Never look at makeup in the same way again. This is a revolutionary creative masterclass formulated to match YOU from top Makeup Artist Dominic Skinner.

Having watched Dom’s shrewd eye on BBC Three’s Glow Up, you’d be forgiven for thinking his first book is all about precision and perfection. After decades in the beauty industry, Dom has mastered the art of makeup so that you don’t have to. In this book, Dom introduces his philosophy: break the rules, go wild, and stick a finger up at convention.

So forget the tired, one-size-fits-all idea, and open your mind to creative techniques that work for you, with these three inspired steps:

- Change It Up: Makeup is a means of self-expression. Dom begins with 20 challenges to have fun with. Cover yourself in glitter, try a monochrome approach, be inspired by your favourite sweet wrapper – these challenges will make you think about make-up in a whole new way.
- Create Your Look: Once you’ve had a go with these, you’ll learn why some looks worked, and others didn’t, by learning all about balance, symmetry, colour theory and more. This will help you create a finessed look for a party, a festival or even just for a day at home. 
- Sharpen Your Skills: Develop your looks and finesse your techniques, with Dom’s expert tips on how to get the little details just right.

Dominic Skinner’s Glowography is a brand-new makeup philosophy where everyone is welcome – no matter your age, race, gender or ability. Whether you want to break existing beauty habits or you’ve never worn makeup before, this is the book that will give you all the expertise and confidence you’ll ever need.

With stops in cities around the globe, and packed with interviews and commentaries on the dramas, joys, and love that "make-up" a life in wigs and heels, Drag features contributions from today's most groundbreaking and popular artists, including Bianca del Rio, Miss Coco Peru, Hedda Lettuce, Lypsinka, and Varla Jean Merman, as well as notable performers as Harvey Fierstein and Charles Busch.

Fabric For Fashion: The Complete Guide is the only book specifically for fashion designers to explain the behaviour and properties of different fabrics. Fashion design is largely determined by how the fabrics work, move, feel and look. The most successful fashion designers are those who understand their materials, and who match design skills with technical knowledge.

This book bridges that gap by providing a mix of practical information and industry vocabulary, visually examining generic fabric types, discussing the characteristics of fabrics and showing how to exploit materials to push the boundaries of design.

With stunning colour photographs that show how fashion designers, both past and present, have worked with fabrics, the book’s prime objective is to stimulate creative exploration of the relationship of fabrics to fashion.

This easily navigable resource provides 125 swatches of the most recognized and widely used varieties of fabric to encourage consideration of not just their aesthetic appeal but also their structure, feel and weight. Natural fabrics such as cottons, silks, wools and linens are included, as are artificial and synthetic fabrics like nylons, polyesters, microfibres, metallics and soya fabrics, and fabrics made from alternative plant fibres like bamboo and hemp.

With information on fibres, basic construction of fabrics, weights, construction, and weave comparison, the book will help student fashion designers to make informed textile choices based upon an understanding of raw materials together with the processes that make up a fabric. The book will be useful for anyone who works with fabrics and is the ideal companion to Fabric for Fashion: The Complete Guide.

With a revised and updated selection of photographs from fashion shows that exemplify current fashion trends in which the collections of such renowned designers as Givenchy, Stella McCartney, Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood, van Herpen, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein appeared, the book shows you how some of the most emblematic names in fashion today use fabrics to achieve the highest expression of their creativity. This updated and enlarged edition also includes a detailed technical and historical introduction on the types of fabrics and their classification, the relationship between fabric and the fashion industry and the aesthetic, emotional, commercial and social aspects involved.

Experimental fashion has a dark side, a preoccupation with representations of death, trauma, alienation and decay. This seminal publication offers an unexpected discussion of cutting-edge fashion in the 1990s, exploring what its disturbing themes tell us about consumer culture and contemporary anxieties. Caroline Evans analyses the work of innovative designers, the images of fashion photographers and the spectacular fashion shows that developed in the final decade of the twentieth century to arrive at a new understanding of fashion’s dark side and what it signifies.

Fashion at the Edge considers a range of ground-breaking fashion in unprecedented depth and detail, including the work of such designers as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Viktor & Rolf, and photographers such as Steven Meisel, Nick Knight and Juergen Teller.

Drawing on diverse perspectives from Marx to Walter Benjamin, Evans shows that fashion stands at the very centre of the contemporary, and that it voices some of Western culture’s deepest concerns.

From the Introduction of Fashion Design: 

Fashion design is often a misunderstood discipline. The public perception of this field commonly focuses on extolling the instinctive creative abilities of genius designers, and intentionally minimizes the discussion of the diligent process that takes place behind the scenes. This book was developed specifically to guide the reader through this exciting, yet relatively obscure, subject.

Fashion designers at all levels of the industry face the challenging task of blending business and art toward the creation of relevant, commercially viable, and creatively exciting products every season. Additionally, all participants in the fashion industry, be they visual merchandisers, photographers, stylists, pattern-makers or buyers, benefit greatly from complete understanding of the creative process employed by designers. Fashion brands, after all, differentiate themselves primarily by how and why they create product, and by the artistic vision they offer, not simply by the items produced. To fully comprehend how fashion products are generated demands a thorough awareness of a multitude of sectors, which are best grouped in three main categories: context, concept, and presentation.

Denis Antoine is Professor of Fashion at Savannah College of Art and Design and co-author of Classic Tailoring Techniques for Menswear 2e, the authority on classic tailoring. He studied at London College of Fashion (BA Hons) and the Royal College of Art (MA RCA).

A fashion icon in her own right, Keaton amusingly revisits and reflects on some of her favorite and not-so-favorite fashion moments over the decades, from childhood homemade outfits to red carpet ensembles and street style experiments she tried from the 1960s until today.

Since she could remember, Keaton has been fascinated by clothing and style. As a little girl, she would pick out patterns and request that her mother make her custom outfits. This was the beginning of a love affair with clothes and looks, and sometimes, fashion. From the outset of her acting career in the 1970s, the legendary star has experimented and thought outside the lines of what a Hollywood icon should wear and still became lauded as a style icon by Vogue, W, The Hollywood Reporter, and countless fashion websites. Keaton’s style is at once timeless, experimental, bold, effortless, androgynous, quirky, and utterly and distinctly her own.

This is the celebrated film star’s ode to her unforgettable fashion moments examined through Keaton’s self-deprecating, charming voice, as she comments on her favorite looks and her biggest fashion faux pas. Images includes photos of a young Keaton sporting her mother’s homemade ensembles, stylish snapshots from the 1960s and iconic 1970s looks highlighting her signature Annie Hall style, red carpet moments, magazine editorials, street-style shots, and selfies from the 1980s until present day. Striking fashion photographs by renowned photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Ruven Afanador, and Ron Gallela are accompanied by anecdotes about Keaton’s inspiring style from her longtime friends, collaborators, and fashion designers, including Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kris Jenner, Nancy Myers, Blake Lively, and Thom Browne. Truly entertaining and stylish, this is the book fashion lovers and fans of the inimitable actor have been waiting for.

About the Authors:

Diane Keaton is an Oscar-winning actress, director, and author whose books with Rizzoli include California Romantica, House, The House That Pinterest Built, and Saved. Ralph Lauren is an American fashion designer, philanthropist, businessman, and four-time CFDA winner.

Fashion Illustration & Design reveals the technical essentials for understanding fashion figure drawingsfrom the professional point of view, as well as the materials and tools needed for each style and each drawing element.

The book covers all aspects of drawing figures for fashion, from the basic lines and the different types of figures to using color and recreating different fabrics, and it even reveals the secrets to designing and reproducing jewelry and accessories.

Like its author, the style of the illustrations contained in this book is inspiring and brimming with talent.
