Résumé:
In 1903, Adolf Loos edited the journal Das Andere – Ein Blatt zur Einführung abendländischer 'Kunst in Österreich', in which he expressed his thoughts on, and theories of, contemporary architecture, fashion, and design. The publication was born out of Loos’ aversion to a superficial aestheticization of life in Austria, which he saw embodied by the “Wiener Secession” and later on “Wiener Werkstätte” and “Werkbund”. As a counterbalance, in Das Andere he showed his admiration especially for the fashion and culture of England and America. Contemporary advertisements on these subjects were included in the journal, which ran for just two issues. Beatriz Colomina supplements the reprint of Das Andere with an extensive commentary.

Résumé:
Throughout his life Adolf Loos raised his eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, frivolous ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. His admirers consider him to be the inspiration for all modern architecture. Yet, few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary work reflecting on applied design and the essence of clothing in fin de siècle Vienna. Adolf Loos often had a radical, yet innovative outlook on life that made him such a nuisance for many of his contemporaries. His provocative musings on many subjects portray him as a man of varied interests and intellectual refinement as well as possessing a keen sense of style, which still has value today. For the first time the ‘Loos Dress Code’ is available in English. Included is a short social/historical look as the birth of Modernism in Adolf Loos’ Vienna.

"D'un combat de trente années, je suis sorti vainqueur. J'ai libéré l'humanité de l'ornement superflu. "Ornement", ce fut autrefois le qualificatif pour dire "beau". C'est aujourd'hui, grâce au travail de toute ma vie, un qualificatif pour dire "d'une valeur inférieure". De toute évidence l'écho renvoyé se prend pour la voix elle-même (...). Je sais que l'humanité m'en(...)
