Tartan Revised and Signed by Jonathan Faiers

Tartan Revised and Signed by Jonathan Faiers is a carefully selected piece from Somerset House Shop. From the Curators of the LOVERBOY exhibition. Tartan's history has made it uniquely capable of expressing both conformity and subversion, tradition and innovation. Through positioning tartan within broader philosophical, political and cultural contexts, from the tartan-clad Highland regiments and Queen Victoria's royal endorsement, to the fabric's influence on Westwood and McQueen and a generation of Japanese designers such as Watanabe and Takahashi, Jonathan Faiers traces tartan's development from clanship to contemporary fashion and its enormous domestic and global impact. Beautifully illustrated and weaving together a story out of history, art, music, film and fashion, Tartan demonstrates that this most traditional and radical fabric has become one of extraordinary versatility and far-reaching appeal.

Ideal for readers, collectors and anyone building a thoughtful art, design or culture library. Chosen for its connection to art, design, fashion and contemporary culture, this product works well as a considered present or as a distinctive addition to your own collection.
