"Pop! Design, Culture, Fashion 1956-1976 celebrates the best in design, the book is a stunning visual guide to the graphics and ephemera that has created the myth and memories of when Pop was born" Design Week. "Together with the exhibition, the book provides a treasure trove of great ideas and historical references not to be missed by all who seek inspiration from the 1950s to the 70s." It looks at record covers and packaging designs by Pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton and the work of fashion designers such as Mary Quant, Barbara Hulanicki from Biba, Vivienne Westwood and John Stephen of Carnaby Street fame, as well as their contemporaries in America such as Betsey Johnson of Paraphernalia. Pop graphics are also covered from the psychedelic posters of Alan Aldridge and the design collective 'Hapdash and the Colored Coat' to rock posters from San Francisco and the west coast of America. There are also reproductions of rarely-seen underground magazines such as Oz, Gandalf's Garden, l Actuel and the International Times. The ephemeral nature of much of Pop design is explored from paper furniture and 'throwaway' paper dresses, to longer-lasting trends such as Union Jack clothing, metal badges, machine-embroidered denim, printed t-shirts and tin badges. Whilst there have been innumerable books on the Swinging Sixties and on Pop Art, this is the first book to look at Pop design over a twenty year span and to examine the interconnected nature of so many elements of the phenomenon such as books and magazines, music, film, fashion and graphic art. It is also unique in that the illustrations are not sourced from the usual magazine archive images but are photographs of the artefacts themselves, from Elton John's waistcoat, embroidered with suns, stars and rainbows, to Twiggy coat hangers, psychedelic book covers and every teenager's must-have item: 'Glo Glo boots for Go Go girls'.
