This book accompanies an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art from 8 October 2004 to 16 January 2005. As one of the most alluring yet elusive concepts in contemporary style, glamour is an ideal that permeates our visual culture. This lavishly illustrated book radically revises our understanding of glamour in fashion, industrial design and architecture. The volume traces glamour's trajectory from its historical middle-class origins to its present-day connotations of affluence and elegance. In doing so, 'glamour' is established as a new critical category for design that embraces richly decorative patterns, complex layering, sumptuous materials and sculptural forms. Following a general introduction on the culture and consumption of glamour, three essays explore the concept as it has evolved in the fields of fashion, design and architecture. Valerie Steele examines the construction of glamour from nineteenth-century fashion to the golden age of Hollywood and beyond, addressing the creations of Adrian, Christian Dior, Chanel, Gucci and Versace, among others. Phil Patton discusses the industrial designs of Bentley, Jakob + MacFarlane, Marc Newson, Greg Lynn and more, link
