Erich Berger Erich Berger interface, mathematical, structures
Erich Berger is a master of the obscure interface. With an engineering degree in communications and a Master degree in philosophy, it should perhaps not come as a surprise that Berger is interested in paradox. His fascination for mathematical structures is obvious in his visual language, consisting of the formal patterns of squares, lines and rectangles. No attempt is made to create an organic quality, the shapes are pure abstraction.
Fashion and Modernity Christopher Breward, Caroline Evans 2005 book, fashion, history, contemporary fashion
This book tests the very definition of modernity and enhances our understanding of the role of fashion in the modern world. From top hats to locomotives, dresses to retail outlets, fashion is a prism through which modernity reflects and refracts. Breward and Evans bring together an organic collaboration of voices on this subject. The collection ranges from such topics as James Morrison (1789-1857), the Napoleon of Shopkeepers; to dress in the Stuart era; The Mannequin Parade, 1900-1925; and clothing the London actress (1860-1914). From the relationship between clothing and forensic sciences, to the play of performance, parasexuality, and the celebrity, Fashion and Modernity offers an enlightening look at fashion and the modern age.
