by Paul Margolies
On This Page
Description
"Always Remember documents an extraordinary collection of panels made for the AIDS Memorial Quilt by and for an international spectrum of fashion designers to honor friends and colleagues who have died of AIDS." "Reproduced together here for the first time in full color, these 79 panels include the hearts and signature handiwork of an international community of such fashion panelmakers as Giorgio Armani, Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass, Oscar de La Renta, Dolce & Gabbana, Katharine Hamnett, show more Christian Lacroix, Isaac Mizrahi, Thierry Mugler, Todd Oldham, Rifat Ozbek, Ralph Lauren, Yves Saint Laurent, Anna Sui, Richard Tyler, Gianni Versace, and many more." "Accompanying each panel is a statement by the designer expressing the effect of AIDS on his or her life, what the loss of a loved one represents, and what inspired the panel's design. In Always Remember, the devastating impact of AIDS on the fashion industry is movingly explored."--Jacket. show lessTags

I liked the idea of international designers making panels for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. At the same time, much of the poignancy of the Quilt derives from its nature as craft rather than art.
