L’héraldique est un art graphique dont l’aspect visuel est primordial. La description d’un blason se fait par un langage très codifié, issu du Moyen-Âge et pratiquement inchangé depuis. Malgré cela, son usage est toujours d’actualité : beaucoup de villes, d’équipes sportives, d’associations, d‘entreprises, etc. ont un blason ou un logo souvent inspiré de l’héraldique.

Le but est ici de rendre le langage héraldique plus accessible. Outil indispensable aux illustrateurs, décorateurs, sculpteurs et autres tailleurs de pierre, cet ouvrage décrypte les principaux termes de cette science auxiliaire de l'histoire ; il propose un large éventail de dessins (plus de 1300 exemples) permettant au lecteur de composer selon les règles presque tous les blasons et il intéressera aussi les amateurs d’iconographie médiévale.

When it comes to dress, less can most definitely be more. In this striking new book, journalist Harriet Walker surveys one of the most wide-reaching movements in fashion. Minimalism has its roots in the early twentieth century, when women’s clothes became pared down and practical after centuries of complex construction. Walker reviews the work of designers who, over the decades, have adopted minimalist principles in their work, from Coco Chanel, who liberated women from Edwardian formal dress, to Donna Karan and Jil Sander, whose workwear offered women a feminine but credible alternative to power dressing; and from the avant-garde style of Japanese masters Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto to contemporary interpretations by Gareth Pugh, Roland Mouret, COS and Zara. With 250 colour illustrations, including specially commissioned photographs, Less is More is the engaging story of an abiding aesthetic that has subtly shaped modern fashion.

- The definitive guide to this influential fashion movement, from its origin in the early twentieth century to its current revival by cutting-edge designers and on the high street
- Includes the work of Chanel, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Armani, Prada, Jil Sander, Helmut Lang, Hussein Chalayan and many more
