A striking tribute to Alexander McQueen’s stunning collections, revealing photographs that were, until now, one of fashion’s best-kept secrets

Alexander McQueen has grasped the public's imagination like few other fashion designers before him, with exhibitions dedicated to his work continuing to attract record visitor numbers.

Almost 500,000 people visited the V&A's 2015 Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition, making it the most popular in the museum s history. Opening with a brief essay on the designer's work, Alexander McQueen: Unseen unfolds chronologically.

Each collection is introduced by a concise text by Claire Wilcox, one of the foremost experts on the McQueen's work, revisiting the designer's most iconic creations across his entire career and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments that capture models, hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and Alexander McQueen himself at their most candid and creative.

Robert Fairer's stunning and high-energy photographs, all previously unpublished, capture the glamour, grit and spirit that made McQueen's flamboyant shows unique. A treasure-trove of inspiration, they make this publication a must-have reference for fashion and photography lovers alike.

A global exploration of the many writing systems that are on the verge of vanishing, and the stories and cultures they carry with them.

If something is important, we write it down. Yet 85% of the world's writing systems are on the verge of vanishing - not granted official status, not taught in schools, discouraged and dismissed.

When a culture is forced to abandon its traditional script, everything it has written for hundreds of years - sacred texts, poems, personal correspondence, legal documents, the collective experience, wisdom and identity of a people - is lost.

This Atlas is about those writing systems, and the people who are trying to save them. From the ancient holy alphabets of the Middle East, now used only by tiny sects, to newly created African alphabets designed to keep cultural traditions alive in the twenty-first century: from a Sudanese script based on the ownership marks traditionally branded into camels, to a secret system used in one corner of China exclusively by women to record the songs and stories of their inner selves: this unique book profiles dozens of scripts and the cultures they encapsulate, offering glimpses of worlds unknown to us - and ways of saving them from vanishing entirely.

About the Author:

Tim Brookes is universally regarded as the pioneer and authority in the field of script loss and revitalization on a global scale. Tim's hand-carvings of endangered scripts have been exhibited at over 150 leading universities, galleries and libraries. He is a frequent speaker on the importance of minority scripts at institutions including the Bodleian Library, the Smithsonian Institute and the Library of Congress.

Join two of the world’s most celebrated designers, Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, as they share the inspirations and stories behind their life and work in London, the English countryside, and beyond

Entertaining in town and country is an essential part of the life and work of design gurus Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen — as revealed in this personal and sumptuously illustrated book. Inviting us to share in a typical week, Moschino and Vergeylen guide us through their West Sussex and London homes in a lively exploration of design, lifestyle, and inspiration, alongside a look at some recent client projects — from a Balinese-style compound in the Caribbean to a palatial villa in Sicily. 

Featuring guest rooms, an office, and formal gardens, the duo’s home in West Sussex is more than simply a weekend escape. It is the perfect space for a combined lifestyle of relaxing, entertaining, and working. The London apartment, too, is witness to many a stylish dinner for clients and friends, characterized by an infectious delight in ever-changing table-settings. A selection of recipes is included to accompany entertaining-related stories. 

With imagery from some of the design world’s best photographers, this beguiling volume invites you to enjoy an intimate experience of beauty, adventure, and the unexpected.

Style icon India Hicks's charming take on entertaining, featuring dreamy tablescapes, found centerpieces, and enjoyable family anecdotes.

Daughter of the late David Hicks and goddaughter to Prince Charles, India Hicks is known for her irreverent take on style. In her previous books, she invited readers into her homes on Harbour Island and in England. For her third book, India presents her own slightly madcap spin on entertaining. Organized by meal, the book begins marvelously with the most important meal of the day -- cocktail hour -- and ends with breakfast. In between, there are family suppers and big dinners, birthday cakes and Christmas crackers, great British breakfasts, quick teas and long lunches, mustard pots as vases, and bedcovers for tablecloths. Like India, these stories are full of personality, from the Panic Dinner (or what to do when you suddenly have a crowd descending) to the Naked Cake (cake decorating for the harried or untalented) to a White Christmas in the Bahamas.

Each celebration includes clever advice and inspiration for place settings, homemade flower arrangements, table design, and more. These are parties that make use of what is on hand, whether it's beach towels thrown down a long table, children's candy piled in cups on a tray, or massing palm fronds collected from the lawn. Beautifully photographed and embellished here and there with a bit of Hicks family lore, the book is rounded out with a sprinkling of recipes from India's beloved cook, Claire Williams, fondly known as Top Banana, and other family members, from traditional English fare such as Victoria Sponge to tropical treats such as the Marquess's Banana Daiquiri.

About the Authors:

Author, model, entrepreneur, TV personality, and daughter of famed designer David Hicks, India Hicks comes from both British and design royalty. Her godfather is the Prince of Wales, and India was a bridesmaid at his wedding to Lady Diana.

У цій приголомшливій книзі одна з провідних світових азіатських торговців мистецтвом розповідає про свій проект із захопленням — колекціонування французької високої моди двадцятого століття та розповідання історій жінок, які їх носили.

An Eye for Couture представляє та досліджує колекцію високої моди та моди 20-го століття Франчески Геллоуей, яка створювалася протягом тридцяти п’яти років. Книга включає видатну групу з понад 100 творів, у яких зосереджено роботи кутюр’є, які формували моду та чиї твори втілювали дух часу свого часу. Серед представлених у цій книзі Поль Пуаре, Gabrielle Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Christian Dior і Пако Рабанн.

Цей одяг та аксесуари оживають завдяки жінкам, які їх носили. Деніз Пуаре — муза, співавтор і модель Пола — є темою спеціально замовленого есе. Так само й принцеса Нілуфер Хайдарабадська, відома як одна з найкрасивіших жінок у світі. Її сфотографував Горст П. Хорст для Vogue у 1939 році та використав свій статус для кампанії за права жінок. У книзі також розглядаються 1960-ті роки як період, коли такі дизайнери, як Пако Рабан та Yves Saint Laurent, формували ідеї майбутнього, а також вплив східного дизайну на високу моду.

Один із провідних у світі торговців азіатським мистецтвом індійського живопису, придворного мистецтва та азіатського текстилю, Франческа Геллоуей курувала багато виставок і випустила численні публікації на ці теми з 1980-х років. Завдяки кураторській перспективі та погляду на новаторів дизайну та революціонерів, цінуючи найвищий артистизм і чутливість до впливу східного дизайну на високу моду, вона зібрала колекцію, що охоплює понад сотню предметів. Вражаючі образи книги є результатом співпраці між фешн-фотографом, художником-декоратором і реставратором костюмів. Зображення розташовані між високою модою та натюрмортом, щоб оживити ці фрагменти історії моди.

Anatomica discusses how for centuries, humankind has sought to know itself through an understanding of the body, in sickness and in health, inside and out. This fascination left in its wake a rich body of artworks that demonstrate not only the facts of the human body, but also the ways in which our ideas about the body and its proper representation have changed over time. At times both beautiful and repulsive, illustrated anatomy continues to hold our interest today, and is frequently referenced in popular culture. Anatomica brings together some of the most striking, fascinating and bizarre artworks from the 16^th through to the 20th century, exploring human anatomy in one beautiful volume.
