Dress codes. The ultimate compendium of clothing

Clothes define people. A person’s attire, whether it’s a sari, kimono, or business suit, is an essential code to his or her culture, class, personality, even faith. Founded in 1978, the Kyoto Costume Institute recognizes the importance of understanding clothes from sociological, historical, and artistic perspectives. With one of the world’s most extensive clothing collections, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day.

Showcasing the Institute’s vast collection, Fashion is a fascinating excursion through the last three centuries of clothing trends. Featuring impeccable photography of clothing expertly displayed and arranged on custom-made mannequins, it is a testimony to attire as “an essential manifestation of our very being” and to the Institute's passion for fashion as a complex and intricate art form.

The book's authors include some of the smartest minds and sharpest eyes in fashion studies: Akiko Fukai (Chief Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute), Tamami Suoh (Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute), Miki Iwagami (Lecturer of fashion history at Sugino Fashion College (Tokyo)), Reiko Koga (Professor of fashion history at Bunka Women’s University), and Rie Nii (Associate Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute).

Conceptual clothing. The history and the art of Kawakubo's brand

Rei Kawakubo, the enigmatic head of innovative Japanese fashion house Comme des Garçons, has a special vision which extends beyond clothing to furniture, architecture, and graphic design, always defying conventional thinking. i-D examines Rei’s complex and conceptual world, digging through the magazines archive and re-visiting interviews which explore how the fashion house continues to challenge the Western ideals of body shape and garment construction. Breaking the conventional rules, Kawakubo continues to push boundaries, perfectly marrying fashion with art in the most unexpected of ways.

Packed into 120 pages is biographical and personal information as well as imagery from photographers including Paolo Roversi, David Bailey, and Emma Summerton, plus interviews with Jamie Huckbody, Josh Sims, and Terry Jones.

Glunge guru. Glamour meets grunge in the dark, dramatic world of Rick Owens

There are a few other designers like Rick Owens, whose work is so instantly recognizable by cut and bias alone. Born in California, Rick Owens launched his eponymous label in 1994. His draped, dark, and perfectly cut aesthetic is the antithesis of the sunshine-saturated, bleached-teeth image of LA, and in many ways has been integral to his success. Owens relocated to Paris in 2003, where his goth meets grunge aesthetic — affectionately known as “glunge” — continues to grow from season and season. Today, Owens is a much loved and respected fixture on the international fashion scene. His vision stretches beyond fashion to include furniture, jewelry, and fur. As well as four fashion collections a year, Owens also designs Lilies, a successful diffusion line that offers a more playful take on the designer’s signature style, a bespoke line of furniture that incorporates everything from antlers to stone and wood, and his own fur collection entitled Palais Royal.

This stunning large format photographic portfolio looks back over i-D’s archives to offer a rare insight into Rick Owens’ all-encompassing world. Highlights include cutting edge imagery from photographers including Corinne Day, Sølve Sundsbø and Hans Feurer, and insightful interviews by Terry Jones, Holly Shackleton, Jo-Ann Furniss and Ben Reardon.

The first book to celebrate the life and work of Australian designer Grant Featherston, best known for his Contour chairs and creator of hundreds of mid-century designs.

This is the first book to celebrate the life and work of Grant Featherston (1922–1995), the Melbourne-based industrial designer best-known for his Contour chairs. This collection was designed and developed in the early 1950s and remains highly sought after by mid-century modern collectors in Australia and overseas – often fetching $10,000 or more at auction.

Featherston, later joined by his second wife, Mary, designed hundreds of chairs over the next thirty years; however, this astonishing Australian industrial design partnership has gone largely uncelebrated until now. Featherston focuses on the chairs produced between 1947 and 1975 and presents a new biography of the designer, drawn from archival research and interviews with his peers. It is extensively illustrated with over 250 beautiful photographs and includes a selection from the previously unpublished personal archive of Ian Howard, the former Managing Director of Melbourne-based manufacturer Aristoc.

Contents List:

Preface • Introduction • 1. The Early Years • 2. The Contour Range • 3. Beyond Wood 4. The Age of Steel: The Aristoc Years • 5. The Talk of the Towns • 6. The Search for an Australian Style • 7. Into the Space Age: The Future is Plastic • 8. One Night Seats 9. Age of the Beanbag • 10. Revival and Legacy

Feedback offers a selection of the best actions in direct and interactive marketing sent directly to the general public or to a segmented audience, with the purpose of obtaning a direct response or interaction from the targeted persons.

Feedback presents several examples of direct response marketing bringing together projects from various disciplines in a single book, including: relational marketing, direct marketing, guerrilla marketing, interactive marketing, etc.

These specialities are illustrated with projects by agencies such as Mr. John Sample, Remo D6, Taxi Studio Ltd., Ros & Asociados, Villarrosàs, Herederos de Rowan, among others, based on direct marketing, together with others based on interactive marketing by agencies such as Wieden+Kennedy, OgilvyInterative, Forsman & Bodenfors, Big Spaceship, Cuatic, Minnim…

The pieces of work shown here belong to clients such as Sony, Amnesty International, Electronic Arts, Fila, Starbucks, Nike, Toyota, IKEA, Mango, etc., but one may also find examples of work for more modest clients, such as self-promotion campaigns by the agencies themselves or even wedding invites.

The purpose of Feedback is to illustrate the philosophy of integral marketing -also known as 360º marketing - to which most agencies and studios are currently turning to. That is why the book is divided in 5 chapters, i.e. Low Cost, Concept, 360º, Technique and Strategy.

The first chapter, Low Cost, includes projects made on a low budget such as wedding invites, greetings or self-promotion pieces, among other examples. These prove that creativity can be stretched enough to create effective and efficient campaigns with a small investment, by adding a complicity component and interacting with the recipient.

The Concept chapter presents a portfolio of projects in which the recipients’ implication becomes directly related to the concept which the product / service / brand campaign beholds, making it especially memorable as the user revives the concept experience. This goes to prove that bi-directional communication between sender and recipient, together with the active participation of both, become the best way to deliver a message.

Under 360º we continue to talk about the feedback philosophy, although this time applied to integral communication, offering an overview from different fields. Interaction has no limits – from a website to a reflection on a building front. This fact is showcased in examples such as the ambient marketing performance in a mall in which children are able to play in front of a tactile screen by using their own bodies and movements. Other campaigns may also imply printed advertising, call centres or other direct response channels.

Under Technique, the showcased examples feature an outstanding component of technical innovation – i.e. A window display which reacts to pedestrians’ movements; websites in which users can communicate not only by using their keyboard but also their webcam… Resorting to this kind of technical solutions provides a great creativity potential allowing the development of campaigns in which feedback becomes an added value for the user, turning him into an ally of the message.

The last chapter based on Strategy covers campaigns which are skillfull enough to reach their audience directly. The evidence goes to show that, in certain cases, messages which are directed to very specific audiences are more effective than those which are broadcasted through the mass media.

We hope that Feedback serves as a source of inspiration for designers and creatives alike.

This is the first book to focus on the Fendi Baguette. Launched in 1997, the so-called Fendi Baguette instantly became one of the most popular and most important accessories of the decade, earning Fendi the Fashion Group International award for accessories in 2000 and creating an enduring style icon that women the world over coveted and collected with passion. 

This gorgeously illustrated book celebrates the Baguette — a story of craftsmanship, artisanship, connoisseurship, and design. A deceptively small, simple handbag to be carried under the arm like the French loaf from which it takes its name, the Fendi Baguette has been produced in more than 700 models. Some are simple and understated, while others feature unique or deluxe materials, such as embroidery, sequins, beading, leather, fur, or crocodile skin. 

Some are embellished with precious stones, while others are wild, limited-edition works of art designed by artists such as Damien Hirst, Richard Prince, and Jeff Koons, making the Fendi Baguette a fashion must-have discreetly tucked under the arms of the most iconic women of our times.

The book, by trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort, delves into the world of contemporary fetishism to reveal an instinctive future for style and culture

This book is a key reference at a time of experimentation and intense creativity. It investigates the evolution of taste from birth to adulthood, the elevation of shoes through ever-higher heels, the psychology of branding, the effects of infantilism, the power of the colour black, the fetishising of objects, and the interaction with skin and the body.

With visually-rich – and sometimes shocking – photography and essays by established authors discussing art, clothing, design, textiles, food and beauty, this in-depth publication sheds new light on the fetishism phenomenon.

More than 50 fetishes are illustrated by inspiring visuals from the likes of Leigh Bowery and Erwin Olaf, boundary-stretching works from designers such as Formafantasma and Alexander McQueen, and eye-opening essays by Susan Piët and Valerie Steele, amongst others.

The publication of this book coincided with the 2013 edition of Mode Biennale in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

She announces the concepts, colours and materials which will be in fashion two or more years in advance. She and her closely-knit team interpret the evolution of society and the signals of consumer tastes to come, without forgetting economic reality.

Features

 -  More than 50 fetishes are illustrated by inspiring visuals.

This book charts contemporary illustration’s rich history: the rampant idealism of the 1960s, the bleak realism of the 1970s, the over-blown consumerism of the 1980s, the digital explosion of the 1990s, followed by the increasing diversification of illustration in the early twenty-first century.

The book explores the contexts in which the discipline has operated and looks historically, sociologically, politically and culturally at the key factors at play across each decade, whilst artworks by key illustrators bring the decade to life.

Contemporary illustration’s impact and influence on design and popular culture are investigated through introductory essays and profiles of leading practitioners, illustrated with examples of their finest work.
