Mohawk Papers Mills published the Design and Style series twice yearly as a survey of historic design style and typography and its influence on contemporary graphic design. Various Mohawk papers and printing techniques were employed in this outstanding aesthetically appealing example of graphic design. Design & Style's mission was to examine the relationship between printing technology and graphic style. Mohawk promised “future issues will explore French Art Deco, Dutch De Stijl, Italian Futurism, Russian Constructivism, German Expressionism, DaDa, Surrealism, and Post Modernism." Unfortunately, the Russian Constructivism, German Expressionism, DaDa and Post Modernism editions never materialized. Volume Seven's Bauhaus tribute was a pretty good bone to throw those of us who anxiously awaited each volumes' publication back in the day.

Here Streamline was portrayed as a style deriving from "Modernism, as extolled by Futurism, Constructivism, De Stijl and Bauhaus, [that] was exported to America via books, annuals and the many proponents of the movement who emigrated to New York and Chicago, Their distinctly European ideas were wed to the developing American design forms, resulting in a pluralistic but distinct period style - a blend of the decorative and the austere, the modern and the moderne, the geometric and the biomorphic.”

Have you ever scanned the Graphic Design section at your local Barnes and Noble and wondered why nearly every Graphic Design "history" book is crammed full of pretty color reproductions with the history presented as footnotes? It all started in 1986 with the Mohawk Papers Mills of Cohoes, New York.

When Mohawk Papers Mills teamed up with design historian Steven Heller and designer Seymour Chwast to publish a series of paper promotions chronicling the history of Design and Style, nobody could have possibly realized the long-term influence of the venture.

Here's how Mohawk trumpeted their series introduction JUGENSTIL:  "Welcome to "Design and Style, a journal to be published semi-annually by Mohawk Paper Mills, Inc. in collaboration with its creators, Seymour Chwast of The Pushpin Group and Steven Heller, senior Art Director of The New York Times Book Review."

"The rich legacy of design history from right before the turn of the century to the present day, as defined by stylistic movements, affords the unique opportunities for the display of startling historic images made even more visually stimulating when printed on a variety of the colors and textures available from the Mohawk Collection of fine Text and Cover Papers."

This series of paper promotions inadvertently set the tone for modern design history by presenting classic examples of Graphic Design culled from many public and private collections, as selected by Heller and Chwast (aided by respective spouses Louis Fili and Paula Scher, no doubt).

Heller mastered this dumpster-diving method by first turning it into a book with Chwast (Graphic Style: From Victorian To Post-Modern: NYC: Abrams 1988), and then an entire series for Chronicle Books with spouse Louise Fili: Deco Espana, Italian Art Deco, Deco Type, Japanese Modern, French Modern, Streamline, Dutch Moderne, and British Moderne).

A lovely and inexpensive touch for formal events.
Color: Navy Blue
Beautiful navy blue color, and well made! Nice to be able to carry it over the shoulder or by hand, with the strap tucked inside the bag.

Not Too Big or Too Small; Perfect Size
First of all, the picture shown on Amazon does not do this purse justice. The colour is beautiful and it pops. I love the design of this purse as it is not too big and not too small; it's is just the perfect size for any occasion. The styling of the outer layer is just perfect and not too over the top. Normally, when purses have rhinestones on them, it often gives off a rough feel but not this purse so no need to worry about that. Lastly and my favourite part is the small pocket that is inside. I'm a girl who loves to bring her ID and debit cards wherever she goes plus her little cash so that small pocket will be perfect to store these. This is definitely worth it.

Cute bag, cheap chain
Color: Stain Navy Blue1
Very cute, very spacious. I was able to keep my phone and a mini sewing kit with me but the chain broke 10 minutes into the reception while standing in line for the buffet. The whole point in buying this was so I could keep my stuff with me and not risk putting it on a table to the side of the dance floor after dinner. The bag itself is cute and I can get a replacement chain but it's unfortunate that I have to spend more money to make it work.
