Перша повна книга про творчість Джуна Такахаші з UNDERCOVER, ікони вуличного одягу Harajuku та ймовірного спадкоємця важкої мантії японської деконструкції.

Мода Такахаші Джуна не народилася з надмірно інтелектуалізованої програми. Хоча він і не зовсім популістський, його творчий вплив натомість романтичний — навіть готичний. Невід’ємна частина паризьких колекцій протягом більше десяти років — плюс сімнадцять безперервних сезонів у Токіо до цього — робота всього життя Такахаші підтверджує розвиток від самосвідомої вигадливості та бунтарської стилістики до сталевої, виснажливої ​​елегантності в цілому. Як і його друг NIGO® з *A Bathing Ape®, Такахаші родом із префектури Гунма®, довгі стосунки Такахаші з беззаперечним королем Ура-Харадзюку на початку 1990-х стали предметом місцевої модної історії. Але Такахаші прокладе зовсім інший шлях до легенд і слави. Жорстокий розрив і поспішне збирання, які характеризували його ранні роботи, їх прораховані недосконалості та зшиті шви, поступилися місцем колекціям, які він сам тепер називає «сексуальними та жіночними». UNDERCOVER містить глибоко підібрані розділи, наповнені модою, присвячені ескізам Такахаші, графічним роботам, співпраці та найбільш інноваційним дизайнам на сьогоднішній день.

Розкішно ілюстрована понад 200 фотографіями та докладними есе модних письменників, кураторів і колег, ця книга дає читачам перший доступ до UNDERCOVER Такахаші, однієї з найбажаніших і багатовимірних ліній одягу в сучасній моді.

Про автора:

Джун Такахаші – засновник UNDERCOVER, лейбла, який він заснував у 1990 році. Сьюзі Менкес – британська журналістка та модний критик.

With specially commissioned photography, this unprecedented volume celebrates a legacy of accessories design by the legendary couture house of Valentino.

This lavish tribute to the couture house of Valentino’s accessories line is exceptionally timely: since the long-time accessories team, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, took over as the creative directors for Valentino in 2008, the house has experienced record-breaking success and received international acclaim. Known for their daring approach redefining femininity, Chiuri and Piccioli’s continuance of accessories design has only magnified the line’s popularity.

Equally important is Chiuri and Piccioli’s transformation of traditional Italian handcraftsmanship into a new international barometer of glamorous design. By infusing the highest quality materials and crafts with streetwise attitude, their accessories have become some of the most coveted items in the fashion world.

Valentino: Objects of Couture showcases commissioned images and artworks by various well-known artists — David Bailey, Luisa Lambri,  Nobuyoshi Araki, Duane Michals, Scheltens & Abbenes, Philip Lorca di Corcia and Douglas Gordon—of over 300 of the house of Valentino’s most well-known accessory designs. Art directed by REM-Ruini e Mariotti and along with an insightful essay by the art curator Francesco Bonami, this work presents a rich volume in celebration of Valentino’s exquisitely designed collections.

This book is perfect for devotees of fashion, style, photography, and glamour, and also anyone who understands that a Valentino handbag or heels, even when paired with jeans, is statement-worthy.

About the Authors:

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli have been the acclaimed creative directors of Valentino since 2008. Francesco Bonami is a renowned art critic, curator, and editor.

The French High Jewelry Maison through more than 500 creations and archival documents, from 1906 to nowadays 

This book presents the legendary jewellery and precious objects of Van Cleef & Arpels, and how they relate to time, nature and love. Time is a fundamental element for both creativity and craftsmanship. Time gives objects their shape; defines their style; determines their function, social utility, and the choice of materials and techniques; indicates origin; hones taste; and reveals context. Time is interpreted through eight values inspired by Italo Calvino’s Lezioni Americane, or Six Memos for the Next Millennium, to honor the iconic pieces created by Van Cleef & Arpels over the years, from Art Deco masterpieces to the illustrious Zip necklace, gravity-defying Mystery Set, or celebrated Minaudières ― some of the most important innovations in the history of 20th-century jewellery-making.

Nature plays an equally important role for Van Cleef & Arpels as an ever-present source of inspiration and tribute, embodied in unique gems and timeless masterpieces drawing on flora and fauna. Van Cleef & Arpels is founded on love, the most powerful energy in the world. Each object is handcrafted with love, and Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery has sealed some of the century’s most legendary love stories.

In a brilliant historical and critical essay, illuminated by a stunning iconographic selection of jewellery, precious objects and archive materials, this work describes the Maison’s eternal values of time, nature and love.

«Vanity Fair 100 Years демонструє століття особистості та влади, мистецтва та комерції, кризи та культури — як еліти, так і низьких.

Від свого заснування в 1913 році, через епоху джазу та Велику депресію, до свого перевтілення в роки буму Рейгана та насиченої образами інформаційної ери, Vanity Fair представляв сучасну епоху такою, якою вона розгорталася, використовуючи дотепність, уяву, неперевершену літературну розповідь та сміливі, новаторські образи від найвидатніших фотографів, художників та ілюстраторів того часу.

Ця розкішна книга розглядає світ десятиліття за десятиліттям, яким його бачить журнал, зупиняючись, щоб описати незрівнянного редактора Френка Крауніншилда та народження Vanity Fair епохи джазу, суперечливе відродження журналу в 1983 році та історію гламурної вечірки «Оскар» Vanity Fair.

Завдяки вичерпному розмаху, візуальному впливу та формату «капсули часу», Vanity Fair 100 Years — це книга, яку кожен захоче прочитати у 2013 році.

On Venini’s 100th anniversary, this book celebrates the excellence of Italian high artistic glass craftsmanship and the vases that made history.

From Venice to the world, this special book recounts the prolific and original manufacture of Venini, the glass art company founded 100 years ago in Murano, Venice, by the visionary genius of Paolo Venini and Giacomo Cappellin. Over the course of a century, Venini has pursued the goal of innovation in keeping with tradition: the brand has transformed the ancient art of glassmaking by “intersecting” it with the modern visions of artists and designers. It has gained international fame and become the obsession of collectors all over the world. Venini objects are present in private collections, as well as museums and public institutions.

The book describes the evolution of Venini’s taste, style, and innovation, thanks to the images and stories of key designers and art directors, such as Paolo Venini, Carlo Scarpa, Gio Ponti, Gae Aulenti, Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Tadao Ando, and Ron Arad. The imagery includes about 150 illustrations: photos of glass, archive documents, original drawings, and a photoshoot carried out in the furnace itself. These images will allow readers to enter the beating heart of Venini craftsmanship and observe all the stages of glassmaking.

The designer, author and design activist Victor J. Papanek anticipated an understanding of design as a tool for political change and social good that is more relevant today than ever. He was one of the first designers in the mainstream arena to critically question design's social and ecological consequences, introducing a new set of ethical questions into the design field.

Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design offers a comprehensive overview of the work of the designer, author, and activist Victor J. Papanek. His main work, the instructive guide Design for the Real World published in 1971, is as much in focus as his designs and his commitment to social minorities, the so-called Third World, and the considerate use of natural resources.

This book documents countless photographs, artistic works and designs, objects, drawings, letters, and other materials, some of which are published here for the first time. Papanek’s close exchange with contemporaries such as Richard Buckminster Fuller, George Nelson, and Marshall McLuhan is also examined. Contemporary work by Tomás Saraceno, Catherine Sarah Young, Gabriel Ann Maher, Thomas Thwaites, and Forensic Architecture, as well as Flui Coletivo and Questtonó, among others, rounds off the publication and demonstrates that Papanek’s interpretation of design as a tool for social transformation is as relevant as ever and continues to shape debate on social design, critical design, and design thinking. 

With essays by Alison J. Clarke, Amelie Klein, Jan Boelen, Felicity Scott, Jamer Hunt, Cameron Tonkinwise, among other contributors.
