Abstract:

This article explores the use of newspaper-printed fabric in nineteenth- and twentieth-century fancy dress costumes, as well as its employment by fashion designers such as Elsa Schiaparelli and John Galliano. It examines the use of authentic newspaper clippings and paper applied to fancy dress and fashion, and discusses Viktor and Rolf's innovative method of using real newspaper within their conceptual framework.
