Over 200 colour photographs of clothing and accessories, covering both traditional Russian dress and urban dress
Illuminating discussions of the place of dress in Russian society by experts in the field

This beautifully illustrated book shows examples of Russian dress and accessories from the 15th to the early 20th century. Derived from the collection of the State Historical Museum and covering both dresses worn in the countryside and in the city, this book is a fabulous feast of splendid patterns and fine detail. From exuberantly colourful and embellished dresses to elegantly sumptuous brocades and silks, the garments and accessories included in this book are an inspiration.

In the first part of the book, we look at traditional Russian dress, which was worn by all Russian peasants, by the urban petit bourgeoisie and by merchants. This type of clothing became accepted as a national dress. In the towns and cities, the dress was influenced by the Parisian styles but interpreted by Russian seamstresses reflecting the love of bright colours, multi-coloured patterns and decorative features in evidence in traditional dress.

With authoritative essays written by experts L. Yefimova and T. Aleshina, Russian Elegance is an invaluable resource for fashion designers, artists, fashion historians, set and costume designers, or anyone interested in these beautiful designs.

Strange as it may seem, however, there are almost no books devoted to this most famous of periods in Russian art. The most recent fundamental studies on the Russian Empire style appeared as long ago as 1935-1936. This means that "Russian Empire", which appears on the eve of the new millennium, can be regarded as the first attempt to assess the period in the perspective of modern art-historical studies. The new volume covers the full range of the Empire style's various manifestations in architecture and urban development, sculpture and decorative painting, integrated interior design and the creative arts and crafts - furniture, bronze-casting, light-fittings, fabrics and costume.

От одного из самых известных графических дизайнеров нашего времени 
О красоте в дизайне и искусстве 
Увлекательное и вдохновляющее чтение

От авторов:

Красота как высший эстетический идеал впала в немилость. Самые уважаемые представители сферы современного дизайна утверждают, что она их не интересует. Художники избегают ее, опасаясь, что их работы причислят к декоративному или коммерческому искусству. Можно пролистать целую стопку книг по архитектуре и ни разу не встретить даже упоминания слова «красота». Когда-то к красоте стремились все, но в начале двадцатого века это возвышенное чаяние рухнуло оземь.

Именно тогда школы дизайна стали пропагандировать принципы модернизма — течения, в котором ценится единообразие, сетка квадратных ячеек, прямоугольная композиция, черный, белый и бежевый. Подход к дизайну зданий, товаров и графики стал чисто аналитическим, выбор материалов — сугубо рациональным. Всякий дизайн стал стремиться к функциональности. Архитекторы и дизайнеры часто доходили в этом до крайностей и начинали плодить одинаковость с маниакальной одержимостью.

Авторы этой книги считают, что отвергать красоту просто глупо. Мы объясним, почему это так, на примере нашего исторического исследования философии красоты. Эту информацию мы используем, чтобы доказать: в красоте нет ничего поверхностного; напротив, красота — не просто рабочая функциональность и приятная глазу оболочка; красота — это гораздо больше. Красота — нечто истинно человеческое, присущее только нам, и красота улучшает нашу жизнь. Красивые вещи не только приносят радость — они и намного лучше функционируют.

Цитаты из книги:

Не пора ли вернуть красоту?
В XXI веке художников по-прежнему считают «авангардными», когда те выставляют в качестве произведений искусства промышленные товары, хотя этой концепции уже сто лет и она жевана-пережевана. На наш взгляд, нет ничего скучнее и банальнее, чем взять какую-либо вещь и объявить ее предметом искусства в 2018 году.

Стив Джобс и красота
Красота заботила Стива Джобса всю жизнь. Разрабатывая свои невероятно крутые продукты, он явно придерживался мнения, что красота не менее важна, чем функциональность. И миллионы людей подтвердили свое согласие с ним, голосуя кошельком.

Мода: последний оплот
Пожалуй, единственная сфера прикладного искусства, которую никогда не покидала красота, — это мода. Красотой можно поступиться, когда речь идет о городах и домах, но когда дело доходит до одежды, многим важно, чтобы форма была красивой. Функционалисты неоднократно пытались воздействовать на моду, и каждый раз женщины отказывались носить их серые робы.

Больше эстетики!
Фантазия дизайнера способна преобразить даже заброшенную парковку, сделав ее местом, где радостно проводить время. Любое неприглядное пространство можно изменить так, чтобы люди захотели там находиться или, по крайней мере, не ужасались бы каждый раз, проезжая мимо.

Практично, но безобразно
Мы провели в Instagram опрос «Какой ваш любимый цвет». Победил светло-голубой. А вот коричневый никто не любит. Мы также провели опрос с фигурами. На последнем месте оказалась прямоугольная коробка. Значит, прямоугольная коробка коричневого цвета — самая безобразная вещь в мире. Но почему-то именно эта форма именно этого цвета была самой популярной в архитектуре последнего столетия.

Красота преображает
Красота способна менять наши эмоции и поведение, влиять на наш выбор — где провести каникулы, куда вложить деньги, платить или не платить налоги. Известно, что в заброшенных общественных пространствах больше мусорят, они чаще подвергаются вандализму.

Indispensable artifacts of our material and virtual culture, calendars help us to organize our increasingly complicated lives within the framework of the passage of time. Save the Date showcases groundbreaking designs for calendars and planners, where aesthetic concerns compete with the temporal to create new and often startling combinations. No longer largely invisible or disposable, the calendars of today demand pride of placement in our homes or workplaces to be followed by a graceful retirement as collectible or covetable objects d art.

About the author

Grace Coddington’s extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director of Vogue have made her an international icon. Known through much of her career only to those who work behind the scenes, she might have remained fashion’s best-kept secret were it not for The September Issue, the 2009 documentary by R. J. Cutler that turned Grace into a sudden celebrity.

The daughter of an hotelier in Wales, as a teenager Grace won a modeling competition and moved to London. She enjoyed a lucrative career as one of London’s leading models on the 1960s scene. In 1968, following a car accident, she became a fashion editor at British Vogue. She quickly established herself as a master stylist and creative director for fashion photography, whether she was transforming studio portraiture into beguiling tableaux, reinterpreting fashion photography classics, or introducing a sweeping narrative style--storytelling with clothing that is the hallmark of Grace's work.

Bookworm’s delight — never bore, always excite!

Although separated by time, Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli-both Italian, both feminists-share striking affinities in terms of their design strategies and fashion manifestoes.

Presented as an intimate "conversation," Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations aims to tease out formal and conceptual similarities between the two designers. Striking photographs and insightful texts illustrate the parallels between the two, including their preferences for interesting textiles and prints, eccentric color palettes, and a bold and playful approach to styling and accessories.

Schiaparelli, in the 1920s through 50s, and Prada, from the late 1980s to today, exploited the narrative possibilities of prints, sought out unconventional textiles, played with ideas of good and bad taste, and manipulated scale for surrealistic outcomes. Contemporary art plays a major role in the work of these inventive women-Schiaparelli in her famous collaborations with Dali and Cocteau, and Prada via her Fondazione Prada.

Blending the historic with the contemporary, the catalogue brings the masterworks of both designers together into a grand conversation between the most important women fashion designers to ever emerge from Italy.

Filled with examples from a broad spectrum of sources – advertising, street signs, invitations, type-specimen books, personal letters – this collection will be a delight for designers and an invaluable sourcebook of long-overlooked lettering.

From wedding announcements to IOUs, there are hundreds – perhaps thousands – of scripts, some ‘classic’, others eccentric. Whether elegant, quirky, fluid, brutish or ostentatious, these typefaces are stylized to suggest, imply or symbolize certain traits linked to handwriting.

The 'Golden Age' of scripts ran from the 19th to the mid-20th century; this book presents an unparalleled compilation of popular, rare and forgotten scripts from that era, from many countries.
