Flapper Fashion In The Context Of Cultural Changes Of America In The 1920s,
CUNY Graduate Center
Flapper Fashion In The Context Of Cultural Changes Of America In The 1920s, Soo Hyun Park
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This study aimed to analyze the key characteristics of flapper fashion, which shaped the American fashion scene in the 1920s, and to review how this trend reflected the society at that time, which was changing fast in terms of the society, economy, and culture. Towards this end, comprehensive scanning of flapper-related images found in a variety of media at the time was done, and it was revealed that flapper fashion indeed reflected the prominent changes in women's role in the society in compliance with the early-20th-century modernity, which was a far cry from the traditions, while at the same time …

Interpreting Thonet: The Conservation Treatment And Analysis Of A Gebrüder Thonet Bentwood Rocking Chair, Paige Schmidt
Art Conservation Master's Projects
A Gebrüder Thonet bentwood rocking chair owned by a private client was treated and analyzed. A custom mold was built in order to reconstruct the chair’s missing backsplat, which was created out of bendable plywood and beech veneer. Araldite AV 1252 epoxy putty was used to fill major losses and unoriginal tack holes. In addition to inpainting fills and replacement componenets, large areas of stripped and sanded finish were compensated with dewaxed shellac and acrylic emulsion paints. The wood was determined to be beech (Fagus) via wood identification using polarized light microscopy (PLM). Cross sections of the finish were examined …
Japanese Kimono Fashion Of The Early Twentieth Century,
Textile Society of America
Japanese Kimono Fashion Of The Early Twentieth Century, Annie Van Asche
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
This paper examines the development of popular kimono fashion from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. I focus on kimono worn by modem-thinking young women whose wardrobes, by the 1920's, included both new Western and recreated Japanese garments and accessories. The meisen kasuri kimono, the most popular new style of kimono among women living in the growing urban metropolitan centers, is highlighted. It covers an unprecedented historical period of rapid modernization and Westernization of Japan, which brought about societal changes that dramatically--and positively--transformed the lives of Japanese women. I begin with a historical sketch of the industrialization of …

Tapestry Crochet In The Americas, Europe, Africa, And The Middle East:
Tradition And Innovation,
Tennessee Technological University
Tapestry Crochet In The Americas, Europe, Africa, And The Middle East: Tradition And Innovation, Carol Ventura
Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings
Tapestry crochet was historically done in just a few countries, but globalization and the internet have spread this versatile art form around the world. Publications and online groups have helped keep this tradition alive and have inspired many innovative uses-from designer accessories to contemporary museum installations. Tapestry crocheted fabric is solid and smooth with motifs and imagery, much like tapestry woven cloth. Because of the similar look and feel, most people cannot tell the difference between the two. Techniques vary from place to place, perhaps because they developed from different types of looped bags, gloves, and bags. For instance, in …

Tunics Worn In Egypt In Roman And Byzantine Times: The Greek Vocabulary,
University of Copenhagen
Tunics Worn In Egypt In Roman And Byzantine Times: The Greek Vocabulary, Maria Mossakowska-Gaubert
Textile Terminologies from the Orient to the Mediterranean and Europe, 1000 BC to 1000 AD
The principal element of the fashion in clothing introduced in Egypt with the arrival of the Romans was a tunic made of two rectangular pieces of fabric sewn together. Such a tunic either would leave the arms naked, or cover the arms to the elbow (fig. 1). This fashion changed with the turn of the 2nd and 3rd century AD. At this time, in addition to the tunics without sleeves, the inhabitants of Egypt started to wear tunics with ‘true’ sleeves – long or short, wide or tight – inspired by the Eastern fashion: the manner of making the tunics …
