A gorgeously illustrated exploration of the history, culture, and design process of the famed fashion house Chanel

Chanel: The Making of a Collection traces the design process of the world-renowned fashion house, revealing how a collection is created. Moving from the studio to the fashion show, fashion writer Laetitia Cénac has unprecedented access to explore a world that is usually carefully guarded from the public eye.

With hundreds of beautifully rendered fashion illustrations from acclaimed artist Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Karl Lagerfeld’s approach to design is brought to life, as are the talents of the masterfully skilled artisans — the embroiderers, flower makers, shoemakers, hat makers, and more — who specialize in everything from buttons and leather to lace, silk, and cashmere.

Delving into the history and culture of the brand, while also detailing contemporary collections, Chanel: The Making of a Collection is a richly visual insider’s look at the enduring creative legacy of this haute couture icon.

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.

Chronology

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.

В этой книге заключены 70, самых запоминающихся образов, созданных Кристианом Диором и его приемниками, среди которых: ив Сен-Лоран, Марк Бохан, Джон Гальяно, Джанфранко Ферре и др. Точные фотографии этих произведений были тщательно отобраны, чтобы читатель смог рассмотреть мельчайшие детали.

В 2017 году исполняется 70 лет Дому Dior, а в 1947 году Кристиан Диор представил свою первую коллекцию и объявил о рождении нового модного образа для женщин. После сурового военного времени, тонкие линии талии, пышные юбки и мягкие линии плеч New Look – стали воплощением возрождения парижской роскоши. Париж восстановил свое звание модной столицы мира и имя Диор стало синонимом высокой моды.

Книга «Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams» включает в себя обсуждения таких тем из истории бренда, как:

- концепция линий и архитектуры в моде;
- влияние истории и искусства (Версальский дворец, Ампир, Импрессионизм, «Великолепный век», «Русские сезоны», Пикассо, Дали, Поллок);
- игры цвета;
- влияние красоты садовых ландшафтов, как источника вдохновения;
- и самое главное, влияние тех, для кого создавалась мода – прекрасных женщин.

Музами и знаменитыми клиентами Dior были герцогиня Виндзорская, Марлен Дитрих, принцесса Монако - Грейс, Мэрилин Монро, Элизабет Тейлор, Изабель Аджани, принцесса Диана, Марион Котийяр, Шарлиз Терон, Натали Портман, Дженнифер Лоуренс и другие.

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.

An indispensable survey of the most important archival collections assembled by fashion’s key players.

In order for fashion to march forward, it must possess the ability to look back. For the fashion obsessed, one’s archive is surely a testament to the act of preservation and, of course, a sophisticated symbol of taste. Archives take time to build, wardrobes or storage units packed to the brim with rare, archival shoes, dresses, and handbags, some never worn, are only perfected after countless hours spent on Ebay and in the depths of obscured vintage sales. The results end up being remarkable representations of fashion history. 

This book gathers the preeminent collections of archival obsessives, capturing the closets of an impressive list of fashion and design talent. Readers will get an in-depth look at Michèle Lamy’s extensive Comme des Garçon archive, Sarah Andelman’s covetable (and colorful) sneaker and t-shirt collection, ENDYMA's growing Helmut Lang archive, Zaha Hadid’s fabulous footwear assemblage, and more. This tome, over 300 pages long, painstakingly showcases the subject’s archive while showing off top-tier labels and hard-to-obtain seasons: Issey Miyake, Maison Martin Margiela, Thierry Mugler, John Galliano, and Alexander McQueen, among others, and serves as an indispensable reference for those interested in fashion history and building their own archive.

Essays throughout by leading thinkers and writers provide insightful commentary alongside each collection featured in this new, enlightening fashion bible.

Gabrielle Chanel was a friend of the greatest poets, writers, musicians, and artists of her time, as well as an avid reader who found inspiration in literature and poetry. Throughout the famous couturière’s life, the works of Plato, Saint Augustine, Shakespeare, Alexandre Pouchkine, Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Thomas Mann, Pierre Reverdy, Max Jacob, Jean Cocteau, and more played a significant role in nurturing her imagination. In Culture Chanel: The Woman Who Reads, author and curator Jean-Louis Froment highlights connections between texts, photographs, paintings, drawings, jewelry, perfume, and clothing designs, revealing an aesthetic language ― which can be seen throughout Chanel’s many enduring contributions to the fashion world ― in the light of the written words that shaped her life.
 

The first book to explore the synergy between dance and fashion, featuring a wide range of dance-fashion collaborations and inspirations

Dress and adornment have long played an important role in the visual allure of dance, and fashion designers have often been inspired by the way dancers look. The tutus and pointe shoes of the Romantic ballerina, for example, have influenced designers from Christian Dior to Christian Louboutin. Cristóbal Balenciaga was inspired by the drama of flamenco, Yves Saint Laurent by the Orientalism of the Ballet Russes, and Rick Owens by the dynamism of African-American steppers. Fashion designers are also increasingly collaborating with choreographers to create stylish new dance costumes — from the “bump” dresses by Comme des Garçons for Merce Cunningham to Valentino’s “Bal de Couture” designs for New York City Ballet.

Lavishly illustrated with both contemporary and historical images, the book features essays by ten fashion experts, who explore various aspects of the reciprocal relationship between dance and fashion, from the liberating effects of the tango to the influence of ballet on Japanese girl culture. Designers featured include Leon Bakst, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, Christian Dior, John Galliano, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Halston, Barbara Karinka, Isaac Mizrahi, Rodarte, Yves Saint Laurent, Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, Valentino, and Iris Van Herpen.   

This beautiful book explores for the first time the synergy between dance and fashion and is an original and inspired contribution to the study of both art forms.

Suits that pop with loud colors and dazzling patterns, complete with a nearly ubiquitous bowtie, define the style of the new “dandy.” Described as “high-styled rebels” by author Shantrelle P. Lewis, black men with a penchant for color and refined fashion, both new and vintage, have gained popular attention in recent years, influencing mainstream fashion. But black dandyism itself is not new; originating in Enlightenment England’s slave culture, it has continued for generations in black cultures around the world. Now, set against the backdrop of hip-hop culture, this iteration of dandies is redefining what it means to be black, masculine, and fashionable. Dandy Lion presents and celebrates individual dandy personalities, designers and tailors, movements and events that define contemporary dandyism. Throughout the book, self expression is communicated through personal style, clothing, shoes, hats, and swagger. Lewis’s carefully curated selection of contemporary photographs surveys the movement across the globe in spectacular form, with all of the vibrant patterns, electrifying colors, and fanciful poses of this brilliant style subculture.

Shantrelle P. Lewis (author) is a U.S.-based curator and researcher specializing in diasporic aesthetics, and the survival and evolution of African retentions. She was a 2014 United Nations Program for People of African Descent Fellow and a 2012–13 Andy Warhol Curatorial Fellow. Lewis has curated exhibitions for several institutions including the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts; Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art; Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture; and the African American Museum in Philadelphia. Her traveling curatorial initiative, The Dandy Lion Project, examines global black dandyism through photography and film.

Celebrating 250 years of male self-expression, investigating the portraiture and wardrobe of the fashionable British man

The style of the dandy is elegant but bold ― dedicated to the perfection of taste. This meticulously choreographed look has a vibrant history; the legacy of Beau Brummell, the original dandy of Regency England, can be traced in the clothing of urban dandies today. Dandy Style celebrates 250 years of male self-expression, investigating the portraiture and wardrobe of the fashionable British man. Combining fashion, art, and photography, the historic and the contemporary, the provocative and the respectable, it considers key themes in the development of male style and identity, including elegance, uniformity, and spectacle. Various types of dandy are represented by iconic figures such as Oscar Wilde, Edward VIII as Prince of Wales, and Gilbert & George. They appear alongside the seminal designs of Vivienne Westwood, Ozwald Boateng, and Alexander McQueen; and portraits by Thomas Gainsborough and David Hockney.

Celebrating 30 years of Dazed’s boundary-pushing storytelling at the forefront of youth culture, this book reveals the past, present, and future of Dazed through its bold cover designs and manifesto-like headlines.

In 1991, the first issue of Dazed & Confused was released as a single A2 foldout newsprint by a then 20-year-old Jefferson Hack and the photographer Rankin. Now, 30 years later, what began as a print magazine has gone on to provoke a change in consciousness, becoming a vital cultural manifesto for today. Created for an audience that wants to be both informed and inspired to imagine, its radical approach to publishing means that Dazed is still at the forefront of youth culture today.

Split into ten chapters — taken from the magazine’s most memorable cover lines — this book explores how these early manifestos reflect the magazine’s ethos today. Time-travelling from the ’90s to now, a new generation of image-makers sit side by side with archival materials to showcase how Dazed has always interpreted celebrity through its own boundary-pushing lens: from Alexander McQueen and David Bowie’s first official, recorded conversation and the designer’s “Fashion-Able?” cover, to a rare appearance and guest-edit by Chelsea Manning, to rapper Young Thug shot by Harley Weir.

About the Author:

The world and creativity of Elio Fiorucci seen from the inside and recounted by those who took part in his fashion adventure.

The fashion and stores created by Elio Fiorucci in the late 1960s were a great creative hotbed for the following decades, anticipating many of the trends that emerged later and the ideas of the next generation of designers.

Elio Fiorucci's innate curiosity led him to explore the unknown, to broaden his vision towards new currents of freedom of expression, beyond the borders of his country, in search of other energies.

This book recalls his new, joyful, mocking, free realm, and the conception of unconventional clothing that upset the rules of the bourgeois, conformist world of the 1960s.

It is a choral fresco, told through the letters of those who worked with him, including absolute beginners, professionals who knew him and shared his passions, family, and friends: architects such as Antonio Citterio and Michele De Lucchi, photographers, artists (Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, who decorated the entire Milan store in 1983), singers, and actors who attended his stores and parties. Direct testimonials come from the likes of Biba (Barbara Hulanicki), Oliviero Toscani, Donna Jordan, Terry Jones, Italo Lupi, Alessandro Mendini, Paul Caranicas and Joey Arias. The book also features a preface by Janie and Stephen Schaeffer, the current brand owners.

About the Author:

Franco Marabelli is a designer whose professional relationship with Elio Fiorucci began in the 1970s, when he redesigned the San Babila store in Milan.
