| Description: |
Design-guru Stephen Bayley approaches the topic of "taste" with typical wit, drawing on his expertise in a number of fields from fashion to food. This is a new edition of his classic book, brought into the new millennia by Bayley's critique of modern design. |
| Synopsis: |
How do we define taste? The only certainty is that it shifts and changes sometimes abruptly. With the explosion of vulgar consumerism in the mid-nineteenth century, the Victorians seized upon the notion of good taste as a way of codifying middleclass mores. A century later, to talk about taste had become almost taboo, since judgments made about dress, manners, food and art can often be painfully revealing. And today? When this classic text was first published in 1991, Stephen Bayley illuminated the nuances and niceties of our mercurial understanding of taste. In this new edition, he ranges far and wide to bring us exquisitely up to date. |
