An extensive exploration of manís ongoing obsession with animalism as expressed through fashion. Since prehistoric times, furs and feathers have been used not only for warmth and protection but also for display and adornment. Offering lively insights into the decorative possibilities of pelts and plumes, WILD: Fashion Untamed examines furís ability to announce the wealth and status of the wearer by looking at the clothing of Renaissance aristocrats as well as that of contemporary Hip-Hop performers such as P. Diddy and Missy Elliott.
WIRAD (WIRAD (Wales Institute for Research in Art & Design) art, design, research, institute
WIRAD's vision is to become Wales' premier Art & Design research institution with an internationally reputation for cutting edge research in the field. The Institute may eventually become a jointly owned independent entity of its own. By so doing, it will not only serve Wales through stimulation to creative and cultural practices, but also make very evident at an international level the high standing of research in Wales. Research may be commissioned on the contribution Wales might play in the development of pure and applied research within the Art and Design fields; aiming to ensure that the Institute is outward-looking and responsive, serving Wales by serving Europe and beyond.

In Xtreme Fashion authors Courtenay Smith and Sean Topham turn their attention to the fashion world, where haute couture is taking a backseat to serious concerns about the environment, personal safety, and privacy. Featuring more than 300 color photos and fascinating text, the authors show how real fashion starts on the streets, born of urban conditions from gang culture to teenybopper worship. They showcase the works of designers, artists, and other creative individuals such as Moreno Ferrari, Freddie Robins, Vexed Generation, Alicia Framis, Daniele Buetti, Lucy Orta, and Hussein Chalayan to illustrate the demand for clothing that can protect, extend, alter, mark or mask the human body.
