Avangard–teatr–moda (Avant-garde–theater–fashion)

Moscow: Severnyi palomnik, 2019. Sewn pb. The authors and curators of the “the Magic of Style” (Magiia  mody) organized the exhibition on which this catalogue of actual items of clothing designed in the 1920s together with illustrations from contemporary fashion publications, drawings, and photographs show the imaginative ways in which artists applied avant-garde art to clothing and costume design. Works come from the Bakhrushin Theater Museum in Moscow and the Museum of Theater and Music in St. Petersburg. The experimental ideas of the avant-garde played out in the tangible aspects of the theater—costumes and sets— and in fashion design for clothing to suit the new era. The first half of the book focuses on artists who designed costume and set design, some of whom were major artists. Malevich designed costumes for "Victory Over the Sun" in 1913. Alexander Exter drew scenery for Wilde's "Salomé" in 1918. Anton Lavinskii and Malevich designed for Mayakovsky's Mystery Bouffe  in 1918. Vavara Stepanova drew costumes for "The Death of Tarelkin" directed by Meyerhold in 1922. Alexander Vesnin designed costumes for Chesterton's "The Man Who Was Thursday”. The Stenberg brothers designed costumes for productions of the mid 1920s. Rodchenko designed costumes for Mayakovsky's "The Bedbug" in 1929 and for an unrealized production of Zamyatin’s "We”.  The second part of the book concentrates on clothing and fashion: for example, Nadezhda Lamanova's unique evolution from haute couture for the Romanovs to proletarian clothing design and Liubov Popov's dress design's of 1923–24 for the journal Fashion.USSR. 182 p., 24 cm, approx. 200 color and b/w illus., Rus.
