Overview
This book offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between fashion and motherhood, a topic that is explored in detail for the first time. Mothers, mother figures, mentors and family ties are intimately intertwined with fashion history. Many designers reach back to the style of their mother's day, but mums themselves are also a big source of inspiration. Symbolic fashion mothers, such as Jeanne Lanvin, Madeleine Vionnet and Sonia Rykiel, made an artistic mark on the creations of their contemporaries and are still influencing present-day designers. From 1900 onward there was a growing appreciation of the cultural identity of mothers, both in fashion and in society. In 20th and 21st century fashion, this culminated in a veritable celebration of mothers and mother figures. AUTHORS: Karolien De Clippel is the director of the Fashion Museum Hasselt.

Reviews
""While the exhibition at the Hasselt Fashion Museum has just ended, the catalogue ""M&Others: Fashion & Motherhood"" (ed Lannoo) is an opportunity for reflection, that of the relationship between motherhood and fashion."" - L'Officiel Italia Influencer and journalist Danae Mercer Ricci shared M&Others in her Instagram story. - Instagram ""The recently published book M&Others: Fashion & Motherhood, released by Lannoo Publishers, is the first international publication to thoroughly explore the ways in which motherhood has inspired fashion and sparked significant societal change."" - Marie Clare Hungary
""...explores fashion through the rarely examined viewpoint of mother figures in all their forms....unpack[s] the challenge of fashion-making and having a family. Within fashion museology, there has been surprisingly little research on the topic."" -Exhibition review, Wallpaper*
