With the motto Export or Die!, the magazine was renowned for its innovative design and adventurous editorial approach in promoting British manufacturing in the post-war period. This book takes a detailed look at the background and impact of The Ambassador. The magazine was driven by the vision of its founder Hans Juda and his wife, Elsbeth, who was responsible for much of the magazine's striking photography. Focusing on the perceived strengths of British industry, they set up ambitious photo shoots to showcase the latest couture fashions by the likes of Charles Creed and Victor Stiebel. The magazine promoted fine art as an inspiration for design, and commissioned artists such as John Piper and Henry Moore for their covers"--Book jacket. 650 0 $a Textile fabrics $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Fashion design $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Fashion $v Pictorial works. $x History $v Pictorial works. 700 1 $a Breward, Christopher, $d 1965- 700 1 $a Wilcox, Claire. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112030251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=408E843AF71F11E185565BE26AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
