Publication at the very first international fashion exhibition exclusively dedicated to motherhood in relation to fashion.
The book M&Others explores the exciting interplay between fashion and motherhood using written, visual and material sources from the seventeenth century to the present. It zooms in not only on biological motherhood, but on all those who identify with the maternal experience: from foster mothers to stepmothers to artistic mothers or mentors such as Madeleine Vionnet.
M&Others embraces a multitude of voices and experiences in the form of articles by international researchers on big names such as Jeanne Lanvin, Sonia Rykiel, Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. It also includes testimonies and interviews with contemporary top designers such as Ann Demeulemeester, Simon Porte Jacquemus, Thebe Magugu and Meryll Rogge.
