TASCHEN New Book Release “20th Century Fashion”
30 Jun 2009
PRESS RELEASE
June 2009
The 20th century saw fashion evolve from an exclusive Parisian salon business for a wealthy elite into a global industry employing millions, with new trends whisked into stores before the last model left the catwalk.
The signature feminine silhouettes of each era evolved beyond recognition. In menswear, ready-made suits signalled the demise of bespoke tailoring, long before Hawaiian shirts, skinny ties or baggy pants entered the fore.
20th Century Fashion offers a stylish retrospective of the last hundred years, via 400 fashion advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. This book documents the unrelenting pace of fashion as it was adopted into the mass culture, decade by decade.
An in-depth introduction, chapter text, and illustrated timeline detail the style-makers and trend-setters, from couture to the mass market; and how the historic events, design houses, retailers, films, magazines, and celebrities shaped the way we dressed—then and now.

SVA Announces Coming Public Displays
30 Jun 2009
PRESS RELEASE
June 2009
This summer, two alumni are taking their work to the streets of New York City as part of two different public art installations.
‘A Clearing in the Streets,’ co-created by Sarah Wayland-Smith (MFA 1999 Fine Arts), is a 10-sided panoramic mural surrounding an enclosed landscape of native plants and grasses. Over a four-month period, viewers will be able to see the plants within the structure grow from seedlings into a lush meadow. The installation was commissioned by the Public Art Fund and will be on display through October 2009 at Collect Pond Park, located on Leonard Street between Centre and Lafayette Streets.
Malin Abrahamsson's (BFA 1998 Fine Arts) work, ‘On the Trail of the Rising Sun,’ similarly deals with the interplay between nature and the man-made. Abrahamsson created glass and ceramic mosaics portraying assorted local vistas for a permanent installation at the Valley Stream Station on the Long Island Rail Road. One of the mosaics will also be on display in the exhibition ‘The Route of the Dashing Commuter: The Long Island Rail Road at 175,’ runs through September 13, at the New York Transit Museum, located at the corner of Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street in Brooklyn Heights
