El Arte Nrdico De La Geometra

Un mundo lleno de brillo y color, hecho de centenares de reflejos multicolores, está a punto de revelarse ante sus ojos… Es la magia de los objetos realizados con cuentas: pulseras, anillos, collares para uno mismo o para regalar a los amigos… Pero también llaveros, decoraciones para las tarjetas de felicitación, cinturones, bolsos… y adornos para los lápices, diademas, broches… Podrá seguir las instrucciones e imágenes para realizar sus primeras creaciones; luego, cuando adquiera habilidad, podrá dar rienda suelta a su fantasía y sorprender a todo el mundo.

A richly illustrated, bilingual book, this guide visits 20 villages in the Chiapas Highlands to showcase their stunning handwoven cloth while also providing an insider’s look into their history, folklore, festivals, traditions, and daily lives. Ritual transvestites, Virgin statues draped with native blouses, tunics designed to look like howler monkey fur, and elaborately floral shawls and ponchos—these are just a few of the unforgettable images captured in the book. Also included are a pull-out map of the Chiapas Highlands and dates of special festivals and local markets.

This book describes in a simple and entertaining way many aspects of fashion design, from style and construction of garments, to the history of the different epochs and an analysis of fashion icons. The text looks at fashion design as an integral part of cultures and as a reflection of society in a given time.
