Published to celebrate 175 years as one of the finest tailors on Savile Row, Huntsman reveals its rich history of making impeccable clothing for the most discerning clientele in the world

Huntsman was founded in 1849 and is still famous today as one of the finest—and most innovative—bespoke tailors in London. Huntsman’s clients range from royalty to film stars, and include Queen Victoria, Clark Gable, Grace Kelly, Coco Chanel, Hubert de Givenchy, Bill Blass, Lucien Freud, Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Taylor, and Edward Enninful, to name just a few. The brand also served as style and location inspiration for the Kingsman films, starring Colin Firth and Taron Egerton. As well as its history, the book reveals each stage of ordering and making the perfect bespoke suit, which involves 80 hours of hand work, and a practical style guide for anyone who wants to know what to wear for the right occasion. Sumptuous photography by Simon Upton illustrates the quintessential town, country and holiday settings in which one might wear Huntsman.

A gripping, post-apocalyptic sci-fi graphic novel from acclaimed universe-builder Ben Mauro, perfect for fans of Dune and Star Wars

Built on the ashes of a nuclear holocaust, a once thriving world ruined by generations of planetary wars now lays in perpetual waste. To save humanity from itself, the remaining A.I. bred and cloned elite humans as workers, soldiers and enforcers – armoured warriors known as Ronin – to help keep order and give humanity a purpose in this new world. After a certain age, the clones start to think for themselves and are sent on increasingly dangerous missions until they are killed or ‘retired’, replaced by younger and more compliant clones until the cycle repeats itself again.

While humanity limps on in this new world, the lives of two soldiers, Max and Kai, become irreversibly intertwined on a routine mission upon discovering an ancient sentient robot known as Huxley in the wastelands of a desolate planet. These two post-apocalyptic scavengers suddenly find themselves thrust into a mystery of a galactic scale and as the saga unfolds, the reader begins to unravel Huxley's true purpose. Ben Mauro’s stunning debut adventure sets the stage for an exciting new sci-fi universe for readers and fans of the genre to enjoy and fall in love with.

A mind-bending archive of Collina Strada, the downtown New York brand that puts self-expression and honest sustainability first.

Launched in 2008 by Hillary Taymour, Collina Strada has spent the last decade successfully injecting the generally colorless style of downtown New York with acid-colored dye jobs, off-kilter dresses, sparkling hair pins, and fearlessly fluid ensembles. Rooted in interconnectedness, self-expression, and thoughtful production, the brand screams nonconformity: cosmically dyed dresses, rhinestone-studded water bottles, and wildly graphic bodysuits serve as representations of the cacophony of sounds, symbols, and spirit that imbue the Collina Strada world.

All of the brand’s pieces are produced in the USA using mostly reinterpreted deadstock materials: recycled t-shirts from Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana, and Rose Sylk, an organic cellulose fiber derived from rose bushes and their stems. Taymour has also shown an unwavering commitment to using the brand as a platform for social and environmental change, offering guests at her shows instructions on how to advocate for a rooftop garden in their building and ways to volunteer with vetted organizations.

Gathered within is a collection of iconic brand imagery, runway images, core pieces, and creative collaborations with artists like Dave Mattingly, the artist behind the iconic ’90s book series Animorphs. A visual feast overseen by Collina Strada art director Charlie Engman, this volume is an exciting style compendium that offers endless inspiration on being confident, conscious, and radically individual.

About the Authors:

Hillary Taymour is the LA turned New York–based fashion designer and founder of Collina Strada.

The amazing life story of legendary New York stylist and personal shopper Betty Halbreich, the inspiration for a forthcoming HBO television series in development by Lena Dunham.

Betty Halbreich is a true original. Now in her eighties, she has spent nearly forty years at the luxury store Bergdorf Goodman, working with socialites, stars and ordinary women. She has led many to appreciate their real selves through clothes, frank advice and her unique brand of wisdom; she is trusted by the most discriminating persons - including Hollywood's top stylists - to tell them what looks best. But her own transformation from cosseted girl to fearless truth-teller is the greatest makeover of all.

Born into a successful Chicago family, at the age of twenty, Betty married dashing Sonny Halbreich and came to Manhattan, where the couple threw themselves into a whirlwind of long hours, cocktails and Park Avenue parties, living the high life in 1950s New York. However, the marriage began to fray and after two decades came undone completely. Bereft, Betty attempted suicide. As she embarked on the frightening process of reclaiming herself, she was offered a lifeline: a job at Bergdorf Goodman. For Betty, with her innate sense of style and craftsmanship, it was a perfect fit.

Hardworking, elegant, and gifted with sparkling wit and razor-sharp powers of observation, in her amazing life story as in her style guidance Betty Halbreich is never afraid to tell it straight.

About the Author:

The legendary personal shopper, who has been impeccably dressing her clients for forty years and herself for eighty-six, has featured in the New Yorker and in the documentary film Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's, and regularly dispenses her unique brand of wit and style in a range of outlets, including the Wall Street Journal.

i-D began as a fanzine dedicated to the street style of punk-era London in 1980 and quickly earned its position at the vanguard of fashion and style, abiding by the premise of “originate — don’t imitate.” This anniversary volume is the ultimate tribute to the irreverent and forward-thinking magazine that revolutionized not only the world of fashion publishing but fashion itself. 

Over the 40 years since its launch, i-D has grown from a hand-stapled zine to one of the world’s leading international style titles with two million Instagram followers. Founded by Terry Jones in 1980, i-D began as a chronicle of style and attitude as much as a fashion bible, and over the years it has kept to that ethos, in the process becoming a nurturing ground for generations of fashion talents, from David Sims to Juergen Teller, Edward Enninful to Wolfgang Tillmans, Tyler Mitchell to Harley Weir.

This celebratory volume commemorates the 40th anniversary of i-D through the prism of different cultural eras, with each chapter focusing on a decade of the magazine’s history and featuring a mix of original rephotographed spreads from the magazine, reprinted text pieces, archival imagery, covers, and new essays exploring both the history of i-D and the wider cultural contexts of the era it was created in. It’s a magazine that has given Greta Thunberg, Madonna, Naomi Campbell, and Sonic the Hedgehog their first covers; that invented the emoticon; and that, across 40 years and 500 cover winks, has had one defining message: that fashion should be inclusive, fun, diverse, and — always — original.

About the Author:

Since punk-era London in 1980, i-D has launched the careers of some of the most innovative and influential talent in the world. By constantly reinventing itself, i-D has built its reputation on being a consistent source of inspiration in fashion culture. i-D prides itself on being the voice of a generation, the voice of the disenfranchised and the under-represented, the platform for those who have something to say.

“Women are into fashion, men are into style, style is forever.” Domenico Dolce

Womenswear progresses in leaps and bounds, fuelled by the readiness of women to wear what may at the time be perceived as the radical or outrageous. Not so menswear –menswear evolves, slowly. But from what? Behind nearly every item in the modern male wardrobe is a ‘first of its kind’ – the definitive item, often designed by a single company or brand for specialist use, on which all subsequent versions have been based (and originals of which are now collector items in the booming vintage market).

The T-shirt, for example, may now be an innocuous, everyday item, but was created by American company Hanes for US Navy personnel at the turn of the 20th century and was subsequently adopted by sportsmen and bikers. Other items have been designed for sport, farm work, protection and made their way into everyday usage.

Icons of Men's Style examines, garment by garment, the most important and famous of these products – their provenance and history, the stories of their design, the brand/company that started it all and how the item shaped the way men dress today.

It's all about light, texture, color, shape and balance!

Filled with inspiring images of unconventional flower arrangements, this new book by Japanese Ikebana master Yuji Ueno shows you how to use light and position as well as color, shape and texture -- of both flowers and vessel -- to make inexpensive floral arrangements that convey a Zen sense of simplicity, calm and balance.

Ueno's arrangements are informal, but authentic and true to the original wabi-sabi spirit of Ikebana practiced by Zen Buddhist masters of the art. In this book you'll receive:

- Tips on how to select flowers and foliage, choose a vessel to harmonize with the available light in and design of your spaces, and more
- Inspiration to utilize the beauty of a flower's many stages, the imperfections of leaves and branches, and the design potential in old and unusual vases
- A sense of connectedness to the seasons of the year and how to translate that into seasonal arrangements using found and foraged foliage
- An appreciation for simple and imperfect components and a slow, mindful approach to arranging your flowers

Ueno's unique approach makes it clear that you don't need special training, expensive equipment or store-bought flowers to create beautiful arrangements. All you need is an open mind, a sense of awareness -- and a good set of clippers -- to create Ikebana that are truly unique, expressive and uplifting.

The Zen art of flower arranging is now accessible to everyone!

About the Author:

Yuji Ueno is an independent floral artist who has developed his own unique philosophy and artistic sensibility -- by turns outrageously passionate and exceptionally tranquil. Yuji has created a distinctive style that is not linked with any particular Ikebana school, allowing him the freedom to chart his own course. He regularly wins national Ikebana challenge competitions in Japan, teaches widely and exhibits throughout the world. He is the author of Japanese Ikebana for Every Season.
