Шарф Hermès – ікона стилю. Цей оманливо простий шовковий квадрат, який носять члени королівської сім’ї та знаменитості, яким захоплювалися та яким захоплювалися, а тепер жадібно збирав, — це набагато більше, ніж просто модний аксесуар: це легенда.

З моменту появи першого шарфа в 1937 році Будинок Hermès випустив понад дві тисячі різних моделей. Ця книга досліджує цю розкішну історію через розкішний вибір шарфів, вибраних на основі семи десятиліть творчих інновацій. Від класичних дизайнів, які втілюють традиції Hermès, до дико вигадливих стилів сучасних дизайнерів, Будинок завжди прокладає нові шляхи, але ніколи не боїться використовувати свіжий і часто дотепний підхід до власної спадщини.

Шарф ніколи не є роботою однієї людини; на кожному етапі його створення талант і майстерність поєднуються, щоб створити оброблений вручну витвір мистецтва. Ці якості яскраво проявляються в розкішних ілюстраціях, по черзі грайливих і поетичних, які ведуть читача в яскравий світ, наповнений безліччю мотивів. вони варіюються від тем кінного спорту, які на міжнародному рівні асоціюються з брендом Hermès, через історію Франції та природний світ до глобальних культур.

Від яскравої розкоші до витонченої гармонії кожен шарф передає настрій і кожен розповідає історію. Тепер ці історії зібрані в книзі, яка порадує давніх шанувальників і завоює безліч нових шанувальників цього символу позачасової елегантності.

From the author of The Newlywed Table (70,000 copies in print), The Hostess Handbook offers readers 100 easy entertaining recipes, party planning advice, and curated menus to pull off the most delicious and delightful of gatherings, from an epic holiday bash to a casual get-together in the backyard, or an inspired dinner party.

What's the secret to every good party? Is it the tasty but not overly fussy food? The warmth of a good host who doesn't disappear into the kitchen halfway through the night? The beautiful tablespace or the eclectic mix of glassware? It's all of the above, and now, you don't have to sweat it because The Hostess Handbook shows how to master the art of entertaining.

Author Maria Zizka starts with the first rule of party planning (being, there are no rules!), then walks readers through some options and considerations to host guests comfortably-from serving supplies to decorating tips and strategies. The array of recipes includes snacks, sides, and salads so good they could be the whole meal, like Chicken Wings with Apricot-Honey-Chile Sauce and Toothpick Gnocchi with Oregano Breadcrumbs. Mains can be made ahead (Brisket and Harissa Buttered Carrots) and will have guests coming back for more (Potato Chip-Crust Chicken with Green Olive Relish). Plus, there are fabulous desserts fit for any type of celebration (from Gingersnap and Lemon Ice Cream Sandwiches to a Pavlova with Chamomile Cream and Citrus). Batch cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks-a Negroni Pitcher, a Sparkling Strawberry-Rhubarb Elixir-make bartending easy.

Throughout, Zizka offers expert advice to coach readers through the party-planning process, from setting the table to cleaning up the inevitable red wine spill. As a bonus, fourteen curated menus-including a pack and go picnic, a Sunday supper for the family, or a promotion party feast- take the worry of meal planning off your plate, making it even easier to get together with loved ones. After all, isn't that the whole point?

The first illustrated monograph dedicated to the history of the House of Worth, the world’s first haute couture house

Arriving in Paris in 1845, at the age of twenty and with only a few francs in his pocket, Charles Frederick Worth would go on to build the most prominent, innovative and successful fashion house of the century. Worth was inspired by a love of fine art, luxurious fabrics and his vision of the female ideal. He was the first to set out to dictate new styles and silhouettes to his elite clientele – not the other way around – hosting them in his rue de la Paix salons, which included ground-breaking ‘sportswear’ and ‘maternity’ departments, as well as silk, velvet and brocade rooms, and a special salon with closed shutters and gas lighting designed to allow clients to try on ball gowns in lighting conditions precisely matched to those of the event.

Organized chronologically and illustrated with striking ensembles (including photographs of details that reveal the garments’ intricate construction and craftsmanship), paintings and documents sourced from both private family archives and the best fashion collections from museums around the world, The House of Worth is an inspiring tribute to the house that started it all.
