceptional collections, alongside contextual and contemporary photographs from street fashion and the catwalk, "British Asian Style" is essential reading for anyone with an interest in fashion and textiles.
