"If a stitch is crooked, the whole dress is torn to shreds" Virginia Woolf, 1933. Charles Wilson Brega James (1906-78) was one of the most celebrated and sought-after couturiers of his day, and won ecstatic praise for his highly innovative designs. Without formal training, he created some of the most ambitious, dramatic couture of the twentieth century and, with the breathless support of the UK and American press, came to be the designer of choice for powerful clients including Marlene Dietrich and socialite Austine Hearst. In this book, the first in a new series examining the working methods and dressmaking practices of great designers, James's reputation is re-examined and his most breathtaking designs are analyzed in exacting detail-- from magnificent eveningwear to chic accessories. Timothy A. Long explores the previously unstudied methods James employed-- uncovering a geometric rigour and passion for materials that enabled the designer to create revolutionary garments. Featuring detailed illustrations and new garment photography, this is the perfect introduction to James's stunning work - valuable to dressmakers, designers and scholars alike.
In the midst of all the confusion, despair, and destruction of moral truth, many people ask these questions: Where is Jesus Christ? Where are his foundational institutions in the world? How does he interface with the many facades and problems of society in this twenty-first century? In Behold the Man, author Jay R. Leach shows that Jesus Christ is at work today exactly as he was during his lifetime as a man on earth two thousand years ago. Through scriptural examples, stories, and anecdotes, Leach describes how Jesus carries out the same loving and caring, reconciliatory, eternal plan of God just as he did through a physical body. Leach teaches that Jesus now works through a multifaceted corporate body known as the church, whose ministry is the same humanity Jesus attended to, experiencing the same issues, attitudes, and problems. Behold the Man communicates that Jesus is among mankind today incarnate in ordinary Christian men, women, girls, and boysenergizing our spirits, imparting his truth into our hearts, infusing resurrection power in us, and working his purpose through us in the world.
