Helen Littman's textile designs for the English Eccentrics fashion partnership are instantly recognizable. Her trademark is a series of rich trompe-l'oeil scarves collected by museums such as the Victoria and Albert and illustrated by leading fashion magazines as essential accessories. The colour combinations, produced with intense acid dyes, are a trademark, and are reproduced in this book. The book is both a catalogue of some of the most beautiful and influential textile designs of the 1980s, and an account of the influences and processes that underlie them. Helen Littman writes about the importance of travel, ideas about the mind, green issues and the women's peace movement in generating her designs. The book, designed by Carroll, Dempsey & Thirkell, illustrates the designs in full colour throughout.

Design: The Key Concepts

In Feel-Bad Postfeminism, Catherine McDermott provides crucial insight into what growing up during empowerment postfeminism feels like, and outlines the continuing postfeminist legacy of resilience in girlhood coming-of-age narratives. McDermott's analysis of Gone Girl (2012), Girls (2012-2017) and Appropriate Behaviour (2012) illuminates a major cultural turn in which the pleasures of postfeminist empowerment curdle into a profound sense of rage and resentment. By contrast, close examination of The Hunger Games (2008-2010), Girlhood (2014) and Catch Me Daddy (2014) reveals that contemporary genres are increasingly constructing girls as uniquely capable of resiliently overcoming and adapting to unforgiving social conditions. She develops an affective vocabulary to better understand contemporary modes of defiant, transformative and relational resilience, as well as a framework through which to expand on further modes that are specific to the genres they emerge within. Overall, the book suggests that exploration of the affective dimensions of girls' and women's culture can offer new insights into how coming-of-age, girlhood and femininity are culturally produced in the aftermath of postfeminism.
