Founded as a boutique mail-order service in 1963, Biba - the brainchild of designer Barbara Hulanicki - quickly gained cult status, and outgrew several London premises before landing at 99 - 117 Kensington High Street in 1973 as 'Big Biba', 'the most beautiful store in the world'.

This book tells the story of the Biba years, from the first ensembles, through the four iconic London shops, to the eventual flourishing of a lifestyle brand that revolutionized British retail and fashion culture. Featuring a wealth of previously unpublished material, including early fashion illustrations by Hulanicki and full-colour facsimiles of the six luxurious Biba catalogues, The Biba Years investigates the innovative ethos of the company - the first retailer to bring affordable fashion to the young consumers of the 1960s and '70s.

Extensive garment photography documents the unique Biba 'look', while archival images provide a glimpse into the glamorous surrounds of the hugely popular London stores. An ideal companion to A to Biba: The Autobiography of Barbara Hulanicki (V&A, 2007), this beautiful book incorporates many personal insights from the designer and her contemporaries at Biba, and includes new illustrations by Hulanicki created specially for the publication. The Biba Years provides the last word on a fashion phenomenon, whose extensive impact on the fashion industry can still be felt today.

About the Authors:

Barbara Hulanicki OBE, co-founder of Biba, is a photographer, illustrator and designer whose career in fashion has spanned five decades. She holds honorary doctorates from the Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, and the University of Brighton, and her Outstanding Contribution to Fashion was honoured at the 2011 Global Fashion Awards. Martin Pel studied art history at the University of Manchester and the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. He is Curator of Costume & Textiles at Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove, where he curated Biba and Beyond: Barbara Hulanicki (2012).

The Birds of America Джона Джеймса Одубона — одна з найвідоміших і найцінніших книг з природознавства, які будь-коли видавалися. Оригінальне видання Double Elephant Folio містить 435 розфарбованих вручну відбитків гравюр, зроблених з оригінальних картин Одюбона. Окрім найвищої художньої якості, ілюстрації Одубона були винятковими ще й тим, що вони зображували птахів у натуральну величину в природних положеннях і в їхніх рідних місцях існування.

Це видання було створено шляхом роз’єднання одного з двох оригінальних комплектів, що зберігаються в Музеї природної історії в Лондоні, і його фотографування за допомогою новітніх цифрових технологій. Він містить усі 435 зображень птахів Одюбона, відтворених якомога більшими на сторінці та з точно відтвореною оригінальною нумерацією та підписами.

Кульмінація понад дванадцяти років роботи, шедевр Одубона містить деякі з найприголомшливіших картин птахів усіх часів, від великої мухоловки та качки з шипами до звичайного американського лебедя. Одна з найцінніших книжок з природознавства, коли-небудь опублікованих, вона показує птахів у природних місцях і в їхньому рідному середовищі існування.

Є вступ всесвітньо відомого художника та автора птахів Девіда Аллена Сіблі, чий «Путівник по птахах Сіблі», на думку багатьох, є найповнішим довідником для ідентифікації птахів у Північній Америці.

Про автора:

Джон Джеймс Одубон був натуралістом і художником і вважається одним із найвидатніших художників птахів усіх часів. Народився на Гаїті в 1785 році, він провів більшу частину свого життя, подорожуючи Північною Америкою, спостерігаючи, ловлячи та малюючи птахів і тварин із надзвичайною деталізацією. Використовуючи різноманітні матеріали для створення дуже драматичного стилю, він намалював майже 500 видів із приблизно 700 видів птахів Північної Америки, які регулярно зустрічаються. Він також малював інших тварин, але найбільш відомий він своїми ілюстраціями птахів у натуральну величину.

From fine art to street style, the aesthetics and motifs of the gothic are entwined with the heart of today’s alternative visual culture.

Vampires and demons have become screen icons of the modern underworld. Skulls, crosses and religious iconography represent symbols of rebellion for a new gothic generation, a shorthand for an allegiance with a modern day underworld where monsters and misfits rule the world. Structured over three defining chapters (Gods & Monsters, The Kingdom of Darkness and Dark Arts/Higher Power), The Book of Black provides an exploratory visual narrative through which to reveal and celebrate the artists, aesthetics and styles of today’s gothic visual arts, presenting seminal gothic artworks alongside emerging artists of today.

The skull is one of the most recognizable symbols of today’s contemporary visual culture. Adorning T-Shirts, badges and rock memorabilia as the ultimate symbol of anarchy and rebellion, the image of the skull has found its way into the vocabulary of urban life.

In response to this cultural phenomenon, The Book of Skulls presents a cool visual guide to the skull, charting its rebirth through music and street fashion to become today’s ultimate anti-establishment icon. From the Grateful Dead to skater punk graffiti, from haute-couture to Damien Hirst, this book is the ultimate collection of iconic and unusual skull motifs.

Packaged in an amazing 'skeleton' binding and drawing together artwork from music, fashion, street art and graphic design, The Book of Skulls is a celebration of one of today’s most iconic cultural symbols.

Boston, 1926. Francis Thurston goes through documents left behind by his grandfather’s brother, recently deceased under mysterious circumstances. He soon discovers the existence of a cult that worships ancient and unspeakable horrors. Mysterious murders, blood rituals in the depths of the Louisiana swamps, artists who descend into insanity after nightmarish visions, and a Cyclopean city that rises from the sea. Step by step, Thurston realizes that his relative’s research got too close to the truth. In the shadows, there are those who want to wake the sleeping god Cthulhu in order to spread madness and destruction over the entire world. The stars are right. Is the end near?

H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu, first published in 1928, is one of the greatest classics of American horror literature. Cthulhu himself, dreaming and waiting at the bottom of the sea, became a symbol for the entire mythology that Lovecraft created. François Baranger, an illustrator who has previously worked in film and games, was fascinated early on by Lovecraft’s creatures and visions which populated the darkest recesses of fantasy. In this book, he has taken on the work of illustrating Lovecraft’s most iconic novel.

John Peacock’s meticulous drawings are organized in chronological sections and accompanied by detailed descriptions of each figure, including the individual items of costume shown and the many types of fabric, cut, pattern and colour that have been used over the centuries. An illustrated glossary gives additional information on technical terms.

The Chronicle of Western Costume is the unrivalled reference work on its subject. No student or designer in the performing arts, costume and fashion enthusiast, collector or social historian will want to be without it.

About the Author:

The writer receives guidance and tips at every stage of the often intimidating writing process with a relaxed, “ten minutes at a time” method that focuses the writer and pushes him or her forward. At each step, writers are encouraged to “Take Ten” and tackle an element of their script using the templates and tools provided. “What You’ve Accomplished” sections help writers review their progress. And “Ten-Minute Lectures” distill and demystify old school theory, allowing the writer to unblock and get writing.
