A chronicle of the pioneering and subversive brand Parachute and its influence on the evolution of fashion in the 1980s and beyond. From its beginnings inspired by New Wave subculture to its position as an international fashion sensation, the Parachute brand from Montreal was recognized for its visionary, bold apparel and innovative concept stores. Avant-garde in attitude and design, Parachute brought together high and low, the establishment and the underground. The clothing was defined by androgynous looks, oversized silhouettes, elevated essentials, and graphic references to past and future, from exaggerated trench coats to “space samurai kimonos.” Together with a considered retail presence, which combined an industrial aesthetic in the stores with exuberant photography campaigns, the brand created a vision for street fashion that is keenly relevant today.

Con treinta y dos páginas nuevas respecto a la edición anterior, el nuevo contenido aporta, entre otras cosas, una amplia gama de familias tipográficas y un espacio para los trabajos de las diseñadoras, así como de otros colectivos históricamente silenciados. Convertido en un referente indiscutible, la obra se dirige a los lectores y escritores, diseñadores y editores, profesores y estudiantes cuyo trabajo esté relacionado con la impredecible vida de la palabra escrita, así como a todos aquellos interesados en las cuestiones culturales y teóricas que alimentan el diseño tipográfico.

Los proyectos de muestra y los ejercicios prácticos que se incluyen, explican no solo cómo se estructura la tipografía, sino por qué se hace así, con la intención de desvelar las bases funcionales y culturales que residen tras las convenciones del diseño.
