Through photographs of both iconic and individual styles, this book decodes celebrity fashion secrets and demonstrates how to effortlessly reproduce the showstopping looks.

What are Kate Moss’ sartorial obsessions? How does Gigi Hadid create fashion buzz? Which tricks does Gwyneth Paltrow use to stay on top of new trends? What defines Kate Middleton’s “princess” style? From her years as a fashion journalist for Elle and her front row seat at the runway shows, Sophie Gachet ― a true fashion guru ― has all the answers. Here, she breaks down celebrity looks and fashion trends into their essential elements, making them accessible to everyone.

One hundred twenty celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Cate Blanchett, Millie Bobby Brown, Priyanka Chopra, Billie Eilish, Kaia Gerber, Ashley Graham, Kendall Jenner, Meghan Markle, Lupita Nyong’o, Olivia Palermo, Rihanna, Margot Robbie, and Zendaya provide wardrobe inspiration. Their singular outfits that range from chic to cool, sporty to quirky, and urban to classic are unpacked and dissected piece by piece. Iconic looks that have forged fashion history, such as Madonna’s biker jacket, Marilyn Monroe’s turtleneck, Audrey Hepburn’s LBD, or Jennifer Lopez’s plunging Versace dress take center stage.

This generously illustrated book, written in the author’s witty and incisive voice, is a must-have reference and indispensable style bible.

L’auteur, professeur de marqueterie à l’école Boulle et docteur en histoire de l’art, nous décrit la vie et l’œuvre de cet ébéniste d’exception avec le regard combiné d’un artisan et d’un historien.

André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) était déjà à 30 ans considéré comme « le plus habile ébéniste de Paris » (Colbert). Il fut le seul artisan de sa génération à réunir plusieurs savoir-faire qui tous participaient à la beauté des objets qu’il fabriquait. Son nom est en effet associé à ses talents de marqueteur, lui qui avait développé l’art de recouvrir les meubles d’écaille de tortue et de métal (laiton, étain ou cuivre), procédé qui prit le nom de marqueterie Boulle. Il était également un virtuose de la « peinture en bois », une technique associant diverses essences pour former bouquets, rinceaux, guirlandes et arabesques. Il fut aussi dessinateur, tabletier, menuisier et il maîtrisait l’art du bronze : il dirigea finalement son propre atelier de fabrication des bronzes où il sculptait parfois ses modèles et pratiquait la ciselure et la dorure.

Il nous laissa des meubles magnifiques, mais aussi de plus petits objets : écritoires, consoles, horloges, coffrets et de nombreux dessins manuscrits ou gravés que l’auteur se fait un plaisir de présenter à travers de nombreuses photographies et de commenter en précisant leur histoire, les techniques utilisées, les essences et matières mises en oeuvre. À l’occasion il les accompagne de leur relevé, et pour mieux rendre compte des nombreux détails, certains dessins de grandes dimensions sont présentés sur des planches dépliantes.

Le livre commence par un rappel des techniques de marqueterie utilisées par Boulle : le dessin, les matériaux, le découpage et ses outils, la partie et la contre-partie, la marqueterie de bois (ou peinture en bois), la gravure. Il raconte ensuite la vie de l’ébéniste, précise son contexte historique dans le Paris des artisans au XVIIe siècle, sa famille avec Jean Bolt, son père déjà menuisier en ébène, sa jeunesse, sa rapide ascension dans l’artisanat jusqu’à être logé pendant 60 ans au Louvre par le roi qui l’a ainsi placé au-dessus des règlements corporatifs. L’auteur nous rappelle que l’homme était aussi un fou de peinture et collectionneur passionné, ce qui le faisait toujours vivre avec des créanciers à sa porte et le fera même tâter de la prison pour dettes.
Le texte est émaillé de nombreuses photographies accompagnées de descriptions d’ouvrages de Boulle sans oublier ceux de certains ébénistes contemporains qui l’ont influencé ou au contraire suivi, et de certains meubles plus tardifs qui montrent des panneaux de marqueterie du Maître réemployés par d’autres. Le livre se termine par un reportage dans un atelier parisien qui a récemment effectué dans les règles de l’art la copie d’une armoire de Boulle.

Pierre Ramond est également l’auteur de plusieurs livres de référence : La Marqueterie et les trois tomes des Chefs d’œuvre des marqueteurs, également aux éditions Vial.

Батько сучасного ювелірного мистецтва, золотий інженер, король Bling… Це лише деякі з епітетів, присвоєних Ендрю Грімі, британському генію, який йшов в авангарді лондонського руху 1960-х років, який створив новий словниковий запас для дизайну ювелірних виробів.

Ювелір для королівської сім’ї та джет-сету, для творців правил і смаків, Гріма був почесною знаменитістю, яка з’являлася на ток-шоу, у кінохроніці Pathé та в рекламі Canada Dry. Він отримав премію королеви за експорт, премію герцога Единбурзького за елегантний дизайн і рекордні 11 нагород De Beers Diamonds International Awards («Оскар» у світі ювелірних виробів).

Ця книга висвітлює кар’єру людини, яка брала участь у золотому віці британської творчості. Він містить приголомшливу низку небачених раніше ескізів, дизайнів і фотографій з архівів Grima, а також чудову передмову від старейшини ювелірних експертів, телезірки Джеффрі Манна. Видання, яке варто придбати як для любителів мистецтва, так і для любителів коштовностей.

"З тих пір, як я відкрив для себе роботи Ендрю Гріми, я не тільки став колекціонером його вишуканих творінь, я також став одним із багатьох, кого надихнули його унікальні та неповторні проекти. Кожна ювелірна прикраса, кожен годинник, кожен предмет є скульптурою". – Марк Джейкобс

«Його робота, його стиль цілком впізнавані, вони унікальні». – Джеймс Таффін де Живанші

- Перша велика монографія про Ендрю Гріму, мабуть, найвидатнішого майстра ювелірної справи Великобританії.
- Блискуча ретроспектива, яка охоплює життя, кар'єру та спадщину Ендрю Гріми
- Деталізовані малюнки демонструють бездоганне мистецтво Гріми як дизайнера-модерніста
- Передмова телевізійної знаменитості та експерта Antiques Roadshow Джеффрі Манна

Recognized as one of the most innovative designers in contemporary fashion, Tokyo-based Anrealage is the brainchild of Kunihiko Morinaga. Born in 1980, Morinaga launched the brand in 2003, began showing in Tokyo in 2006 and Paris in 2014, and would later be the recipient of the Mainichi Grand Prize for design — Japan’s top fashion prize previously conferred to Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto.

Cerebral and tech-savvy, the Anrealage approach to design is forever putting high-concept theory into practice. Known principally for introducing photochromatic textiles into dresses that react and change colors in response to varying degrees of light, he has also received acclaim for juxtaposing contrasting textures with deconstructed elements to create unique silhouettes. A master of provocation, Morinaga has always been preoccupied byintegrating humanity with rapidly evolving technologies and is actually wary of modern society’s excesses. Bemoaning the smartphone’s impact on real-world, person-to-person interaction, one of his most recent shows featured fabrics that repelled cellular signals. Anrealage has rightly won itself a devoted fashion following not only in Japan, but overseas as well, with recent insurgent collaborations with brands suchas Fendi, augmenting its growing influence with a firm grasp on how the street informs high fashion. Anrealage: A&Zis conceived as a celebration, approximating with printing effects (including augmented reality) some of the mystery and detailing associated with brand. The visual narrative itself provides an instructive look at the process of design from Morinaga’s own point of view — illustrating that he is at once comfortable with developing technologies and respectful of traditional approaches 

About the Author:

Born in 1980, Kunihiko Morinaga is the designer of Anrealage. He is the recipient of Japan’s top fashion award, the Mainichi Grand Prize, and was shortlisted for the 2019 LVMH Prize.

Cutting-edge graphic work from the Arab world and Iran that is emblematic of the cultural emancipation of this entire area.

The wave of protests that started this year in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and other countries have made it clear just how much the Middle East is searching for a new identity. Young designers in the region are playing a part in this movement by increasingly emancipating themselves creatively. In their work, they are charting their own compelling course between local visual convention and a modern international style.

Arabesque 2 documents the potential of this current creative emancipation in the Arab world and Iran. The book features examples of recent innovative and groundbreaking design work that is inspired by the richness of the region’s visual culture.

Given the important role of calligraphy in the Middle East, Arabesque 2 focuses on typography. The book presents a wide range of Arabic fonts and typefaces inspired by traditional calligraphy. These are accompanied by a rich selection of applications. Select examples of design and graffiti serve as powerful demonstrations of how text can be used illustratively. This work is particularly relevant to those creating street art and poster design.

Arabesque 2 also features graphic design, logos, editorial design, and illustration by young designers and activists from Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates. Regardless of the location and nationality of their creators, all of the examples included in the book combine modern design with the traditional, letter-based canon of Arab forms in striking ways.  

The book’s preface is written by John Martin, co-founder of Art Dubai. Additional texts and interviews describe the environments in which the featured designers and artists work. Editors Ben Wittner and Sascha Thoma round out Arabesque 2 with a CD-ROM that features four typefaces related to its themes.

This volume throws light upon an art expression to be found clad in the garments of Moroccan architecture. This work provides keys to the understanding of geometrical arabesques. This art of a rare and precious mastery was elaborated through the determined efforts of generations of anonymous artists. A brief historical survey defines the specificity of Islamic art in Morocco.

Three principal styles of decorative architecture are studied: calligraphy, floral arabesque, and geometrical arabesque. Illustrations and photographs of some of the most beautiful sites of Morocco (monuments, royal palaces and cities) are a pleasure for the eye.

Plan B instead of Planet B

Neither naïve escapism into virtual worlds, nor the technological utopia of space colonization will save us from facing the big, uncomfortable questions. With this year’s theme Welcome to Planet B, Ars Electronica is an invitation to take part in an exciting thought experiment: What if we had already mastered the great challenges of the 21st century? How would we live (together)? And most importantly: What would our path there have looked like?

We will need every bit of technology, but the biggest innovation project has to be ourselves, our ability to rise to the challenge as a global community — a reinvention of humanity! Planet B is not the second chance for another place where we can continue as before, it is the cipher for the indispensable, new, and in many forms completely different life and action on this only planet that exists for us.

Now available in a new format, this lavishly illustrated volume explores Art Deco art and design from its origin to its present day influences.

The Art Deco style is so recognizable and widespread that its original influence on the culture in which it emerged has been all but lost in the clutter of imitation. This book draws our attention back to the birth of Art Deco — a period between two devastating world wars when industrialization was flourishing, interest in archaeology was peaking, and movements such as Cubism, Constructivism, Futurism, and Modernism were turning the art world on its head. Brilliantly designed to reflect the style it celebrates, Art Deco is filled with hundreds of examples of painting, architecture, interiors, jewellery, crafts, furniture, and fashion.

Author Norbert Wolf traces the chronology of the Art Deco style by looking at the politics and culture of Europe in the 1920s and early 1930s, and the artistic movements that paralleled its popularity. He follows Art Deco’s influence in Europe and its immigration to the Americas and Asia. Most importantly, this wide-ranging volume looks beyond the era of Art Deco’s origination to the present day. Pointing to the numerous revivals and contemporary echoes in painting and even literature, this beautiful volume demonstrates that Art Deco is alive and well today — often in forms where we least expect it.
