A visual feast of 400 dazzling images, this is a comprehensive survey of the genre over the last century

The book also offers an overview of the development of fashion, as seen through the eyes of the greatest illustrators of the day. Early in the century, fashion illustration reflected new, liberating currents in art and culture, such as the exoticism of the Ballets Russes, while the postwar period saw inspiration from the great Parisian couturiers. After the dominance of the celebrity fashion photographer in the 60s, a new generation of illustrators emerged, embracing the medium of the computer, while many returned to more traditional techniques.

1000 Vases проливає світло на унікальні твори, створені незалежними дизайнерами з понад 35 країн

Ваза ніколи не є просто контейнером. Як одного разу сказав Жорж Брак, «ваза надає форму порожнечі»: з часів найдавніших людських цивілізацій цей об’єкт мав мету, яка була вищою за його функцію, і він постійно шукав експериментів у формі та вираженні.

1000 ваз, представлених у цій книзі, є промовистим доказом цього. Вони походять із 35 різних країн, і більше 80% створено жінками або незалежними дизайнерами та митцями, які народилися між 1988 і 1993 роками, кожній із яких було запропоновано створити вільну інтерпретацію того самого архетипу, що призвело до нескінченного спектру творчості, натхненного багатьма можливими версіями одного предмета. Виготовлені з величезного асортименту матеріалів (кераміка, теракота, порцеляна, метал, дерево, скло, а також натуральні волокна, промислові відходи та перероблений пластик), з використанням як старовинних, так і ультрасучасних технологій (3D-друк) і належать до різних категорій (від амфори до глека, глечика до графина), майже всі сидять на межі, яка одночасно об’єднує та розділяє мистецтво, дизайн і майстерність.

High jewellery has entered the 21st century with a spring in its step. Design has been as diverse as it has been innovative. The technical advances of the ’90s and the new materials being used by this exuberant group of independent jewellers have helped pave the way to breaking down preconceived ideas of high jewellery. Some enjoy the adventure of finding the rarest of gemstones that speak to them, others seek to tell a tale or relay a secret message to the wearer and thus the onlooker. They are artists, engineers and adventurers; and, above all, they are passionate about their world, using only the best workmanship wherever it is to be found.

From the great JAR, to James de Givenchy and Nicholas Varney in the West, and Michelle Ong, Wallace Chan and Bhagat in the East, 21st-Century Jewellery Designers: An Inspired Style is an exploration into the designers’ worlds. Interviews reveal the designers’ inspirations and passions, their signature materials, designing processes, and how their personalities influence their designs.

Designers featured: JAR (France); Kaoru Kay Akihara / Gimel (Japan); Walid Akkad (France/Lebanon); Lorenz Bäumer (France); Bhagat (India); Sevan Biçakçi (Turkey); Luz Camino (Spain); Wallace Chan (China); Edmond Chin / Etcetera (China); Lydia Courteille (France); Michele della Valle (Italy/Switzerland); Patrice Fabre (France); James de Givenchy / Taffin (USA); Vicente Gracia (Spain); Hemmerle (Germany); Anna Hu (USA/Taiwan); Michelle Ong / Carnet (China); Suzanne Syz (Switzerland); Nicholas Varney (USA); Stephen Webster (UK); Dickson Yewn / Yewn Heritage (China).
