{"product_id":"thema-selection-female-chic-english-edition","title":"Thema Selection – Female Chic (English Edition)","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe fashion label Thema Selection and its outlet in Oberdorf, a  Zürich neighborhood, made quite a splash back in the 1970s in the placid  city along the Limmat River. The label attracted notice with its unique  style and eccentric fashion shows, and the shop itself became a  favorite haunt of Zürich’s arts scene over the years. The shop and label  creators Katharina Bebié, Ursula Rodel and Sissi Zoebeli were joined a  few years later by Elisabeth Bossard, then Christa Derungs, and now  Sonnhild Kestler.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eTheir plainly-cut work clothes for women made  from men’s fabrics, garments that play on their androgyny, were way  ahead of their time when first displayed at their original shop at Weite  Gasse 9: in those days, most women dressed either like hippies or staid  matrons. For two years the shop hardly drew any business, until in 1974  Vogue magazine wrote rapturously about the avant-garde fashion in  Oberdorf. The three fashion shows that followed were the talk of the  town, bolstered by headlines about international movie stars outfitted  by Ursula Rodel and Sissi Zoebeli, as well as plenty of urban legends –  which, unfortunately, can’t all be cleared up within the scope of this  book. For who these women from Thema Selection were varies from one  account to the next: sometimes it was the same configuration for years,  then the lineup changed again. The official membership of this creative  undertaking was never decisive, it was a shared can-do business credo  that really mattered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe backdrop to the history of this  avant-garde enterprise is recounted here by the shop’s founders as well  as their companions along the way, who were then, and remain to this  day, part of that special zest for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e With texts by  Elisabeth Bronfen, Katharina Tietze, Martin Jaeggi, Jacqueline  Burckhardt, Laurence Frey, This Brunner, Sibylle Berg, Walter Keller,  Bice Curiger, and many more.
