The first and only book to showcase a complete sartorial history of the Oscars' red carpet

The red carpet is so much more than fabulous gowns on famous people. It reflects the styles and values of the time, and has become a platform for often trenchant social statements. Red Carpet: Oscars presents over ninety years of fashion worn at the awards ceremony since its inception in 1929. From ready-to-wear to haute couture, it charts what stars and invitees wore across the decades, as well as the emergence of stylists, the commercialization of the red carpet and how fashion has shaped Hollywood.

The book opens with a foreword by Cate Blanchett and an introduction by Giorgio Armani, and then goes on to showcase hundreds of looks across almost a century. Each year is introduced with a short text explaining the era's fashion trends as well as the social and political influences of the day, along with carefully curated images of the most iconic and inspiring outfits.

Floral Masterpieces. The finest treasures of Pierre-Joseph Redouté

French flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840) devoted himself exclusively to capturing the diversity of flowering plants in watercolor paintings which were then published as copper engravings, with careful botanical descriptions. The darling of wealthy Parisian patrons including Napoleon’s wife Josephine, he was dubbed “the Raphael of flowers,” and is regarded to this day as a master of botanical illustration.

This elegant catalogue brings together all engravings from Redouté’s illustrations of Roses and Choix des plus belles fleurs (Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers) and the most astounding images from The Lilies. Offering a vibrant overview of Redouté’s admixture of accuracy and beauty, it is also a privileged glimpse into the magnificent gardens and greenhouses of a bygone Paris.

Відвертий погляд на впливового та загадкового дизайнера, який стоїть за Comme des Garçons

Великий пантеон модельєрів породжує лише кількох творців, які є майстрами своєї справи. Рей Кавакубо з Comme des Garçons — одна з них. Широко визнана серед своїх сучасників як найважливіший та найвпливовіший дизайнер останніх сорока років, вона з моменту свого паризького дебюту в 1981 році визначила та трансформувала естетику нашого часу. Це щедро ілюстроване видання досліджує захоплення Кавакубо інтерстиціальністю, або простором між кордонами. Існуючи всередині та між дуальностями — чи то я/інший, об'єкт/суб'єкт, мистецтво/мода — роботи Кавакубо кидають виклик жорстким розмежуванням, які стали визначати усталені уявлення про ідентичність та модність, запрошуючи нас переосмислити моду як місце постійного творення, відтворення та, зрештою, гібридності. Завдяки блискучим новим фотографіям та текстам Ендрю Болтона, що спонукають до роздумів, ця книга виражає концептуальну та складну естетику цього дизайнера-візіонера. Змістовне інтерв'ю та ілюстрована хронологія кар'єри Кавакубо надають додатковий контекст.

«Мене завжди цікавив лише одяг, якого ніколи раніше не бачили, який є абсолютно новим, і те, як його можна виразити. Чи називається це модою? Я не знаю відповіді». — Рей Кавакубо

Рей Кавакубо з Comme des Garçons широко визнана однією з найважливіших і найвпливовіших дизайнерок останніх 40 років. З моменту свого паризького дебюту в 1981 році вона розмила межу між мистецтвом і модою та змінила звичні уявлення про красу, ідентичність і тіло.

Це щедро ілюстроване видання вплітає цікаву розповідь навколо експериментів Кавакубо з протиставленнями та просторами між кордонами. Блискучі нові фотографії понад 120 прикладів жіночого одягу Кавакубо для Comme des Garçons, що супроводжуються коментарями Кавакубо щодо її дизайну та процесу, розкривають її концептуальну та складну естетику, як ніколи раніше. Хронологія кар'єри Кавакубо надає додатковий контекст, а прониклива розмова з автором пропонує захопливий погляд на розум цієї модної візіонерки.

There are some design projects that will never see the light, staying in the drawer and failed to be released. In this book, we wanted to pick up this collection of works bringing them to life, under no limits or conditions, designs that have never been produced, published or printed in any graphic discipline – corporate image, packaging, advertising, and computer graphics.

Remake, recycle, refresh: save money, save the planet, stay stylish!

In this new age of austerity, let Remake It: Clothes be your style bible.
The second volume in the ‘Remake It’ series, this is the indispensable, inspirational and practical guide to resourceful fashion.

An encyclopedia of life skills, smart ideas and great design, step-by-steps and tips=and-tricks can be found alongside innovative examples from celebrated international designers such as Martin Margiela, Christian Louboutin, Rachel Freire and Freitag.

The lofty painted ceilings of Europe's palaces and churches rank among the greatest treasures of the Renaissance and Baroque eras. This unique assemblage features brilliant full-color reproductions of some of the finest examples of such art. Drawn from two rare French and German portfolios of the nineteenth century, this unique volume re-creates more than 60 magnificent ceilings from Parisian drawing rooms, German castles, and Italian galleries.

Richly depicting scenes from nature and mythology, this collection abounds in chubby cherubs, ethereal goddesses, heroes in full battle armor, and all manner of animals, both legendary and realistic. In addition, a generous assortment of floral ornaments includes rosettes, garlands, and clusters of acanthus and other decorative leaves and vines. Whether used in their entirety or as individual motifs, these designs will add beauty and sophistication to any art or craft project.

Данная книга приглашает вас перенестись в переломный период нашего культурного наследия. Эта эпоха сформировала наше коллективное сознание, и ее влияние мы ощущаем и по сей день - ее называют эпохой Возрождения - Ренессанса.

Именно в этот период на свет появился "современный человек", "современный" в новом эмпирическом и научном осознании себя как личности, "современный" в постепенном отходе от средневековых понятий о реальности.

Эта коллекция декоративных орнаментов характерна для духа Ренессанса, в эпоху которого проявилось превосходство орнаментального дизайна. Многие из этих орнаментов были внесены в краткие руководства, которые использовали художники в своей работе. В этих сборниках присутствовали лиственные орнаменты, плетеные орнаменты, перемежающиеся геометрическими линиями, и стилизованные растительные формы; арабески, которые пошли от арабских орнаментов, распространившихся в 15-м веке из Венеции по всей Европе; другие рисунки, используемые для создания скульптур, ювелирных украшений и мебели, украшались необычными существами, напоминающими людей и животных одновременно.

Аналогичные узоры использовались в таких разнообразных областях, как архитектура, живопись, кружевоплетение и текстиль.

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.

With the Renaissance in the 15th and 16th centuries came a revival of interest in the classical arts of Ancient Greece and Rome. Although the sculpture and architectural ornamentation during the Renaissance tended to be complex, two-dimensional patterns were often more subdued.

The worlds largest collection of jewellery, art objects, artistic glass and drawings by Rene Lalique. Calouste Gulbenkian (1869-1955), the famous Portuguese collector, was a friend of Rene Lalique for 50 years and a great connoisseur of the various activities of this versatile artist. Between 1899 and 1927 Calouste Gulbenkian acquired 80 extraordinary works of art directly from the artist; these are conserved today in an exclusive space inside the Calouste Gulbenkian museum in Lisbon.
