A fully illustrated book featuring unique jewellery masterpieces, paying attention to the creators, designers and manufacturers

This book starts from those periods in history (18th and 19th centuries) when the concept of costume jewellery, which is considered to be something that puts the finishing touches on fashion, did not as yet exist. The custom in the past was to make copies of real jewels with precious or semi-precious materials; moreover, great effort was made to invent material to replace precious stones and gold (strass, marcasite, pinchbeck, pomponne, etc.)

The volume ends with an attempt to define the styles of the decades close to the contemporary period - as yet never examined - with particular interest in the '60s,'70s,'80s and '90s and in the names of creators, designers and manufacturers who are still unknown to us.

The birth of the legendary typeface

The complete reproduction of Bodoni's rare masterwork

Celebrated printer and type designer Giambattista Bodoni set the standard for printing the alphabet with his Manuale tipografico (1818). The two-volume set - published posthumously in a limited edition of 250 - features 142 sets of roman and italic typefaces, a wide selection of borders, ornaments, symbols, and flowers, as well as Greek, Hebrew, Russian, Arabic, Phoenician, Armenian, Coptic, and Tibetan alphabets.

Official printer for the Duke of Parma, Bodoni (1740-1813) declared that well-designed type derived its beauty from four principles: uniformity of design, sharpness and neatness, good taste, and charm. His typefaces display an unprecedented degree of technical refinement, and epitomize purity and grace. The culmination of more than four decades of work, the Manuale tipografico represents one of history’s greatest typographical achievements. The Bodoni typeface is still widely used even today, both in digital media and in print, and TASCHEN’s meticulous reprint of Bodoni’s masterwork gives readers a rare opportunity to explore the origins of the Bodoni typeface and learn about its creator.

Alphabet legend: The complete reproduction of a typographical masterwork

Official printer for the Duke of Parma, Giambattista Bodoni (1740-1813) declared that well-designed type derived its beauty from four principles: uniformity of design, sharpness and neatness, good taste, and charm. In his Manuale tipografico, published posthumously in 1818, he distilled these principles into a comprehensive catalog of type and set the standard for printing the alphabet thereafter.

TASCHEN s meticulous reprint of Bodoni s masterwork celebrates what was an unprecedented degree of technical refinement and visual elegance, as well as exploring the origins of the much-loved Bodoni typeface, still much deployed in both print and digital media. Like the original, the book features 142 sets of roman and italic typefaces, a wide selection of borders, ornaments, symbols, and flowers, as well as Greek, Hebrew, Russian, Arabic, Phoenician, Armenian, Coptic, and Tibetan alphabets.

Bookworm’s delight — never bore, always excite!

The beauty of the human body meets the beauty of flowers
Calls up a universe where flowers and people create an imaginative and sensual atmosphere

Florist Lien Gellynck creates a magic world of her own in which human beauty and the beauty of nature harmonise in a lyrical way. Her photographs are striking for the inventiveness of their composition and the subtle dialogue between floral art, body art and photography.

Her subjects are human figures and flowers. Lien Gellynck works with unknown models, people she meets in her daily life. She has an eye for their physical beauty, adorns them with flowers and body painting, and integrates them into poetic, symbolic and often surprising images. Her compositions are sophisticated snapshots in which she visualises various stages of the life cycle. In this way, she creates her own universe in which flowers and people evoke a sensual aura and suggest authentic emotions thanks to the power of her imagination.

When Tony Viramontes' work appeared in the late 1970s, his hard and direct style of drawing was a marked contrast to the prevailing soft-pastel school of fashion illustration. He scored immediate success, rapidly acquiring the kind of prestigious editorial commissions normally given to photographers, from Lei, Per Lui in Italy, Vogue in the USA, The Face in Britain, and Le Monde and Le Figaro in France.

This beautiful hardback book brings together an extensive collection of his work, featuring striking images of smouldering and smoky-eyed men and women who vibrate with New Wave energy. Viramontes worked with some of the most celebrated names in fashion including Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Chanel, Claude Montana and Christian Dior.

His images, from the portraits of Paloma Picasso and Isabella Rossellini to the album covers he conceived for Arcadia and Janet Jackson, perfectly capture the mood of the 1980s club and fashion scene.

The book has introduced a great deal of experience onthe book layout and typographic design, which combines practicality, artistic quality and aesthetics in one.

The book with basic theory, classic examples and creative ideas, will be a good reference for the readers.

Бордюры типографского дизайна, представленные в этой книге, относятся к концу 19 - началу 20 века.

"Каждый художник, основываясь на своем внутреннем чувстве прекрасного, представляет в своем воображении и создает коллекции орнаментов, фризов и виньеток, благодаря которым типография близка к ее традиционной чистоте и элегантности..."

Наряду с распространением и развитием рекламы, в типографском дизайне появились новые орнаменты и фризы, которые стали использоваться для украшения афиш, меню, визитных карточек, театральных программ, иногда книг.

Продолжить эту традицию поможет эта книга, в которой вы найдете множество фризов, которые могут вдохновить вас на новый дизайн.

Все иллюстрации в этой книге представлены на компакт-диске, которые могут использоваться как на PC, так и на Мас компьютерах. Изображения сохранены в файлах формата TIFF высокого разрешения.
