Big Type досліджує графічний дизайн та роботу з ідентифікації, де акцент робиться на типографіці.

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.

Перукар Боб Ресін підходить до голови як до арматури для скульптури.

Людина, яка створила деякі з найбільш авангардних зачісок і головних уборів, які носила Леді Ґаґа, Ресіне підняв зачіски на неймовірно творчі висоти — часто буквально, коли він приводить коси та пасма своїх об’єктів у контури, що не піддають впливу гравітації, доповнюючи їх скульптурними жестами, такими як купи навушників чи сонцезахисних окулярів, вусики Play-Doh. і складні сітки з дроту або целофану. Починаючи як художник, Ресін забезпечив проект створення зачісок і прикрас для голови Анрі Бенделя.

Його дизайни привернули увагу всесвітньо відомого перукаря Жана Луї Давида, який запропонував йому можливість поїхати до Парижа та відточити свою майстерність; Через чотири роки Recine повернувся до Нью-Йорка, озброївшись портфоліо інноваційних стилів для найкращих фотографів і журналів. Сьогодні Ресін є легендою серед знаменитостей, які працювали з Гвінет Пелтроу, Шарліз Терон, Наомі Воттс, Анджеліною Джолі, Кетрін Зета-Джонс, Кейт Хадсон, Рене Зеллвегер, Умою Турман, Ніколь Кідман і Тільдою Суінтон. Його таланти навіть повернули його у світ образотворчого мистецтва завдяки його широкій співпраці з Ванессою Бікрофт.

Alchemy of Beauty збирає оригінальні твори мистецтва Речіна, від фотографій, ескізів, колажів і картин до раніше опублікованих і неопублікованих редакційних зображень його незвичайних скульптур і головних уборів. Художнє керівництво томом — Фаб’єн Барон.

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.

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.
