In this book, gouache, a classic technique often compared to watercolour, acquires a new dimension and offers a bolder approach to contemporary artists, illustrators and graphic designers.

Gouache erases the boundaries between ‘proper painting’ and the spontaneous charm of watercolour, combining the advantages of both techniques. Diluted, gouache is almost like watercolour, but when used on its own, it can be applied in opaque layers with a matte surface reminiscent of pastels. Soluble in water, it is rather forgiving and allows for corrections and revisions, and finally, the fine grain of the pigment it contains makes detailed drawings possible.

The area of recycling and upcycling is a rich and growing source of innovative design in the fashion and accessories industries.

In a fast-fashion world of throw-away clothing, it is the ultimate expression of the slow-fashion movement, with each piece individually conceived and crafted from scratch, using different materials each time.

ReFashioned features 46 international designers who work with recycled materials and discarded garments, reinvigorating them with new life and value. The result is beautiful and desirable clothing and accessories that also make an important statement to the fashion world about its wasteful and exploitative practices.

As our climate, ecological and social crises converge, urgent action is needed to maximize our chances of survival. A new commercial approach is possible but it requires a systemic shift, with companies learning to operate as part of a wider 'ecosystem', allowing fashion to restore what it has taken.

Regenerative Fashion presents a roadmap for new ways of doing fashion. To keep our planet safe, we must cut production and end our dependency on fossil fuels. We must also create dignified livelihoods for the millions of people working in the industry. By using natural resources, paying factory workers and farmers a living wage and scaling up craft production, we can not only rebuild soils, ecosystems and biodiversity, but also support decarbonization, regenerate communities and ensure a just transition for all.

Part guide and part manifesto, this book shares stories of our interconnectedness with the natural world and each other, divided into sections on Nature & Materials; People, Livelihoods & Crafts; and New Economy & Leadership. Fully illustrated throughout, it features interviews from best-practice designers and businesses around the world, as well as thought pieces from leading campaigners within the industry.

Nineties fashion-from grunge, to Clueless's Alaïa, to Margiela's new couture-is an essential reference point for contemporary style. This book, created in tandem with an exhibition at The Museum at FIT, documents the changing culture, attitudes, and creatives that ushered in our visual age.

Minimalism. Deconstruction. The rejuvenation of established houses. These are just a few of the concepts that have come to define 1990s fashion. Others include an increased concern with environmentalism, developing technologies and the beginning of the fashion internet, freewheeling historical references, and a predilection for lifting significant styles from other cultures (the issues raised by this 'borrowing' are reviewed through a contemporary lens). In the twenty years since the decade ended, the fashion world has experienced several nineties revivals.

Reinvention and Restlessness: Fashion in the 90s focuses specifically on designers who challenged the expected appearance or workings of high fashion, and who played an important role in laying the foundation for fashion of the twenty-first century, including: Tom Ford, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Martin Margiela, Stella McCartney, Helmut Lang, Jil Sander, Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo, and Viktor & Rolf. Additional chapters address changes to fashion editorials and campaigns (under talents like Steven Meisel, Corinne Day, Inez & Vinoodh, Mark Borthwick, and Nan Goldin), a new theatricality to runway presentations, and the emergence of fashion theory as a field.

Вишукані витвори втілюють наші найкращі мистецькі спроби та дають уявлення про велич цивілізацій, які їх створили. Нам достатньо дивуватися їх красі та чарівності, не кажучи вже про велику суму ресурсів, зусиль і часу, витрачених на їх виготовлення. У цій книзі ми сподіваємося пройти слідами наших попередників у нескінченній гонитві за вишуканою красою та дослідити можливості того, як цей стиль може прокласти нові шляхи в сучасному світі графічного дизайну.

“Rough” може бути наївним, грубим, інтуїтивним або необробленим. У мистецтві та дизайні «грубі» підходи до творчості прагнуть зачепити глядача своєю природністю, чесністю та сміливістю. Озираючись на нашу грубу мистецьку спадщину та зосереджуючись на грубому графічному дизайні нашого часу, ця книга представляє та завершує різні підходи до грубого вираження. У ньому ми могли дізнатися, чому і як художники створювали дитячі лінії та кольори, рвали та терли папір чи збирали сміття з вулиць. Через інтерв’ю з дизайнерами ми також можемо дослідити, як вони роблять грубе зображення «жахливо» гарним. Після прочитання цієї книги ми можемо більше захопитися такою візуальною грубістю.

Що таке Void? Це східна естетична традиція. Також це сучасний стиль, популярний в мистецтві та дизайні з 1960-х років, а саме мінімалізм. Естетика порожнечі допомагає витягнути найнеобхідніше, збільшити функціональність і, що більш важливо, досягти мирної гармонії. Ця книга допоможе читачам дослідити характерний стиль «порожнечі» у світі графічного дизайну, уважно придивитися до його історії та розвитку та обговорити його характеристики. Багате висвітлення графічного дизайну цього стилю видатних дизайнерів усього світу в цій книзі надає цінні перспективи та натхнення для всіх, хто цікавиться цим унікальним стилем.

This book evokes the world of Fantini, a “factory of Italian design” strongly connected to its territory, Lake Orta, the genius loci of its creations.

The fascinating story of this business starts in the small village of Pella, on the shores of Lake Orta, in northern Italy, yet its high-end design products created by the best-known designers, including Piero Lissoni, Michael Anastassiades, Matteo Thun, Antonio Rodriguez, Vincent Van Duysen, Naoto Fukasawa, and Paik Sun Kim, went on to travel the world in an international circuit.

Water is the common thread running through the whole book. This is the water of Lake Orta, found in the images of great photographers such as Gianni Basso, Franco Fontana, Giorgio Lotti, Gabriele Basilico, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Ferdinando Scianna, Gabriele Croppi, and Walter Zerla, who have interpreted it over time at the invitation of Fantini. However, water is also the main element of the jewellike taps produced by the company, small everyday masterpieces that bring it to our homes, renewing this great magic every day.

About the Authors:

Renato Sartori is the strategic consultant and communications manager for the Fantini company. Patrizia Scarzella is an architect and journalist. She is a consultant on social-design projects for the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. She has been collaborating with the Fantini company since 1995.

This third book in the background illustration series takes us on a sentimental journey through the scenes of our most cherished memories

Do you remember a moment in your life when you wished the time would stop? Artwork in this book captures precious moments such as these, evoking your own precious memories that you cherish in your heart.

The artwork showcased in this book illustrates sentimental moments with delicate colors and unique angles, looking back at those moments when you were alone with your crush after school, or the path that you took with your childhood best friend, the unforgettably beautiful views from summers long gone, and the rain-splashed window you gazed out from after your first broken heart. In a departure from the first title in the series, Everyday Scenes from a Parallel World, this title focuses on more touching, delicate and emotional scenes, gathering together a collection of cityscapes, countryside, a beach, a classroom after school, and a building rooftop at dawn and dusk, sunrise and sunset. Furthermore, each artist's strong sense of depth and transparency successfully illustrates the fragility and preciousness of life.

Featuring 33 artists who are quickly gaining popularity on social media in Japan (including 13 creators who have been newly added for this book), we guarantee that this book will touch readers' heartstrings and will inspire all kinds of artists and comic illustration fans.

An artistic photographic book dedicated to the reconstruction of the Polcevera Viaduct, also known as Ponte Morandi, in Genoa, which tragically collapsed in 2018.

Andrea Botto, a photographer and visual artist specializing in large works, uses his shots to describe the stages involved in the demolition of the old Ponte Morandi and the construction of the new infrastructure designed by Renzo Piano. His lens follows each phase of the undertaking with technical expertise and attention to the composition of the image, in a skillful combination of documentary reportage and aesthetic research.

Botto has been working for RINA Consulting, the Italian agency supervising both the demolition and the construction of the new bridge, which is set to become a new landmark in Genoa, having been designed by Renzo Piano, one of the most renowned architects in the world.

RINA Consulting was selected by the commissioning authority to carry out project management, supervision, quality control, and safety coordination during the execution phase of the project.

The definitive monograph on the fashion of Rick Owens -- one of the most daring and influential designers working today -- this book documents over a decade of sublime, iconic styles.

Since the establishment of his label in 1994, Rick Owens has transformed global fashion with his provocative clothing and subversive style. Distinguished by his grunge-meets-glamour aesthetic and defiant anti-fashion stance, Owens created a dark fashion empire that has accrued a devoted international following which gravitates toward the brand's sublime tailoring, somber palette, mystical layers, and gritty elegance.

Filled with photographs of Owens's most impressive looks from the last decade, this volume is conceived as a celebration of the Rick Owens aesthetic, approximating with printing effects some of the mystery and detailing associated with the brand. Iconic imagery taken from Owens's seminal lookbooks provides a unique look at the output of design from an artist who is at once comfortable with developing technologies and respectful of traditional approaches.

With principal photography by Danielle Levitt -- who achieved considerable acclaim for her social-realist images -- this book is essential for lovers of avant-garde fashion, photography, and design.
