Renowned designer and former US national team oarsman Jack Carlson’s revised and expanded edition of Rowing Blazers is an essential and glorious celebration of the classic garment.

This handsome, eye-catching ode to the classic rowing blazer is a must-have for anyone who has raced the rivers or cheered on their favorite crew. Classic American style was born in British boathouses, where the very first blazers were made for college rowing clubs. This book, now revised and expanded, was created by champion rower Jack Carlson, who offers an insider’s guide to the elaborately striped, piped, trimmed, and badged garments, as well as the stories, historic clubs, and races associated with them and, of course, the elite athletes themselves.

Featuring stunning color photographs, Rowing Blazers is a visual feast, transporting readers to the highly atmospheric boathouses, campuses, and team rooms of clubs around the world. This revised edition features some 40 additional clubs, including the University of Tokyo; the Shanghai Rowing Club; Row New York, a nonprofit organization stressing academic achievement as well as rowing prowess; and Manley Career Academy High School in Chicago, the first all-Black high school rowing team in the US.

A stunning volume showcasing the magnificent court dress of the Russian Empire, culled from the authoritative collection at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, photographed with the Winter Palace as a backdrop. Prerevolutionary Russia was renowned for the glamorous and luxurious lifestyles of the nobility, with their opulent palaces and glittering social life. Now, this lavish volume reveals the incredible clothing they wore, from everyday dress and ceremonial attire (traditional holidays outfits and military uniforms) to dress for special occasions, including elaborate evening wear for theater and musical events and fancy masquerade balls. Celebrated for luxurious materials and impeccable craftsmanship, the dress of the Russian nobility was haute couture at its finest. With beautiful photography and details highlighting the hand-spun silks and lace and jeweled embroideries, Russian Splendor highlights the glamour of this gilded age and offers a fascinating window into a vanished world. Essays by Hermitage Museum curators, alongside historic Russian paintings and photographs, place the clothing in a historical context, revealing the rich cultural layers and artistic influences of czarist Russia.

About the Author:

Mikhail Piotrovsky has been the director of the State Hermitage Museum since 1992 and has dedicated his career to making the treasures of the museum accessible to individuals and institutions around the world. Georgy Vilinbakhov, Evelina Tarasova, Tamara Korshunova, Nina Tarasova, and Julia Plotnikova are top researchers and curators at the Historic Costume Department of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Russian Textiles showcases the gorgeous printed-cotton textiles created and manufactured in Russia and exported to Central Asia from approximately 1860 to 1960. More than 175 spectacular patterns spanning a variety of periods and styles, from Art Nouveau florals to Soviet-era agitprop, are featured. The people in these Central Asian countries - including Uzbeks, Tadjiks, and Turkmen - incorporated the brightly patterned material into their clothing, particularly their robes, and in their household items.

Brief essays by the author and fellow textile experts describe the “social life” of the fabrics and the fascinating history of this merging of Russian, Western, and Central Asian aesthetic styles; Robert Kushner contributes a lively text on how an artist “sees” and is inspired by these designs. Complementing the pattern images are vintage photographs from the turn of the 20th century as well as beautifully detailed reproductions of the robes and other articles that were lined and embellished with these cloths

The first book on the great American landscape painter to focus primarily on his work in Nevada, capturing the beauty of the American West, its open spaces and the developing landscape at the dawn of the modern era.

This is the first comprehensive publication on the paintings, letters, photographs, and poetry made by Maynard Dixon (1875–1946) while he was in Nevada. This large, landscape format book accompanies a blockbuster exhibition on this colorful western painter and illustrator.

Although Dixon’s contributions as an artist are widely recognized throughout the American West, this significant publication surveys nearly 180 artworks he created in Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and the Eastern Sierra from 1901 to 1944. Dixon first visited the state of Nevada nearly 125 years ago; and while much has changed during the past century, one can still explore many of the same remote locales depicted in these paintings or drive across the state beneath what many like to refer to as a cloud-filled, “Maynard Dixon sky.”

Richly illustrated, including a wealth of privately owned paintings never before reproduced, the volume includes by texts by scholar Donald J. Hagerty on Dixon’s Nevada journeys, a significant essay on the art of the Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam), and Dixon’s depictions of the workers who built the dam. The book has a 3-piece binding and gilded edges.

Подібно до того, як кіно, мистецтво, музика та література мають силу зворушувати людей, інноваційна робота Штефана Загмайстера показує, що графічний дизайн також може швидко розчулюватись. Його бажання — змінити застаріле мислення, і Sagmeister: Made You Look робить саме це.

Переконливий, чесний і глибоко особистий, Made You Look охоплює 20 років графічного дизайну Sagmeister. Завдяки тексту історика дизайну Пітера Холла та анотаціям із власних творів Саґмейстера книга містить зображення з архіву студії, а також конкретні впливи та опорні точки для його проектів та ідей. Ця монографія, повністю ілюстрована червоним полівінілхлоридним футляром і сріблястими позолоченими сторінками, є компіляцією практично всіх робіт Сагмейстера та його студії до 2001 року, навіть поганих речей.

Про авторів:

Штефан Загмайстер, народжений в Австрії, отримав ступінь магістра графічного дизайну в Університеті прикладних мистецтв у Відні та, як стипендіат Фулбрайта, ступінь магістра в Інституті Пратта в Нью-Йорку. Після роботи в M&Co. у Нью-Йорку з Тібором Калманом і як креативний директор гонконгського офісу рекламної агенції Leo Burnett, Sagmeister заснував нью-йоркську Sagmeister Inc. у 1993 році. Пітер Холл є дизайнерським критиком і педагогом, який багато писав про дизайн у виданнях, зокрема Metropolis, Print, I.D. Magazine, The New York Times і The Guardian. Раніше він працював старшим редактором Інституту дизайну Університету Міннесоти, написав кілька книг про дизайн і зараз викладає дизайн в Техаському університеті в Остіні.

У світі типографіки нерідко можна побачити поєднання шрифтів із засічками та без засічок в одному дизайні. Однак потрібне вміння поєднувати їх, щоб уникнути напруженості та зіткнень і забезпечити максимальну читабельність тексту в дизайні.

Від щільності шрифту до класифікації, кожен шрифт має свою особливу індивідуальність, і його слід ретельно поєднувати, щоб передати правильний тон і настрій дизайну. Завдяки добірці зразків шрифтів і їх застосуванням у дизайні Sans In Use поєднує найкращі комбінації двох категорій шрифтів і служить орієнтиром для дизайнерів і типографів, які шукають натхнення.

This is the first book to be published on one of the greatest American designers of the 20th century, who was as famous for his work in film as for his corporate identity and graphic work. Saul Bass (1920-1996) created some of the most compelling images of American postwar visual culture. Having extended the remit of graphic design to include film titles, he went on to transform the genre. His best-known works include a series of unforgettable posters and title sequences for films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Otto Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm and Anatomy of a Murder. He also created some of the most famous logos and corporate identity campaigns of the century, including those for major companies such as AT&T, Quaker Oats, United Airlines and Minolta.

His wife and collaborator, Elaine, joined the Bass office in the late 1950s. Together they created an impressive series of award-winning short films, including the Oscar-winning Why Man Creates, as well as an equally impressive series of film titles, ranging from Stanley Kubrick’s Spartacus in the early 1960s to Martin Scorsese’s Cape Fear and Casino in the 1990s.

Designed by Saul Bass's daughter Jennifer and written by distinguished design historian Pat Kirkham, who knew Saul Bass, this book contains more than 1,400 illustrations, many from the Bass archive and never published before, providing an in-depth account of one of the leading graphic artists of the 20th century.

This definitive study is eagerly anticipated by design and film enthusiasts.

The multidimensional nature and simplicity of geometric shapes have fascinated designers since design's early days

The creative possibilities that they offer are unlimited, and we interpret them constantly. Whereas the rectangle represents symmetry and order, the square, with its equal faces and angles, denotes calm and neutrality, and the circle evokes perfection and infinity.

Shapes: Geometric Forms in Graphic Design reveals how the most innovative studios and agencies continue to reinvent geometric shapes to create new design philosophies.

This is an essential guide for those who wish to incorporate new insights into their creative repertoire.

Elsa Schiaparelli (1890–1973), one of the leading fashion designers of the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, was known for her flair for the unusual.

The first designer to use shoulder pads and animal prints, and the inventor of shocking pink, Schiaparelli collaborated with artists including Jean Cocteau, Alberto Giacometti, and Salvador Dalí to create extraordinary garments such as the Dalí Lobster Dress. Schiaparelli had an affluent clientele, from Katharine Hepburn to Marlene Dietrich, who embraced her outrageous but elegant designs. She designed aviator Amy Johnson’s wardrobe for her solo flight to Cape Town in 1936 and the culottes for tennis champion Lilí Álvarez that outraged the lawn tennis establishment, and her clothes appeared in more than 30 films, including Every Day’s a Holiday with Mae West and Moulin Rouge.

Schiaparelli’s fascinating autobiography charts her rise from resident of a rat-infested apartment to designer to the stars.

About the Author:

Elsa Schiaparelli (1890–1973) was one of the leading fashion designers of the mid 20th century. She is best known for translating Surrealism into fashion. Today, her garments are part of the permanent costume and textiles collections at major museums, and her work has been the subject of major museum exhibitions.

In this exciting volume, Salvatore Ferragamo traces his life’s adventures from his origins as a village shoemaker to founding what would become a major global fashion brand.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the least important part of this book is the life story of an Italian shoemaker. We can all write our autobiography, and if I dwell on the details of my career it is only because it makes it easier to explain my calling: the work that became my life’s fundamental vocation.

Life has taught me that Nature gives us perfect feet. If they get damaged, it is because our shoes are defective. However, it is not necessary to undergo such torture, not even in the name of vanity. We can all walk happily wearing comfortable, refined, splendid shoes.
This is my whole life’s work: learning to make perfect shoes, refusing to put my name on those that aren’t.” — Salvatore Ferragamo

This is a new, completely updated edition of the autobiography of a man who made Italian fashion great throughout the world. Among the many vicissitudes of his adventurous life, the book features a magnificent series of encounters with and anecdotes about the most extraordinary Hollywood stars, such as Rudolph Valentino, Mary and Lottie Pickford, Pola Negri, Joan Crawford, and Greta Garbo. His loyal customers also included Marilyn Monroe, Douglas Fairbanks, Sophia Loren, Anna Magnani, Audrey Hepburn, and Paulette Goddard.

About the Author:

Salvatore Ferragamo was born 1898 in Bonito, a poor village in the south of Italy. After learning shoemaking in Naples, he opened a small shop in his hometown, then in 1915 immigrated to America, where he designed footwear for the film stars of the time. He returned to Italy in 1927 and founded the world-renowned Ferragamo company.
