The luxury French jeweler Chaumet celebrates the beauty of tiaras with an exceptionally creative pop-up book featuring ten fairytales in mesmerizing dioramas.

Tiaras are symbols of power and sophistication that Chaumet has mastered throughout 240 years of history — crowning the beauty of prestigious clients, from Napoleon’s wife, Empress Joséphine, to contem-porary icons.

Celebrating their most emblematic examples, this exceptional piece of bookmaking features colorful illustrations and short stories. The ten tableaux, each highlighting one iconic Chaumet piece, invite readers to travel through space and time: strolling in the Malmaison garden with Napoleon and Joséphine; partying during the Roaring Twenties; wandering under the shade of Japanese cherry blossom trees; or dancing on a rooftop in contemporary Shanghai. Timeless and universal, the stories will appeal to a wide audience while intricate details of the laser-cut dioramas captivate the eye. An invitation to daydream, these scenes reflect an enchanting tale that readers can discover in one sitting or indulge in separately, according to their mood.

Tokyo is home to a creative and daring street-style scene, rich with subcultures and shaped by constant motion. 

In Tokyo Street Style, fashion writer Yoko Yagi explores influential trends, covering an eclectic range of styles from kawaii cute to genderless looks, while designers, editors, models, stylists, and other important personalities in the Tokyo fashion scene share their individual approaches to style in interviews. Moving from a glimpse of the outrageous fashion found on the streets of Harajuku to everyday-chic work and weekend attire, this comprehensive guide offers a lively overview of an extraordinary urban culture with a rich collection of inspirational photographs and practical guidance for cultivating Tokyo style, no matter where you live.

Concluding with a curated selection of the best boutiques and vintage stores, along with some of the most fashionable places to eat and drink, Tokyo Street Style is a colourful lookbook and travel guide filled with insight from Japan’s most fascinating tastemakers.

About the Authors:

Yoko Yagi is a fashion editor and writer who has worked with the well-known women’s fashion magazine SOEN and Bunka Publishing Bureau’s editorial department.

A reunion of the world-famous masters of erotic art

Four years since the publication of the well-received Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Kill! dedicated to filmmaker Russ Meyer, three legends of erotic art, Hajime Sorayama, Rockin’ Jelly Bean, and Katsuya Terada reunite to bring fans Tokyo Sweet Gwendoline.

With a nod to fetish photographer John Willie and his legendary fetish magazine Bizarre, which established the aesthetic of modern bondage, these three legends express bondage fetish fantasy worlds in their own style, including 60 artworks in full color.

Tomboys are confident, rebellious, and adventurous. They are bold, brazen, fierce - and sexy. They aren’t known for following rules, they are known for doing - and wearing - whatever they want.

Tomboy captures the tomboy’s style, her je ne sais quoi, her wardrobe, and most importantly, her spirit. Throughout the twentieth century, the mass marketing of gender stereotypes meant tomboys cropped up against the odds, trends, and ads. As menswear-inspired fashions for women have exploded into the mainstream under the helm of designers and stylists ranging from J.Crew to Rag & Bone to Boy by Band of Outsiders, acceptance of both the word tomboy and the women associated with its edge has been set into play. But a tomboy is not just about style - tomboys are measured in equal parts wardrobe and spirit.

A visual history that chronicles the past eighty years of women who blur the line between masculinity and femininity, Tomboy explores the evolution of the style and its icons. Vivid commentary illuminates the tomboy’s history and captures a diversity of women who are bound together by their inherent ability to seamlessly blend a rugged sensibility with classic, understated elegance

The largest unique collection of printed memorabilia from the punk and post-punk movements.

Andrew Krivine began collecting punk memorabilia in 1977 when punk exploded onto the scene. Since then, Andrew has amassed one of the world's largest collection of punk graphic design and memorabilia.

This book features a carefully curated selection of over 650 posters, club flyers, record covers and adverts from the collection. Together they represent the prime years of punk which changed the world of graphic design forever with its do-it-yourself aesthetics.

The artworks are put into context by graphic design experts, academics and commentators. Among them former art director of New York Times Steven Heller, reader in graphic design at the London College of Communication Dr Russ Bestley, graphic design writer Rick Poynor, designer Malcolm Garrett and Pulitzer Prize-winning editor Michael Wilde. The book spans the growth and evolution of punk on both sides of the Atlantic including The Clash, The Buzzocks, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Television, The Ramones, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Devo, Blondie, Flying Lizards, Public Image Ltd, The Only Ones, The Slits, New Order, REM and Joy Division.

A collectable item itself, the book is beautifully produced with front and back cover artwork by Malcolm Garrett and Peter Saville, the designers behind some of punk's most memorable album covers. Arguably the most essential and final work on the graphic design revolution within the punk and post-punk movements of the UK and America, Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die will appeal to punk fans and graphic designers alike.

Part of Andrew's collection is currently touring the world as the Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die exhibition and has been on display at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York among other museums.

This highly anticipated follow-up volume presents the exquisite designs of Tord Boontje, one of the most creative and romantic industrial designers working today.

Tord Boontje: Enchanted World is a comprehensive visual document of the designer’s most recent work. As an artist and a craftsman, Boontje incorporates an artisanal sensibility into contemporary industrial design, drawing upon a rich graphic tradition to create objects of exceptional beauty and delicacy.

Featured here are some of his latest works, many undertaken after Boontje stepped down as Head of Design Products at the Royal College of Art in 2013 (a position he assumed after Ron Arad in 2009). Now, solely focused on his own design studio in London, Boontje showcases many of his designs, including the wispy Icarus Lamp, an armoire constructed entirely of pressed-metal fig “leaves” for Meta, a portable Bluetooth speaker for Yamaha hidden under a curtain of horsehair, and many other romantic explorations that have made Boontje’s output stand out in the world of design. Combining developing technologies and traditional approaches, his pieces are prized for their originality, delicacy, and intricate detail. This book is a must for design lovers, providing readers with a window into how Boontje crafts his unique objects, from studio prototype to retail. Indeed, the book is conceived as a work of total design, using special printing effects and beautiful marginalia on almost every page in the form of Boontje’s sensitive and romantic detailed hand-drawn illustrations that have served as the inspiration for many of the objects featured here.

So many people find choosing colours that work together to be the most challenging part of doing up their homes. The trick to putting together rooms that are good to look at as well as easy to live in is to start with a colour palette that suits you and your situation. Tricia Guild has spent her life working with colour, pattern and texture to create beautiful rooms and producing collections of paint, fabric and wallpapers – the colour palettes she uses to achieve them.

In this inspiring and practical book she’s lifted the lid on her ‘paint box’, providing visual inspiration, expert advice and 45 bespoke palettes. Each story describes its inspiration and features a room showing how it can be used. Hints and tips – such as how to use plains, patterns and texture, or how to alter the balance of the colours – spell out how to create different effects. Mood boards demonstrate how to ensure your chosen palettes will work. With all these elements at your disposal all you need to do is open up the Paint Box and get creative!

In this book Tricia Guild has lifted the lid on her own 'paint box' - the colours with which she chooses to colour her world. She collates some of her favourite palettes, inspired by nature, her travels, art and architecture, fashion and everyday combinations of colours that surround us. They can all be adapted to suit your style and your home and, although many may feature pattern, every single one will work like a dream in purely plain colours.

“I would like to share with you the way I choose colours, I love to put them together in a palette, then use this in a mix of plains, pattern and texture to evoke the mood I seek in a room.
To imbue one’s home with the same expression and personality is to harness the power of colour in your own way.”
Tricia Guild OBE
Creative Director and Founder of Designers Guild.

Over the years Tricia has met many people who are more than a little nervous of embracing colour in their own homes. At Designers Guild, it has always been her passionate goal to give people the confidence to embrace hues and textures that she knows will enrich their lives. Her aim has been to share that sense of unadulterated joy one feels when contemplating a glorious landscape or work of art in order to create a desirable living space.

In PAINT BOX, you will discover where Tricia’s unique sense of colour and style comes from and, most importantly, how to replicate these palettes in the home. With stunning interior photography, this colour compilation is inspirational but, above all, practical and useful.

Thirteen words, thirteen protagonists, thirteen stories. This special journey crosses different regions and tells of mastery, know-how, emotions, and characters that honor ancient Italian traditions.

Gaggia, the brand that invented espresso machines for bars and homes, wanted to represent Italian creativity in 13 stories. To achieve this, it selected the same number of contemporary artisans, including a blacksmith, a motorcycle restorer, a ceramist, a hatter, a tailor, and a creator of floral sets, and depicted them in the pages of the book through the images of Stefania Giorgi and the words of Laura Maggi.

In this tale, coffee is an often invisible link; it represents the irreplaceable value of reflection, of time rediscovered, of having a break.

About the Author:

Laura Maggi is an independent journalist and curator with extensive professional experience in design, contemporary art, architecture, lifestyle, and travel. Stefania Giorgi belongs to a family of photographers. She collaborates with national and foreign interior design and travel magazines.

From love stories to exciting adventures on the road, famous travelers share their favorite journeys across the world, making memories, and bringing along their indispensable TUMI bags along for every voyage.

TUMI presents the stories of its most loyal fans and the bags that they've relied on throughout years of traveling the globe. From musician Lenny Kravitz reminiscing on how his TUMI luggage was an extension of his home after decades of being on tour to a gripping account from a passenger on the "Miracle on the Hudson" flight and how he and his TUMI bag survived Captain Sully's heroic landing, to brother-sister Olympic medalist duo Maia and Alex Shibutani using their carry-on rolling luggage every day to and from the ice-skating rink, this volume is filled with photographs, travel mementos, and diverse stories of life on the road with their precious cargo. Part travel diary, part ode to fine luggage, this new book is perfect for wanderlust-filled readers everywhere.

The aim of this beautifully illustrated book is to offer a highly extensive and versatile anthology of pieces, accompanied on one hand by technical and in-depth captions and on the other by a scientifically documented yet concise and absorbing essay.

The whole collection is organised chronologically starting with the fabrics conceived by the artists of the Secessions (Berlin, Munich, Vienna), from Moser to Hoffman and Klimt, and those of Art Nouveau, to then go on to look at the problem of the fabrics with a Deco and Novecento flavour, and the production from the fifties, in European and the USA, with the influences of Informal artistic culture, then through the experiences of Pop Art, Op Art and Kinetic Art, up to the most contemporary successes.

The volume includes biographies of the designers and main manufacturers, a glossary of technical terms, a thematic bibliography and an index of names.
