Sinossi

Belts and Functionality explores the surprising journey of belts, transforming from simple garment supports to powerful symbols of fashion and identity. Initially crucial for securing clothing, belts evolved significantly, reflecting societal shifts and technological advancements. The book highlights how social status influenced belt design; for example, elaborate belts once signified wealth and authority, illustrating the cultural significance woven into this everyday item.

 
The book examines the belt's functional development, symbolic representation, and impact on the fashion industry. By tracing its history from ancient civilizations through the Renaissance and into modern fashion trends, the book reveals how belts reflect our enduring need for both practicality and self-expression.

 
From early materials and construction to mass production and designer influences, each chapter unfolds chronologically, culminating in a look at the future of belts in an increasingly sustainable and technologically integrated world. Offering a fresh perspective on an often-overlooked accessory, Belts and Functionality is valuable for fashion enthusiasts, design students, and historians alike. Its detailed research and clear style provide insights into fashion history, making it accessible to anyone curious about the evolution of everyday objects.

    Linda Litteral is a survivor of incest and rape who used art to heal from the destruction to the body and spirit which comes from physical and sexual abuse. In this courageous memoir, Litteral shares the story of her abuse, spanning eight years of incest perpetrated by her grandfather, a rape she experienced in high school, and physical and verbal violence she suffered at the hands of her first husband. She offers an in-depth psychological profile of the effects of abuse, including silence, shame, invisibility, powerlessness, guilt, and difficulties with trust and identity. She also illustrates how the body remembers abuse through symptomatology like dissociation, anxiety, chronic illness, and other post-traumatic stress responses. 
    Yet Litteral has done more than survive her past—she’s found a way to thrive in the present. She generously catalogs all the healing modalities she has experienced in her decades of undoing the destruction of her past, including talk therapy, meditation, yoga, breathwork, Tai Chi, and somatic-based therapies like acupuncture, EMDR, sacral cranial therapy, and Thought Field Therapy. But it’s when Litteral discovers the power of creating and sharing her art that her healing journey begins in earnest. Accompanied by rich full-color images of her art in every chapter, Litteral shares stories about the creation of her pieces, their stunning symbology, and how they aided in her healing journey. Litteral is both an artist and an activist, a fierce champion for survivors, and an unabashed advocate for the healing power of art.

    Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian painter credited as being among the first to truly venture into abstract art. He persisted in expressing his internal world of abstraction despite negative criticism from his peers. He veered away from painting that could be viewed as representational in order to express his emotions, leading to his unique use of colour and form. Although his works received heavy censure at the time, in later years they would become greatly influential.
