The definitive monograph on Dieter Rams, one of the most influential product designers of the twentieth century 

As head of design at Braun from 1961 to 1995, Dieter Rams created some of the twentieth century’s most iconic objects. Rams’s life and work are indelibly linked to his thoughts about how people live, and how they can live better.

Products he designed in the 1960s are still produced and sold today, and his ideas on good design continue to inspire designers and consumers. Now available again with a stunning new cover, this comprehensive monograph, with a foreword by Jonathan (Jony) Ive, former chief design officer of Apple, explores not only Rams’s life and work, but also his design philosophy.

The book includes detailed text covering Rams’s life, the intellectual context in which he worked, his designs for Braun and Vitsœ, and the ideas and lectures he developed as an advocate for good design. Sketches and photographs of finished products and prototypes provide insight into Rams’s design process, diverse archival material gives a complete picture of his life and work, and specially commissioned photographs of Dieter Rams’s house and the Braun archive provide an exclusive glimpse of the world’s most complete collection of Rams’s designs.

Known for the hundreds of iconic products he designed for Braun and Vitsœ, this comprehensive and exhaustive monograph also features Rams's only architectural work and the ideas about living sustainably embodied in his ‘ten principles’.

The most important feature of my life – I would be both ungrateful and untruthful if I failed to acknowledge it immediately – has been my good luck; and I must also acknowledge my debt to the fortune-tellers who have predicted it.’

Благодаря творческому тандему Dior и Патрика Демаршелье увидел свет художественных альбом, который знакомит читателя с историей одного из самых знаменитых модных домов. На страницах издания – знаковые модели, которые в свое время стали прорывом в мире дизайнерской одежды.

Кристиан Диор создал свою империю благодаря таланту и интуиции. Он сумел разгадать, чего хочет женщина в суровые послевоенные годы, и признал за ней право оставаться воздушной, утонченной и прекрасной. Концепция New Look принесла успех начинающему дизайнеру и вернула женственность в Париж.

Двести сорок страниц альбома представляют историю одной модной революции. Здесь снимки нарядов коллекции 1947 г., с которой началось триумфальное шествие Кристиана Диора, работы Ив Сен Лорана, платья Марка Боана и, конечно же, шедевры Джона Гальяно, который принял эстафету. Эпоха следует за эпохой в фасонах и образах, переданных через объектив одного из самых известных фотохудожников нашего времени.

В книге представлены снимки, сделанные автором по всему миру. В кадре более ста кутюрных нарядов, вдохновенные образы и самые прекрасные женщины современности: Наталья Водянова, Жизель Бундхен, Шарлиз Терон и др.

Патрик Демаршелье родился в Гавре в 1943 г. и с юных лет увлекся искусством фотографии. Художник пережил немало на пути к успеху, однако талант и сильная натура позволили ему получить признание и успех. Полное отсутствие образования не помешало мастеру создавать культовые календари для Pirelli, выпускать популярные альбомы, появляться на страницах авторитетных изданий, таких как Elle, Rolling Stone, Harpers Bazaar, Vogue, а также сотрудничать с мировыми домами моды.

Celebrating Dior’s floral inspirations in fashion and perfume, this unique volume features a portfolio of rose portraits by acclaimed fashion photographer Nick Knight.

For Christian Dior, perfume was “a door opening into a hidden world.” His first, Miss Dior, inspired by the lush gardens of his childhood home in Normandy, forged an inextricable link between his fashion and fragrance creations. Other scents were inspired by evenings in southern France, lit with fireflies and scented with jasmine. The rose bowers of his family home in Granville; his old mill country house; and the Château de la Colle Noire near Grasse ― where jasmine, tuberose, and May roses reign supreme and are still cultivated ― inspired Dior’s most memorable creations.

Flowers were also at the heart of Dior’s fashion, from the women-flowers that inspired the late 1940s New Look to the swishing, blossom-like ball gowns embroidered with lavish floral motifs. They have inspired all of the designers who followed him at the House of Dior, from Yves St Laurent to John Galliano, and Raf Simons to Maria Grazia Chiuri.

This extraordinary volume blooms with color and inspiration, and includes rose portraits by Nick Knight, previously unpublished archival documents, exquisite details of embroidery and fabrics, perfumes, fashion sketches, and sublime fashion photographs.

Published to mark the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s greatest couture houses, this gorgeous book combines Christian Dior’s classics with the newest creations

Christian Dior achieved immortality with his first collection in 1947. His ‘New Look’ amazed the world as it emerged after wartime austerity, and reset the boundaries of modern elegance. Dior’s search for the perfect line and the ideal silhouette has been celebrated by couturiers of the first rank: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri have all made their distinctive contribution.

This book honours Dior’s influence by celebrating the elements of style for every generation since 1947, through inspired pairings of classic and contemporary photographs. Six thematic chapters express outstanding Dior characteristics, including the silhouette, the evening gown and the eternal muse - in short, the aspects of the House that lend it unique distinction both then and now. The most beautiful fashion plates from Dior’s own time sit beside examples of the house’s creations through the decades. The resonance between classic archive photographs and the latest most up-to-date frames is clear and compelling.
