Most everything is subject to the dictates of fashion and the work clothes that we all wear, for the greater part of the day, are no exception. With the extraordinary economic and social revolution that has taken place in the Western world, as a result of which we are all working too much and all the time, even the function of clothing has changed and cannot help but shout out what we do, communicate to the world who we are. In recent years workwear has undergone a continual evolution in its formal and technical research as well as in its progressive codification, on a worldwide scale, of trades and professions on the basis of their characteristic clothing.
Through a sort of cataloguing of materials drawn directly from various working environments, Olivier Saillard, a fashion historian and curator of the Mus�e de la mode et du textile in Paris, and Oliviero Toscani, internationally renowned photographer and creator of brands such as Esprit, Valentino, Chanel, and Fiorucci, reflect on forms, uses and materials in this innovative book. A cataloguing that is interwoven with fashion and its research, showing the extent to which workwear has had an influence not just on fashion itself but also on our contemporary mode of dress. Designers like Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior, Prada/Miu Miu, Versace and Louis Vuitton have been able to give a new identity and beauty to technical and functional elements, coming up with endless variations on the simple elegance of the working garment.
Il n'est plus gu�re de choses qui ne soient pas aujourd'hui soumises aux dictats de la mode, et les v�tements de travail que nous portons tous, durant la majeure partie de la journ�e, n'y font pas exception. Apr�s la r�volution extraordinaire qu'a connu l'Occident sur les plans �conomique et social, et qui a eu pour effet de nous faire travailler tous trop et sans arr�t, m�me la fonction de l'habillement a chang�: le v�tement t�moigne ostensiblement de ce que nous faisons et montre au monde entier qui nous sommes. Depuis quelques ann�es, le v�tement de travail a connu une �volution continue, non seulement sur le plan de la recherche formelle et technique, mais aussi, � l'�chelle mondiale, par le biais d'une codification progressive des m�tiers et des professions fond�e sur l'aspect caract�ristique des tenues associ�es.
Olivier Saillard, historien de la mode et conservateur du Mus�e de la mode et du textile de Paris, et Oliviero Toscani, photographe et cr�ateur de renomm�e internationale pour des marques telles que Valentino, Esprit, Chanel ou Fiorucci, se livrent dans cet ouvrage innovateur � une r�flexion sur les formes, les utilisations et les mat�riaux, en nous invitant � parcourir une sorte de catalogue des mati�res et accessoires directement tir�s des diff�rents milieux de travail. Cet inventaire, qui entrem�le adroitement mode et recherche, montre dans quelle mesure le v�tement de travail a influenc� non seulement la mode, mais aussi notre fa�on contemporaine de nous v�tir. Des stylistes comme Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior, Prada/Miu Miu, Versace et Louis Vuitton ont su donner une nouvelle identit� et une nouvelle esth�tique � des �l�ments techniques et fonctionnels, en apportant des variations infinies � l'�l�gance simple des tenues de travail.
