The first monograph on the luxury house Bottega Veneta, renowned for its superb craftsmanship and understated, no-logo elegance.

In 2002, Tomas Maier, Bottega Veneta’s Creative Director, launched the Art of Collaboration — a project that invites a world-renowned photographer or contemporary artist to collaborate on the Italian brand’s campaign for each season. With more than a thousand photographs, this book chronicles the comprehensive series of creative partnerships since the beginning.

Divided by each seasonal campaign from 2002 to 2016, Bottega Veneta: Art of Collaboration documents the collaborations between Tomas Maier and all the artists who have contributed to the creation of Bottega Veneta’s advertising portfolio including Lord Snowdon, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel, Robert Longo, Nan Goldin, Nick Knight, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, and others.

These creative individuals translate Bottega Veneta’s timeless and refined elegance into beautifully cinematic campaigns season after season. Tomas Maier, whose résumé includes positions at Sonia Rykiel and Hermès, joined Bottega Veneta in 2001 as Creative Director and re-established the original identity of the brand founded in Vicenza in 1966, focusing on its values and original motto, “When your own initials are enough.” Since joining, Maier guided the company with his distinctive vision of functional design and holistic creativity built around the dynamism of the collaborative process. Collaboration at Bottega Veneta is not only a meaningful alliance between the creative vision of its designer and the innovative techniques of the Italian master craftspeople, but extends to the way Bottega Veneta partners with talents on its advertising portfolio, and other initiatives.

Featuring some of today’s brightest visionaries working in photography, often from outside the world of fashion, Bottega Veneta: Art of Collaboration illustrates how they have each interpreted the house’s modernist aesthetic and material elegance, resulting in a book that will be an essential volume for photography aficionados.

This is the ultimate volume for the true connoisseur of luxury handcraftsmanship.

Tells the fabulous story of the founder of this famous and respected Parisian jeweller as well as the tales of passion, crime and intrigue of his famous and infamous client.

The House of Boucheron represents one of the great Parisian jewellers of the last 150 years. Founder, Frederic Boucheron opened his first shop in 1858. Many of his clients were not women of society, but femmes fatales of the demi-monde. Nonetheless, his skill with precious stones and his absolute discretion made him a favourite of both courtesans and princes. In turn, his business flourished allowing him to move to the famous Place Vendome in 1892. Having been given unprecedented access to the Boucheron vaults, the book's author, Vincent Meylan, made some remarkable discoveries. Perhaps the most significant was a register labelled 'Book of Stones'. It is a record of all the precious stones that have entered Boucheron's stock; diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and pearls are all indexed according to weight, price and, most importantly, who bought and sold them. Meylan also uncovered almost 200 order books and 150 letters. It is these 'Secret Archives' that have enabled him to reveal the fascinating history of Boucheron and his extraordinary, colourful clientele.

From the 'Ladies of Sin' to the 'King and Queens of the World' Meylan reveals the riveting stories behind the jewels that the Parisian jeweller sold; the desires they aroused, the madness they provoked, the love they formalised, and the deaths they caused. Boucheron's clients included Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, La Belle Otero, King Farouk of Egypt, and the Shah of Iran. The demands of these wealthy individuals led to the sensational orders that elevated Boucheron to the highest level of creativity. This captivating and revealing publication includes original design sketches, black and white archive images and sumptuous colour photographs of the exquisite Boucheron creations, including Tsarina Alexandra's pearl and diamond coronet and The Queen Mother's tiara.

Vincent Meylan is responsible for the 'history and royalty' pages in Point de Vue. He is also a specialist in precious stones and in 'haute joaillerie'. He is the author of several biographies and of Queens' Jewels

The suggestive power of packaging as a communication tool.

Boxed & Labelled Two! is a compelling exploration of the power of state-of-the-art packaging design today and documents its main strategic directions - all of which address a longing for “truthfulness.” Because our relationship to food products has changed so drastically in the last few years, especially in regard to the importance we place on the source and quality of ingredients, the majority of the examples in this book are food-related. But other examples from a wide spectrum of products also highlight the traits that distinguish those on the cutting edge of the evolution in packaging concepts.

Packaging is the face of a product. Packaging not only gives a product its visual identity, but it can also determine where that product is placed on a crowded store shelf and can be the crucial factor in determining our decision to buy. Over the last few years, however, the understanding of the role of packaging has changed. In the past, packaging was thought of as an extension of the product’s print advertising campaign - as a mere projection screen for established logos and brand messages. Today, the packaging is considered to be a self-contained facet of an overall communication concept.

Boxed & Labelled Two! documents the main strategic directions that exist in current packaging design - all of which address a longing for "truthfulness". One of these directions is an increased tendency to emphasize the tried and true values of a product, for example, with a retro look that aims for an "Ah, just like grandma used to make!" reaction. Another direction is down-to-earth rather than in-your-face packaging, including unostentatious solutions made of recycled paper that play up a product´s connection to nature. On the other end of the design spectrum, there is also packaging that gives a product a distinct look and feels through a very playful use of graphic design, patterns, and illustration.

Because our relationship to food products has changed so drastically in the last few years, especially in regard to the importance we place on the source and quality of ingredients, the majority of the examples in Boxed & Labelled Two! are food-related. But other examples from a wide spectrum of products also highlight the traits that distinguish those on the cutting edge of the evolution in packaging concepts.

Although the work in Boxed & Labelled Two! ranges from minimalistic to whimsical, from clear-cut to ambiguous, all of the featured examples deliver their own unique brand values and experiences. With its inspiring and entertaining selection of products that stand apart in the competitive marketplace, this book is a compelling exploration of the communication power of state-of-the-art packaging design today.

A reference tool for the branding of current protest developments in context with historic relevant protest movements.

Branded Protest researches the power of branding and its influence on current protest movements, giving examples of unique branding efforts that support protest. Branding, a term normally associated with corporate profit goals, should be seen in a larger context and has a bigger role we sometimes misunderstand. This book takes a closer look at the relationship between “branding” and “protest”.

One of the movements the book highlights is Black Lives Matter. The chapter on BLM features an interview with Design Action Collective, the creative behind the logo and online presence of Black Lives Matter; a piece on DeRay Mckesson, a Black Lives Matter activist and prominent member, to show how a person can function as a brand; and to discuss body language as a branding tool, it takes a look at Colin Kaepernick's kneeling protest.

In a time of hypermediation, visual stimulation generally holds the key to the success of a message. To streamline the process, branding is becoming an essential part of the communication channel. The success of protest actions are increased by good branding. When executed well, branding allows connection with like-minded people and visions, reflects values, inspires people to take action, and helps people feel part of something bigger.

Several important individuals from various protest movements of the last two decades have been interviewed throughout the book, such as Terrie Ng from the The Umbrella Movement; Amy Hayes Stellhorn from the Women's March; Clare Farrell, Miles Glyn, Clive Russell and Charlie Waterhouse from Extinction Rebellion; and many more. Organisers, activists, strategists, artists and designers from around the world have contributed to this book. Branded Protest highlights examples where the branding aspect is an essential part of the movement. It looks particular at branding methods and the actions amplified by the protesters.
