Synopsis
This history of fashion traces the evolution of nylon and other manmade materials, starting in the late 19th century when rayon was invented. The author describes American manufacturers' marketing efforts of the 1940s, explaining how it was not until the mid-1950s, when Christian Dior and other famous designers began to experiment with synthetic fibers, that nylon became a retail success. A survey exploring the creative clothes of several late 20th-century designers--including Rei Kawakubo, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Helmut Lang--reveals the numerous fashion and function possibilities of synthetic blends.
