Beautifully executed illustrations and in-depth commentry are presented in this excellent introduction to the Chinese language and its millieu

Written Chinese can call upon about 40,000 characters, many of which originated some 6,000 years ago as little pictures of everyday objects used by the ancients to communicate with one another. To convey more abstract ideas or concepts, the Chinese stylised and combined their pictographs. For instance, the character for "man" - a straight back above two strong legs - becomes, with the addition of a head and shoulders and arms held sternly akimbo, the character for "official".

This book, modelled after a classic compilation of the Chinese language done in the 18th century, introduces readers to the 214 root pictographs or symbols upon which this writing system, whose rich complexities hold a wealth of cultural meaning, is based. These key characters, called radicals, are all delightfully presented in this volume, with their graphic development traced stage-by-stage to the present representation, where even now (in many of them) one can easily make out what was originally pictured-with the author's guidance.

Centuries ago, when the Japanese took up writing, they also adopted these symbols, though they gave them different names in their own spoken language. Each of the 214 classic radicals is charmingly explored by the author, both for its etymology and for what it reveals about Chinese history and culture. Chinese characters are marvels of graphic design, and this book even shows the proper way to write each radical, stroke by stroke. Finally, there are also samples of each radical combined with other radicals and character elements to demonstrate how new characters are formed-some 8,000 have been added to the language since the 18th century. With all its expertly executed calligraphic illustrations and fascinating commentary, this book serves as an excellent introduction to Chinese writing and its milieu.

About the Author:

Edoardo Fazzioli, who has studied Chinese language and culture at Hong Kong University and is a member of the Italo-Chinese Institute for Economic and Cultural Exchange, has written newspaper articles and scholarly pieces on Chinese life and civilization.

This volume features around 120 haute couture designs by Christian Dior from the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the House of Dior — including archival runway prototype and custom garments — showcased alongside fashion photography, film stills, vintage perfume, cosmetics and original sketches, Dior’s furniture and other decorative pieces that demonstrate the designer’s passion for collecting and his time as an art dealer. The items reproduced here thus offer an overview of Dior’s life and character, as well as his haute couture creations since 1947, always the epitome of modern elegance, with the selection taking as its unifying thread the fabric of dreams and the passing on of an aesthetic vision. Christian Dior was born in Granville, a seaside town on the coast of Normandy, France, in 1904. While his family had hoped that he would become a diplomat, Dior preferred art. His preternatural talent resulted in him being hired by Robert Piquet in 1937, and he subsequently worked alongside Pierre Balmain and Lucien Lelong. Dior was an instant sensation after the Second World War. His designs, which asserted femininity, were a strong rebuke to the utilitarian, unisex clothing of wartime Europe, and came to symbolize the “New Look.” Since his untimely death in 1957, an exceptional series of creative directors have imprinted their own style upon the iconic brand.

_____________

Christian Dior was born in Granville, a seaside town on the coast of Normandy, France: while his family had hoped that he would become a diplomat, Dior preferred art. His preternatural talent resulted in him being hired by Robert Piquet in 1937, and subsequently worked alongside Pierre Balmain and Lucien Lelong.

Dior was an instant sensation after the Second World War. His designs, which asserted femininity, were a strong rebuke to the utilitarian, unisex clothing of wartime and came to symbolise the ‘New Look’. Dior had an extremely close relationship with his sister, Catherine ― honouring her work during the war in the French Resistance with the popular perfume Miss Dior. She was his muse. The book features around 60 haute couture designs from the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs along with an equivalent number of iconic pieces belonging to Dior Héritage (the house’s own archives of original runway prototypes or garments ordered by clients), supplemented by fragrances and accessories. The items on display thus offer a panorama of Christian Dior’s haute couture creations since 1947, always the epitome of modern elegance, with the selection taking as its unifying thread the fabric of dreams and the passing on of an aesthetic vision.

A magnificent showcase of one of France’s greatest couture houses, published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, and a core part of the blockbuster retrospective at the V&A.

2017 marks the 70th anniversary of the House of Dior. It was in 1947 that Christian Dior presented his first collection and heralded the birth of a new fashion silhouette for women. After the austerity of the war years, the cinched waistlines, full skirts and soft shoulders of the New Look came to embody a revival of Parisian luxury. Paris regained its place as the global capital of fashion and the name of Dior became a synonym for haute couture.

For this book, seventy of the most memorable looks created Christian Dior and his successors – Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri – have been specially selected and photographed in fascinating detail. These wonderful designs are also featured in sketches, runway shots and fashion shoots by the world’s greatest fashion photographers, including Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, William Klein, Helmut Newton, Patrick Demarchelier, Paolo Roversi, Peter Lindbergh, Mario Testino and Nick Knight.

Recurring themes from the history of Dior are discussed in depth: the concept of line and architecture in fashion; the influence of history and art (the Palace of Versailles, the Empire style, Impressionism, the Belle Époque, the Ballets Russes, Picasso, Dalí, Pollock); the use of colour; the influence of gardens and landscapes as sources of inspiration; and, of course, the brand’s muses and famous clients: the Duchess of Windsor, Marlene Dietrich, Princess Grace of Monaco, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Isabelle Adjani, Princess Diana, Marion Cotillard, Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence and more.

Written by Christian Louboutin, Photographed by Philippe Garcia and David Lynch, Contribution by Eric Reinhardt, Foreword by John Malkovich
ID: 8703
Издательство: Rizzoli

An extraordinary monograph created by Christian Louboutin, renowned for his beautifully crafted handmade shoes, in particular his elegantly sexy stilettos. This stunning volume, with a fanciful and intricate pop-up, an elaborate foldout cover, and dramatic still-life photography, evokes the artistry and theatricality of Louboutin's shoe designs.

Celebrated for his vertiginously high stilettos with their signature lacquer-red soles, Louboutin has achieved cult status with celebrities as well as fashionistas. His eclectic and exotic designs, often incorporating feathers, beads, and sequins, are a constant and dramatic presence on the red carpet and in nightclubs and restaurants the world over.

Louboutin's first book, this monograph highlights the extraordinary range of his couture, from his iconic and glamorous creations to his fetishistic pieces, including his collaborations with David Lynch, meant more for the bedroom than the street. New photography captures Louboutin's artistic sensibilities, while an in-depth interview reveals Louboutin's life, travels, and inspirations, presenting a very personal look at the man behind the shoes. 

A work of art in itself, with a five-piece foldout binding and a pop-up, Christian Louboutin is an enticing and revelatory look at the most important luxury shoe designer of our day.

The book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter covers Louboutin's biography, his start as a designer from his work for Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent to his first boutique in 1992, and his early creations and influences illustrated with many never-seen-before photos from his personal archives; chapter two features the Louboutin boutiques around the world showcasing the varied and extravagant interior designs and displays; chapter three is "20 years of design" and highlights his shoe designs from over the years with all-new still-life photography, as well as editorial art; chapter four features the spectacular interiors of Louboutin's homes in Paris and Luxor, Egypt, and behind-the-scenes shots from his studios and workshops; chapter five focuses on his creative collaborations with David Lynch, of a series called "Fetish," of limited-edition shoes by Louboutin and limited-edition photos by Lynch; chapter six is a complete catalogue raisonne of his work, with photos of all 120 shoe designs.

Экстраординарная монография, созданная Кристианом Лабутеном, известного своей обувью ручной работы, в особенности его изящными сексуальными шпильками. Это ошеломляющее издание, с причудливым и запутанным всплывающим окном и множеством фотографий, в полной мере отображают мастерство и мелодраматичность дизайна обуви Лабутена.

Сейчас модницы всего мира обожают марку Кристиана Лабутена с его фирменным отличительным знаком - ярко-красной подошвой, которая наряду с особо плавными и гармоничными линиями силуэтов сразу позволяет отличить обувь этой марки от множества других. Кристиан Лабутен считается законодателем обувной моды на подиуме и в светской среде. Обувь Кристиана Лабутена удлиняет и делает женские ноги более стройными, улучшает ее походку, а значит, делает женщину более привлекательной. Эта обувь великолепно подходит как к вечернему платью, так и к повседневным джинсам и любой другой одежде. Лучшее, что только может быть на женской ножке - это обувь Кристиан Лабутен.

Обувь из коллекций Кристиана Лабутена носит множество мировых знаменитостей Диана вон Фюрстенберг, Катрин Денев, Элизабет Тейлор, Шер и большинство звезд Голливуда - Анджелина Джоли, Катрин Денев, Бритни Спирс, Кристина Агилера, Мадонна, Кайли Миноуг, Мэрайя Кэри. Многие из его постоянных клиенток считают туфли Кристиан Лабутен самыми красивыми в мире.

Его эклектичные и экзотические модели, часто включающие перья, бусинки, и блестки, являются завсегдатаями светских вечеринок, ночных клубов и ресторанов во всем мире.

В этой книге представлен экстраординарный диапазон творчества Кристиана Лабутена от пошива одежды высокого класса, от его культовых и очаровательных созданий до его фетишистских творений, включая его работы сделанные в сотрудничестве с Дэвидом Линчем, предназначенным больше для спальни, чем для улицы.

В альбом вошли рассказы дизайнера о вдохновляющих его вещах, фотографии из личного архива и ставшие уже культовыми модели туфель, а также интервью с самим Лабутеном

Абсолютно самостоятельное произведение искусства, эта книга – соблазн и разоблачительный взгляд на самого важного роскошного дизайнера обуви нашего времени.

Книга разделена на шесть глав.
Первая глава касается биографии Лабутена, истории становления его как дизайнера. Начиная с 16 лет, когда Кристиана Лабутена впервые заметил Шарль Журден, он много и плодотворно работал, как и положено всякому гению. Он не только обучался у Журдена, но и трудился у самого Yves Saint Laurent и Chanel. Мало кому известно, что именно в то время Лабутен создал новый тип туфель-лодочек, имеющий яйцеобразную форму и подчеркивающий изящество внутреннего изгиба женской ступни. Свой первый магазин Кристиан Лабутен открыл в Париже, в Passage Vero-Dodat, в возрасте 25 лет. Первой коллекцией, выставленной в нем и принесшей ему феноменальный успех, стала Lucite, которую отличали высокие прозрачные каблуки, внутри которых находились цветы и даже разные мелкие предметы. Для Ариэль Домбаль, звезды французского кино, были сделаны на заказ туфли, в каблук которых были вложены любовные письма. Вообще романтика является ведущим мотивом всех коллекций и моделей Лабутена.

Вторая глава посвящена особенностям магазинов Лабутена во всем мире, их различным и экстравагантным дизайнам интерьера и показам. 

Третья глава - "20 лет дизайна" знакомит нас с его моделями обуви за двадцатилетний период его творчества.

Четвертая глава посвящена особенностям захватывающих интерьеров домов Лабутена в Париже и Луксоре.

Пятая глава рассказывает о его творческом сотрудничестве с Дэвидом Линчем, американским королем артхауса. В центре внимания малосерийная коллекция под названием "Фетиш" - Дэвид Линч запечатлел туфли, созданные специально для проекта Кристианом Лабутеном. С помощью размытого фокуса, теней и нечеткости, режиссер показывает вселенную фетишистов в своей уникальной манере – то есть пытается передать не только абсурд лабутеновских творений, но и фирменное, "линчевское", ощущение тревоги и опасности.

Глава шесть является полным систематизированным каталогом его работы с фотографиями всех 120 моделей обуви.

Об авторе. Филипп Гарсия - фотограф, чьи работы регулярно публикуются в таких журналах как Мари Клэр, Мейсон. Эрик Рейнхардт - писатель и редактор, живет в Париже. Его недавний роман, Золушка имел большой коммерческий успех. В настоящее время он является редактором множества престижных французских изданий.

For centuries, the stories of the world’s great jewellery collections have lain hidden within the archives of Christie’s, the celebrated auctioneers. From the tragic European queens, Mary, Queen of Scots and Marie Antoinette – both beheaded – to Hollywood royalty such as Elizabeth Taylor, the vaults sparkle with the most celebrated (and occasionally notorious) names of the last 250 years. Following on from the success of his books on Boucheron: The Secret Archives, Van Cleef & Arpels: Treasures and Legends and Mellerio: Jewellers to the Queens of Europe, author Vincent Meylan explores these remarkable jewellery archives, revealing the mysteries within for the first time.

Each sale had its intrigue, each its story to tell. The first auction of jewellery from the British royal family took place at Christie’s in 1773, after the death of the Princess of Wales, mother of George III. As the archives reveal, in the subsequent centuries, Christie’s has been party to the sale of jewellery by several further generations of British royals, from Lady Patricia Ramsay and the Countess of Southesk through to Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. And, in the wake of revolution and regicide further afield, the crown jewels of France, Russia, Bavaria, Serbia, Egypt, India and Spain were all sold at Christie’s. Aside from Elizabeth Taylor, the legendary movie star collections of Merle Oberon and Gloria Swanson are also revealed here, as well as the most famous pearls and diamonds in the world; each explored within the context of their owners’ remarkable lives.

Expertly curating the extensive archives, Vincent Meylan has drawn out the key details of each momentous sale. Original documents from the vaults are reproduced in the book, alongside hundreds of colour illustrations of the jewels and their owners.

About the Author:

Vincent Meylan is a specialist in precious stones and high jewellery, and the author of several biographies and works on the history of precious stones, including Queens' Jewels (Assouline, 2005), Boucheron: The Secret Archives ISBN 9781851496679 (ACC, 2011), and of Van Cleef & Arpels: Treasures and Legends ISBN 9781851497706 (ACC, 2014).

The new colour bible: a gorgeously illustrated exploration of colour and the modern gaze, from an award-winning designer

'One of the best books on colour I've read. A layered tapestry of stories, insights and ideas, each beautifully and clearly written. For anyone interested in colour, it's a must' Marion Deuchars

Why are pencils yellow and white goods white? Why is black the colour of mourning? What connects Queen Victoria's mauve gown and Michelle Obama's yellow dress?

In Chromorama, acclaimed graphic designer Riccardo Falcinelli delves deep into the history of colour to show how it has shaped the modern gaze. With over four hundred illustrations throughout and with examples ranging widely across art and culture - from the novels of Gustave Flaubert to The Simpsons, from Byzantine jewellery to misshapen fruit, from Mondrian to Hitchcock's thrillers - Falcinelli traces the evolution of our long relationship with colour, and how first the industrial revolution, and then the dawn of the internet age, changed it forever.

Beautifully designed, deeply researched, and written with warmth and wit, Chromorama is an engrossing account of shade and light, of tone and hue, of dyes, pigments, and pixels. It is the story of why we now see the world the way we do.

About the Author:

Riccardo Falcinelli is an award-winning graphic designer and best-selling author whose work has been highly acclaimed in Italy and around the world. He teaches at the ISIA Faculty of Design in Rome.

Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time - and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance. These studios, a return to classical art training, are based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. Classical Drawing Atelier is an atelier in a book - and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, Aristides uses the works of Old Masters and today’s most respected realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realist drawing and painting, taking students to step by step through the learning curve yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, Classical Drawing Atelier is a serious art course for serious art students.
