Mad for ads: Advertising for the Space Age Gleaned from thousands of images, this book offers the best of American print advertising in the age of the "Big Idea." From the height of American consumerism, bold and colourful campaigns paint a fascinating portrait of the 1950s and 60s, as concerns about the Cold War gave way to the carefree booze-and-cigarettes capitalism of the Mad Men era.

Digitally remastered for optimum reproduction quality, the ads burst with crisp fonts and colours, as well as a sexy sense of possibility, beguiling their audience to buy everything from guns to girdles, cars to toothpaste, air travel to home appliances. At turns startling, amusing and inspiring, this panorama of mid-century marketing is at once an evocative period piece and a showcase of design innovation and advertising wit.

The mini icons in this book are designed for use on hand-held organisers, such as Palm and other PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). The restrictions dictated by such devices mean that designers must be extremely inventive to produce recognisable images with a minimum of pixels. The resulting designs are of amazing simplicity and must be viewed in small format to be distinguished properly.

Minimalism and Fashion is the first book to examine the minimalist movement in fashion while addressing its confluence with and divergence from similar currents in art, architecture, and design. Organized by decade, the text explores the evolving relationships and influences between fine art and the art of sartorial minimalism and is accompanied by more than 150 breathtaking images.

This sumptuous volume considers the work of the world’s most important designers and artists in fascinating juxtaposition. It contains creations by noteworthy designers, including Madeleine Vionnet, André Courrèges, Halston, Karl Lagerfeld, Rei Kawakubo, Miuccia Prada, Yohji Yamamoto, Helmut Lang, and many others. There are major works by such key minimalist artists as Frank Stella, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, Rachel Whiteread, Peter Halley, and Jeff Koons. The volume’s photography includes editorial shots by the greatest image makers of this century and the previous, including Richard Avedon, Hiro, Francesco Scavullo, Guy Bourdin, David Bailey, William Klein, Corinne Day, and Juergen Teller.

The dialogue among fine art, photography, and fashion is explored in a brilliantly woven text that clarifies how each form has influenced the other. With its extraordinary art and insight, this book is a must for lovers of fashion as well as fine art and photography books.

Das Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Köln besitzt eine umfangreiche Sammlung mitteleuropäischer Möbel aus vier Jahrhunderten. Diese besticht durch eine weitgehend vollständige Dokumentation der wichtigsten Möbeltypen und der maßgebenden künstlerischen Formen. Auch die Veränderungen handwerklicher Fähigkeiten im Wandel der Zeit lassen sich an den Objekten nachvollziehen.

Gotische Truhen, Tische und Schränke stellen die frühesten Stücke dar. Einen Schwerpunkt bilden die Möbel der Renaissance, die durch ihre reichen Formen und perfektionierten Handwerkstechniken von den hohen Ansprüchen der Auftraggeber zeugen. Dem höfischen Zeremoniell der auf Paris ausgerichteten Barockfürsten entsprachen kunstvoll gestaltete und mit vergoldeten Bronzen verzierte Möbel. Der Wandel vom Rokoko zum Klassizismus wird durch Möbel aus der weithin bekannten Werkstatt von Abraham und David Roentgen deutlich. Ob die Gestaltung im 19. Jahrhundert historisierenden Tendenzen oder neuem Gedankengut folgte, ob sie eine Hinwendung an vergangene Epochen darstellt oder mit schlichten, werkgerechten Sitzmöbeln neue Wege geht, stets unterlag sie dem Einfluss ihrer Zeit. Die jüngsten Objekte stammen aus dem Jugendstil, der in seinen verschiedenen nationalen Ausprägungen belegt ist.

Dieser erste Bestandskatalog zeigt die Vielfalt der gesammelten Möbel; die lokale und zeitliche Einordnungen wird ausführlich begründet. Die Eingebundenheit in eine übergeordnete Geschichte verleiht den Möbeln über ihre Funktion als Gebrauchsgegenstand und ihren Wert als Kunstwerk hinaus den Rang eines Zeugnisses ihrer Zeit.

Fashion illustration fulfils several objectives for designers. At the very outset of the design process, it helps turn an idea – which until then only existed as a tangled web of possibilities in the designer’s mind – into something tangible. After this, once the design is on paper, the designer can use the drawing to refine the details of the garment and its production, bringing the original idea ever closer to its actual realization.

Menswear is one of the most creative and dynamic areas in fashion today. Changing attitudes, a relaxation of dress codes and larger disposable incomes have all led to men spending more money on looking good than ever before. Modern Menswear is defying convention and changing the fashion landscape. Creating this focus is a group of visionaries who have shifted the boundaries of menswear design, designers who have broken with tradition to visualize radical and directional clothing. They are not concerned with the formalities and traditions of menswear, but see their garments as an expression of contemporary thought. With a huge range of imagery, Modern Menswear showcases these fashion leaders, profiling big names and emerging talent from across the world. Designers featured include Marc Jacobs, Yoji Yamamoto, Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano, with an insight into their design processes and their contribution to the contemporary fashion aesthetic.
