The Worldwide History of Dress covers every notable geographical region, historical period and style of costume worldwide – from Upper Paleolithic plant-fibre skirts, Ancient Egyptian linen shifts and Roman togas, through Mongolian shamanic robes, Japanese kimonos and Indian saris, to nineteenth-century Tyrolean dirndls, African ceremonial attire and Middle Eastern burqas.

Оригінальна емблема NASA є одним із найпотужніших символів у світі. Сміливе, патріотичне червоне шевронне крило, що пронизує синю сферу, що символізує планету з білими зірками та космічний корабель на орбіті. Сьогодні ми знаємо її як «фрикадельку». Однак, з розвитком технологій 1970-х років, цей значок було важко відтворити, надрукувати, і багато людей вважали його складною метафорою в те, що тоді вважалося сучасною аерокосмічною ерою.

Представляємо чистіший, витонченіший дизайн, народжений у рамках Федеральної програми покращення дизайну та офіційно представлений у 1975 році. Він мав простий, червоний унікальний шрифт слова NASA. Світ знав його як «черв'як». Створений фірмою Danne & Blackburn, логотип був відзначений у 1984 році президентом Рейганом за його простий, але інноваційний дизайн. NASA змогла процвітати завдяки численним графічним дизайнам. Було місце як для «фрикадельки», так і для «черв'яка». Однак у 1992 році бренд 1970-х років був залишений поза увагою – за винятком одягу та інших сувенірів – на користь оригінальної графіки кінця 1950-х років.

До сьогодні «черв’як» повернувся якраз вчасно, щоб відзначити повернення пілотованих космічних польотів на американських ракетах з американської землі. Ретро-сучасний дизайн логотипу агентства допоможе передати хвилювання нової, сучасної ери пілотованих космічних польотів на борту ракети-носія Falcon 9, яка доставить астронавтів на Міжнародну космічну станцію в рамках польоту Demo-2, запланованого на травень 2020 року.

The Metropolitan’s holdings of late 17th- and 18th-century French decorative arts, unrivaled outside Europe, are on display in nine magnificent paneled period rooms and three galleries. This suite of spaces is named for Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, whose extraordinary generosity made the installations possible and who also donated many of the furnishings from their own celebrated collection. The first book on the Wrightsman Galleries since 1979, this beautifully illustrated volume presents detailed descriptions of the period rooms and 116 of the most important artworks on view, including wood paneling and furniture, chimneypieces and fireplace furnishings, textiles and leather, portraits, gilt bronze, porcelain, silver, and decorative boxes, many of which have a royal provenance. The text incorporates the results of recent research and conveys the illuminating comments of contemporaries as expressed in diaries, travel guides, craft manuals, and correspondence.

In den beiden großen Stilepochen Jugendstil und Art Déco war Theodor Fahrner in Pforzheim einer der innovativsten und interessantesten Schmuckhersteller in Europa. Als einer der ersten Fabrikanten Deutschlands schließt sich Theodor Fahrner Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts der Reformbewegung, dem Jugendstil, an und beauftragt Künstler mit modernen Schmuckentwürfen, so u.a. Franz Boeres, Rudolf Bossel, Max Gradl, Ludwig Habich, Patriz Huber, Georg Kleemann, Erich Kleinhempel, Joseph Maria Olbrich. Im ersten Jahrzehnt des 20. Jahrhunderts ist er führend mit seinem „Design-Schmuck“.

Nach dem Tode Fahrners, im Jahre 1919, übernimmt Gustav Braendle die Firma und führt sie unter dem eingeführten Markenzeichen „FAHRNER-SCHMUCK“ weiter. In den 1920er und 1930er Jahren entsteht extravaganter Schmuck im internationalen Stil des Art Déco. Entwerfer wie der aus Wien stammende Maler Anton Kling bestimmen mit ihren Kreationen nun den neuen geometrischen Stil des „Fahrner-Künstler-Schmucks“.

Das Standardwerk über den Pforzheimer Schmuckwaren-Fabrikant Theodor Fahrner ist wieder lieferbar! Über 600 Schmuckstücke von namhaften Entwerfern zeigen die schönsten Objekte aus Jugendstil und Art Déco. Als Sonderausgabe zum Sonderpreis.

A visual journey through four decades of Thierry Mugler’s unmistakable style and inexhaustible creativity.

Повноцінна книга про культового кутюр’є та революціонера моди Тьєррі Мюглера

З моменту створення свого бренду в 1974 році Thierry Mugler безперервно революціонізував сучасну моду своїм незвичайним, творчим баченням. Окрім створення свого культового одягу прет-а-порте та одягу високої моди, Мюглер живе в багатьох світах як фотограф, режисер, хореограф і парфумер.

Велика та багатоілюстрована 450 зображеннями ця книга є предметом розкоші, який підходить для світу високої моди Mugler. Розкішно оформлена книга розповідає про кар’єру Мюглера та розкриває небачені раніше матеріали таких фотографів, як Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon та David LaChapelle.

Ця книга супроводжує першу виставку про Mugler, яку підготував і відвідав Монреальський музей образотворчого мистецтва.

У 2000 році нью-йоркський графічний дизайнер Саґмейстер, що народився в Австрії, створив у своєму щоденнику однойменний список цієї книги, включно з двадцятьма висловлюваннями, такими як: «Спроба виглядати добре обмежує моє життя», «Припущення душить» і «Хвилювання нічого не вирішують». Ці «максими», які, за визнанням Саґмейстера, межують із «банальними», але також позбавлені цинізму, були трансформовані в мистецькі проекти: «Припускати душно» прикрасила обкладинку японського щорічного звіту; «Всі завжди думають, що вони праві» представляли шість 33-футових білих надувних мавп, кожна з яких показувала окреме слово. Ця «дизайнерська книга для недизайнерів» сама по собі є експериментом у формі, що складається з 15 буклетів у коробці, обкладинка якої вирізана з обличчя Загмайстера; при вставці кожен завершує портрет по-різному. Один із буклетів містить нариси про творчість Сагмейстера, найцікавіші від критика Хеллера, який стверджує: «Це справді зв’язок мистецтва та дизайну на службі вираження». Ця книга неодмінно зацікавить прихильників творчості Сагмайстера, а також широкого читача, який шукає підбадьорливого підходу до графічного дизайну та, можна сказати, автобіографії.

Про автора:

Штефан Загмайстер, народжений в Австрії, отримав ступінь магістра графічного дизайну в Університеті прикладних мистецтв у Відні та, як стипендіат Фулбрайта, ступінь магістра в Інституті Пратта в Нью-Йорку. Після роботи в M&Co. у Нью-Йорку з Тібором Калманом і як креативний директор гонконгського офісу рекламної агенції Leo Burnett, Sagmeister заснував нью-йоркську Sagmeister Inc. у 1993 році. Пітер Холл є дизайнерським критиком і педагогом, який багато писав про дизайн у виданнях, зокрема Metropolis, Print, I.D. Magazine, The New York Times і The Guardian. Раніше він працював старшим редактором Інституту дизайну Університету Міннесоти, написав кілька книг про дизайн і зараз викладає дизайн в Техаському університеті в Остіні.

Managers, we all know them. They make sure that things get done, that agreements are observed and that results are achieved.

Ten years ago they were seen as the ideal solution for many companies. These days, their very existence is being called into question. Why this separate role? After all, managing is something we all do.

Think Like a Manager, Don't Act Like One offers 75 successful approaches to help you foresee or manage unpredictable situations. Developed with the assistance of John F. Kennedy, Johan Cruijff, Casanova, talented management gurus, elusive laboratory molds, one oval table, one donkey, Barack Obama, and Johnny Cash. These 75 perspectives will add to your confusion; but also your understanding.

This collection of approaches may well irritate you from time to time, and possibly inspire you, but really it should make you think. It probably wouldn't be sensible to follow every one of them, but they might give you some fresh ideas. Because those who keep doing what they've always done achieve the results they've always achieved.

With his unique backstage access, Katz Sinding captures such top designers, supermodels, and stylists as Kris van Assche (Christian Dior), Lucas Ossendrijver (Lanvin) and Grace Coddington (Vogue), as well as contemporary fashion icons such as Virgil Abloh, Imaan Hammam, and Luka Sabbat.

About the author

American-born, Copenhagen-based photographer Adam Katz Sinding, also known as Le 21ème (Pronounced luh van-tay-uh-nee-em), has produced a comprehensive archive of fashion-related events around the world. In an effort to capture the zeitgeist of the contemporary fashion industry, Adam travels the world 300+ days a year documenting events in over 25 countries. Adam Katz Sinding has worked for classic brands like Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, and Christian Dior, as well as disruptive newcomers such as Gosha Rubchinskiy, Off-White, and Vetements. His work has been published worldwide in major fashion publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Elle, V Magazine, and many more.

At the heart of MENDO is the love of pure design. Before establishing the inspirational concept store and go-to flagship bookstore for style-conscious bibliophiles in Amsterdam in 2002, founders Roy Rietstap and Joost Albronda were accomplished graphic designers with an eye for innovation and entrepreneurship. Thus, a brilliant retail concept was created in the form of the MENDO of today. The collaboration of teNeues x MENDO is a synergy on many levels — a premier international publisher of illustrated books on culture combining with trendsetting designers with a great love for beautiful, aesthetically-minded books — housed in a one-of-a-kind global bookstore. If you look closely, you will see that the simple, elegant black walls are actually made of precise stacks of books — an idea that is typical Amsterdam!

Semiotics is the theory of signs, and reading signs is a part of everyday life: from road signs that point to a destination, to smoke that warns of fire, to the symbols buried within art and literature. Semiotic theory can, however, appear mysterious and impenetrable. This introductory book decodes that mystery using visual examples instead of abstract theory.

This new edition features an expanded introduction that carefully and clearly presents the world of semiotics before leading into the book's 76 sections of key semiotic concepts. Each short section begins with a single image or sign, accompanied by a question inviting us to interpret what we are seeing. Turning the page, we can compare our response with the theory behind the sign, and in this way, actively engage in creative thinking.

A fascinating read, this book provides practical examples of how meaning is made in contemporary culture.

Still just two decades into his career, British designer Thomas Heatherwick has been heralded as on of the most creative talents for many years. He has produced everything from sculptural chairs, forged by the world's largest aluminium extruder, to a bridge that rolls open and closed, and an exuberant seed bank, 'hairy' with fibre-optic lights.

This is the first book to present an exhaustive survey of his studio's output to date – over 140 projects. Long in development, it has been prepared in close collaboration with Heatherwick himself, offering a highly personal, in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at all aspects of Heatherwick's creative, design and manufacturing processes.

Projects are organise chronologically and bookended by an introduction setting out the studio's philosophy and a reference section. Each project is fully illustrated and accompanied by a text explaining, in Heatherwick's words, the design question it posed and the creative and practical processes used to address it.

About the Author:

Thomas Heatherwick leads the design of all Heatherwick Studio projects, working in collaboration with a team of 200 architects, designers and makers across four continents on projects valued at over £2 billion. He has been appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, a Royal Academician and in 2004 became the youngest Royal Designer for Industry.
