An extraordinary book celebrating the unique connection between the House of Dior and the United States.  

Published on the occasion of the retrospective staged at the Brooklyn Museum, this new title chronicles the history of the House of Dior from 1947, when Chris-tian Dior heralded the birth of a new era of elegance with his revolutionary New Look, to the present day, with a special focus on the House’s legacy in America.

Featuring a sophisticated Swiss binding, this book presents the exhibition’s highlights with creations by Christian Dior and the artistic directors who succeeded him: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Captured by artist Katerina Jebb, some of the House’s most legendary designs are displayed in highly unique images. A portfolio of iconic photographs by American masters — including Richard Avedon, Cass Bird, Henry Clarke, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Zoë Ghertner, Ethan James Green, Tyler Mitchell, Irving Penn, and many more — underscores Dior’s undeniable cultural influence.

The year 1947 was a crucial one for Christian Dior. It was then that the fashion designer simultaneously founded his maison and his perfume factory in Paris. The success of his first essence, Miss Dior, was so outstanding as to leave its permanent mark in history. Ten years later, on 24 October 1957, Christian Dior’s untimely death conferred a new dimension to a decade characterized by an uncommon destiny.

Hence the Musée International de la Parfumerie pays its tribute to this fashion designer-perfumer on the 70th anniversary of Miss Dior and of the New Look.

The popular young fashion designer takes us through the creation of his favorite gowns, from sketch to dress, updated with fourteen recent creations.

Following the 2008 debut of his eponymous label at New York Fashion Week, Christian Siriano burst into international stardom, becoming a red-carpet favorite and one of today’s most popular young fashion designers. Known for the sophisticated structure and exquisite movement of his gowns, Siriano has also gained fans for his vision of inclusiveness in fashion. In this updated edition of Dresses to Dream About, the beloved designer offers an intimate glimpse into his imaginative design process, featuring fourteen new ensembles.

This book takes readers through the creative journey of Siriano’s coveted dresses, from initial inspiration to finished gown. Each dress featured in the book has been chosen by the designer and its creation is narrated in Siriano’s own words. Sketches, mood boards, and photographs of the designer at work in his Manhattan studio give a behind-the-scenes look of the materials and crafting of his lavish dresses, culminating in images of the finished gowns, presenting an intimate look at the work of one of America’s most accomplished young fashion designers.

The creation of artistic patterns dates back to our ancient past. From Egypt to Morocco, Greece to China, patterns and pattern makers played a valuable role in the creation of early arts and crafts. Ornamental carpets, tapestries and fabrics from the Classical period, through the Middle Ages and into the 20th century, predominantly featured flora, fauna and ancient symbols. Classic Patterns takes inspiration from this rich history, but draws out new and fresh nuances in pattern creation. Talented designers featured include Charlotte Day and Nicoletta Pagano.

Celebrates the founder and queen of a fashion empire who revolutionised the concept of feminine elegance

Coco Chanel was founder and queen of a fashion empire, and her name is forever linked to an unmistakable style. Before all this, Mademoiselle Coco was Gabrielle, a poor orphan who rejected convention and put her independence above all else. With her grit and tenacity, she made her fortune and restored freedom to women.

This volume celebrates a true icon 50 years after her passing, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the timeless Chanel No. 5. She revolutionised the concept of feminine elegance with straight dresses and inventions that would later become icons: these were the little black dress, Chanel No. 5, costume jewellery, the suit with gold buttons, the quilted bag. Her myth lives again in a biography illustrated by images portraying her as the perfect embodiment of the timeless elegance. Because, as Coco said, “fashion passes; style remains.”

An illustrated guide to the history and symbolism of colours, as used in artworks throughout the ages, from prehistory to the present day.

Colour, which has the power to impart meaning or express emotion, has fascinated humans for millennia. This comprehensive, illustrated guide demonstrates how colour―through different periods, cultures, and artistic movements―has been used in art: from the black, red, and white pigments first used in prehistoric cave paintings to the muted tones of Gabonese Punu masks replete with spiritual significance, or from Andy Warhol’s Gold Marilyn Monroe with its flashy hues borrowed from the advertising world to the signature “outrenoir” (beyond black) of the late Pierre Soulages.

From oil painting to optical art, this international history of colour unfurls over thirty major periods in the development of colour in the arts, elucidating their characteristics, key works, and exponents. The symbolism given to a particular color and how such associations have evolved over time is revealed. A gallery of sixty works that are remarkable for their extraordinary use of colour includes the explosion of light emanating from Joseph Mallord William Turner’s Light and Colour (Goethe’s Theory), the fleeting moments of dawn depicted with broken brushstrokes and colorful intensity in Monet’s Impression, Sunrise, and the acidulous tones of David Hockney’s portrait My Parents. A final chapter examines the materials and techniques used to achieve chromatic effects. Complete with extensive cross-references, this accessible guide allows readers to discover more about a particular movement, theme, or technique, and offers an enlightening and polychromatic overview to the history of colour in art.

Широкий і захоплюючий вступ до місця та сили кольору в житті та мистецтві від Джона Гейджа, автора відзначеної нагородами «Колір і культура».

Складний феномен кольору отримав детальну увагу з точки зору фізики, хімії, фізіології, психології, лінгвістики та філософії. Однак у людей, які найбільше працюють з кольором – художників – рідко запитували їхню думку щодо цієї таємничої теми.

Джон Гейдж збирається усунути це упущення, зосереджуючись на думках і практиках художників. Колір у мистецтві стосується історії кольору, але сам по собі не є історією; натомість кожен розділ розробляє тему з іншої наукової дисципліни, як це видно з точки зору таких різних митців, як Василь Кандинський, Вінсент Ван Гог, Соня Делоне, Бріджит Райлі та Кліффорд Посум Т’япалт’яррі. Спираючись на приклади віків, від стародавніх часів до сьогодення, багато тем, які розглядаються, включають прапори, синестезію, теософію, театральний дизайн, кіно, хромотерапію та хромофобію.

Це нове видання цього класичного тексту містить нову передмову художньої письменниці Келлі Гров’єр, яка описує сучасні розробки у вивченні кольору, а також оновлену бібліографію. Це нове видання цього класичного тексту пропонує широкий і захоплюючий вступ до місця та сили кольору в житті та мистецтві.

Про автора:

Джон Гейдж — визнаний міжнародний авторитет в галузі історії мистецтва та кольору, написав багато книг на цю тему, зокрема «Колір і значення» та відзначену нагородами «Колір і культура», обидві опубліковані Thames & Hudson. З 1992 по 1995 рік він очолював кафедру історії мистецтва Кембриджського університету. Келлі Гров’є є автором статей для BBC Culture і автором кількох відомих досліджень про мистецтво, зокрема A New Way of Seeing: The History of Art in 57 Works (2018) та The Art of Colour (2023), обидві опубліковані видавництвом Thames & Hudson.

Taking a practical approach to colour, Colour: A Workshop for Artists and Designers is an invaluable resource for art students and professionals alike. With its sequence of specially designed assignments and in-depth discussions, it effectively bridges the gap between colour theory and practice to inspire confidence and understanding in anyone working with colour. This third edition is updated with more contemporary examples drawn not just from painting, but from textiles, graphic design, illustration and animation. An expanded discussion of digital techniques, new assignments and a refreshed design have all been brought together to create a highly readable and relevant text.
