Дизайн

Системні підходи до естетики та дизайну

Тенденції у світі дизайну можуть приходити та зникати, але коли функціональність слідує за формою, результати часто залишаються поза часом. Оскільки технології продовжують розвиватися, а цифрові пристрої стають все більш нерозривними, поведінкові дослідження, розуміння й аналіз сприяють творчості та майстерності, надаючи дизайнерам грашковий майданчик для експериментів з ідеями, які одночасно вирішують проблеми та розсувають межі на перетині логічного й творчого.

New Utilitarian інтригуючий погляд на дизайнерів, які бездоганно застосовують систематичний підхід до своєї роботи, щоб перекласти сміливі ідеї на вражаючі візуальні мови для епохи даних. Спираючись на розум і принцип, кожен проект є значущим вираженням сучасного мистецтва, яке залишає особливий відбиток на ландшафті дизайну сьогодні.

Celebrating the art forms of ballet and fashion, this beautiful book explores the creative collaborations between New York City Ballet and the top fashion designers of our age, including Virgil Abloh, Christopher John Rogers, Anna Sui, and Valentino, among others.

Featuring more than thirty contemporary fashion designers, New York City Ballet Choreography & Couture highlights their distinctive work for ballet. From the shorts suits of Thom Browne accommodating the movement of dancers, and the leather harness detailing of Prabal Gurung to the baroque flounces of Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen or the jewel-encrusted slip dresses of Carolina Herrera, this enchanting volume highlights how fashion design is adapted for dance to amplify movement and music.

The stunning photography by Pari Dukovic features breathtaking images of the dancers in motion, along with detail shots highlighting the couture elements of the costumes. Author Marc Happel, NYCB’s Director of Costumes, has collected the designers’ original sketches along with quotes discussing their process and inspiration for each ballet.

New York City Ballet, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, has been collaborating with prominent fashion designers since its inception. From the first Fall Fashion Gala in 2012 when renowned choreographers Peter Martins and Christopher Wheeldon collaborated with Valentino, through the present, these ballets are celebrated as collaborations between choreographers and some of the biggest names in fashion. Now New York City Ballet Choreography & Couture brings ten years of artistic vision to life.

Дивовижний архів пам'ятних речей Транспортного управління Нью-Йорка пропонує унікальний погляд на минуле міста.

Книга New York City Transit Authority: Objects виникла як фотографічний експеримент. У 2011 році нью-йоркський фотограф Браян Келлі почав документувати колекції використаних MetroCards у своїй бруклінській студії, розташовуючи їх у різні сітки з метою вдосконалення освітлення зображення. Його брат запропонував зробити сітки цікавішими, знайшовши інші типи карток. Вичерпавши пошуки викинутих MetroCards на багатьох із 472 станцій метро міста, Келлі звернувся до eBay за новими знахідками.

Онлайн-кроляча нора дала йому прискорений курс з історії транспорту Нью-Йорка. Він виявив жетони, що датуються 1860 роком, корінець квитка 1885 року, коли проїзд поїздом через Бруклінський міст коштував три центи, а також латки, сірникові коробки, жетони, розклади руху, значки та знаки, опублікувавши свої фотографії цих знахідок у Tumblr та Instagram. Шість років потому багато співробітників MTA слідкують за його проєктом та підтримують його, іноді звертаючись до нього з інформацією та порадами щодо рідкісних предметів. У міру зростання колекції Келлі усвідомив, що не існує порівнянних цифрових архівів, які б документували еволюцію транспорту міста.

______________

New York City Transit Authority: Objects містить понад 400 артефактів, пов'язаних з нью-йоркським метро, ​​зібраних та задокументованих фотографом Браяном Келлі.

Келлі почав колекціонувати квитки MTA MetroCards у 2011 році, і його швидко захопили інші об'єкти, пов'язані з метро. Цей каталог є першим у своєму роді — він представляє раніше незібраний архів одноденних документів, починаючи з 1850-х років.

The first international publication dedicated to Nika Zupanc, globally recognized as one of the world’s best product and interior designers and also a style icon.

Her style has been described as “punk elegance” by Elle and “techno chic” Businessweek, and Zupanc has been crowned as a “real star” by the Wall Street Journal.

The first book dedicated to the career and creations of esteemed fashion designer Norman Norell, the man hailed as the “Dean of American Fashion” by the New York Times.

Norman Norell (1900–1972) — the first American designer to employ couture techniques, refined workmanship, and luxurious fabrics — made dresses, coats, and suits that critics deemed “the equal of Paris,” earning him the sobriquet “the American Balenciaga” and forever changing perceptions about New York’s Seventh Avenue garment industry.

Norell showed the world that American design could climb to great heights by producing collection after collection that was both elegant and practical. He singlehandedly shaped the character of the ready-to-wear industry and served as a role model to younger generations of American designers. Early jobs included creating costumes for film and stage and outfits for the stars themselves, as well as working for fashion entrepreneur Hattie Carnegie. Norell brought to the world a lean sophistication and American glamour in his daytime suits, jersey separates, swing coats, and his shimmering sequined “mermaid” dresses. Clients included Lauren Bacall, Babe Paley, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Lena Horne, Dinah Shore, Marilyn Monroe, and Lady Bird Johnson. Norell was the first thoroughly modern American designer — and his dresses are still prized by stylish women today.

It seems familiar because it was everyone's dream of America; and it was unique because only Rockwell managed to bring it to life with such authority. This was, perhaps, an America that never existed, but it was an America the public wanted to exist. And Rockwell put it together from elements that were there for everyone to see.

Norman Rockwell helped preserve American myths, but, more than that, he recreated them and made them palatable for new generations. His function was to reassure people, to remind them of old values in times of rapid change.

About the Author:

Christopher Finch was born in Guernsey, Channel Islands, in 1939 and came to the United States in 1968 to join the curatorial staff of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. His books include the best sellers Norman Rockwell’s America, The Art of Walt Disney, and Rainbow, a biography of Judy Garland, which was turned into a motion picture for NBC television.

This book features Karl Lagerfeld’s most beautiful photographs of Haute Couture garments shot for French fashion magazine Numéro, to celebrate its fifteen years of collaboration with the famous fashion designer.

Who else but Lagerfeld could better reveal the timeless and intricate beauty of Haute Couture? With all his innate imagination and indulgence, Lagerfeld has immortalized the iconic models of our time within the covers of Numéro — Cara Delevingne, Linda Evangelista, Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik, Lara Stone, Stella Tennant, Natalia Vodianova… all these and more have participated in his game, often framed by sumptuous decors worthy of the greatest Hollywood productions. Lagerfeld’s spectacular stagings visualize our most daring fantasies of female archetypes, from fairytale princesses to contemporary muses.

Все почалося у 2009 році, коли дизайнер Лорін Вуд заснував блог Nuthin' But Mech, щоб ділитися роботами, написаними ним та його колегами на їхню улюблену тему: роботи. Через три роки Вуд запустив однойменну серію книг, надаючи три (тепер уже чотири!) можливості десяткам талановитих художників з усього світу продемонструвати свої захоплені проекти та особисті бачення роботів у друкованому вигляді.

Завершуючи безперечно популярну серію, книга Nuthin' But Mech 4 ідеально доповнює захопливі томи, що їй передували, та відзначає, наскільки далеко можуть просунутися мистецтво та технології всього за кілька років. У цій заключній частині представлені художники з усіх галузей (кіно, анімація, відеоігри, тематичні парки), а їхні чудові роботи ілюструють широкий спектр тонів та тем. Ви також дізнаєтеся про самих творців з їхніх супровідних біографій, які додають особистого, а іноді й комічного, штриха.

Цілком доречно, що з наближенням завершення серії, Nuthin’ But Mech 4 об’єднує найбільшу кількість творчих людей на сьогоднішній день — п’ятдесят сім — кожен з оригінальними та винахідливими точками зору. Більше таланту, більше натхнення, більше механіки!
