弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫扮演着“幽灵叙述者”的角色,她的小说节选反映了时间的流逝和随后的每一对。普利策小时小说奖得主迈克尔·坎宁安(Michael Cunningham)的一篇短篇小说讲述了一个女人在150年的时间里,通过不断变化的时尚生活的一天。学者西奥多·马丁分析了对时间本质的理论回应,强调时间不仅仅是一系列历史事件。时尚摄影师尼古拉斯·艾伦·科普(Nicholas Alan Cope)用出色的黑白摄影捕捉了120种时尚。这本惊人的书揭示了时尚与线性时间概念的矛盾联系。 Traces fashions from 1870 to the present along a conceptual, disruptive, and nontraditional timeline of fashion history
About Time: Fashion and Duration traces the evolution of fashion, from 1870 to the present, through a linear timeline of iconic garments, each paired with an alternate design that jumps forward or backward in time. These unexpected pairings, which relate to one another through shape, motif, material, pattern, technique, or decoration, create a disruptive fashion chronology that conflates notions of past, present, and future.
Virginia Woolf serves as “ghost narrator,” and excerpts from her novels reflect on the passage of time with each subsequent pairing. A new short story by Michael Cunningham, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Hours, recounts a day in the life of a woman over a time span of 150 years through her changing fashions. Scholar Theodore Martin analyzes theoretical responses to the nature of time, underscoring that time is not simply a sequence of historical events. Fashion photographer Nicholas Alan Cope captures 120 fashions with sublime black-and-white photography. This stunning book reveals fashion’s paradoxical connection to linear notions of time.
