In Morpho: Joint forms and muscular functions, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a mechanical view of the human body. In the same way that paleontologists work, we can deduce the body’s muscular functions by studying the shapes of the bones. Starting with the joints, which are reduced to simple shapes such as pulleys and spheres, Lauricella teaches you their connections and correspondences with the muscular system, which is necessary for understanding movement.

Geared toward artists of all levels, from beginners through professionals, this handy, pocket-sized book will facilitate your practice of imaginative drawing and will enrich your drawing from observation.

Celebrated fashion designer Naeem Khan unveils a world of chic opulence and modern glamour in this illustrated volume featuring his sought-after red-carpet dresses, elegant bridal gowns, and beautifully beaded and embroidered statement pieces.

Naeem Khan grew up immersed in the lavish world of Indian textiles, with both his father and grandfather creating intricate wares worn by Indian royal families. After moving to the United States as a teenager and landing an apprenticeship with the legendary designer Halston, Khan perfected his expert mastery of draping and cutting fabric. In 2003, he launched his eponymous label in the heart of New York's fashion district and immediately began selling his finely crafted designs at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

This debut monograph is an ode to Khan's dazzling ready-to-wear and bridal designs, highlighting intricate embroidery, refined drapery, rich colors, and lush couture fabrics. Marrying the rich traditions and handmade textiles of his Indian roots as well as design inspirations from his travels to Peru, Japan, Russia, and Spain with modern techniques, the gowns, dresses, and separates presented here capture Khan's innovative vision and expert artistry. Dramatic red-carpet gowns are studies in volume, while bejeweled frocks sparkle with sequins and crystals. Elsewhere, modern renditions of suits and pajama sets embody Khan's romanticism, with delicate hand embroidery. Given Khan's penchant for ornate eveningwear, it's no wonder that luminaries such as Michelle Obama, Queen Noor, Beyoncé, and the Duchess of Cambridge have worn his creations. Brimming with glossy color photographs of Khan's endlessly chic designs, this new title is an enthralling look at one of America's most exciting designers.

The first-ever visual expansion of Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours, featuring over 800 illustration references from the natural world

This chromatic catalogue of the natural world pairs individual colour swatches with examples from the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms to create a beautiful and comprehensive colour reference system to grace every bookshelf.

Marking the 200th anniversary of the publication of Syme’s expanded edition of Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours (1821), this lavish volume takes Syme’s field guide of 110 standard colours and – for the first time – fully illustrates it with nineteenth-century depictions of his referenced species. Expert text explains the uses and development of colour standards in relation to zoology, botany, minerology and anatomy, while specimens from contemporary collector’s cabinets (birds, butterflies, eggs, flowers and minerals) are matched to each colour swatch. Syme’s groundbreaking guide attempted to establish a universal colour reference system to help identify, classify and represent species from the natural world: this landmark publication completes his endeavour.

Contents List:

Introduction The Origination, Purpose and Development of Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours by Patrick Baty • i. Whites, Greys and Blacks • 1. Werner’s Mineralogical System and how his Nomenclature of Colours Became Syme’s Colour Standard by Peter Davidson • ii. Blues and Purples • 2. Colours in Zoology: Subjective or Systematic? by Elaine Charwat • iii. Greens • 3. Syme’s Colour Chart in Botany: Origin and Impact by Giulia Simonini • iv. Yellows and Oranges • 4. One for All? Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours as a General Standard of Colour and its Particular Use in Medicine by André Karliczek • v. Reds and Browns

About the Authors:

Patrick Baty is the author of The Anatomy of Colour and owner of Papers and Paints, a specialist paint business in London. His great grandfather, the artist Robert Bevan, was described by a former director of the National Gallery as being ‘perhaps the first Englishman to use pure colour in the 20th century’. He runs a consultancy that advises on the use of paint and colours in historic buildings and has worked with Dulux and Little Greene to develop ranges of traditional paint colours for English Heritage. He also lectures frequently on the subject of paint and colour of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Model, muse, stylist, and fashion icon: this book explores the relationship between mirror, dress, designer, photography, and especially Naty Abascal as an inspiration.

The publication presents a handpicked selection of designs by Cristóbal Balenciaga, Oscar de la Renta, Eliee Saab, Yves Saint Laurent and Valentino, among others. Abascal has been part of the history of these haute couture masters, not only as a model, but also as a muse, inspiration, and companion of their most significant successes, in daily life and in the pages of fashion magazines.

This book marks the occasion of the exhibition Naty Abascal and Fashion! organized by Museo Jumex, Mexico City, from November 7, 2019 to January 5, 2020. Like the exhibition, it aims to evoke the big ateliers or couture studios, whose mirrors have witnessed the evolution of fashion, along with designers and models. Their reflections highlight the unique details of the cut and the proportion of the outfits that contribute to the transformation of the female silhouette, which testifies to contemporary times like any other art form. It features contributions by Valentino Garavani, Christian Lacroix, Mario Testino, Veronica Etro, Suzy Menkes and Fernando Rius and photographs by Lord Snowdon, Richard Avedon, Peter Beard, Frank Horvat, Jonathan Segade, Chantelle Dosser, Norman Parkinson, Mario Testino, Mario Sierra and Riccardo Labougle.

Black, the most powerful and overwhelming non-color, is the symbol of Dolce & Gabbana and encapsulates opposite feelings that attract: sensuality and rigor, tragedy and love.

In this large-format black-and-white book, the great masters of Italian and international reportage are contrasted with the most important fashion photographers, who have interpreted Dolce & Gabbana Black from behind their lenses since the 1980s. These include Helmut Newton, Inez & Vinoodh, Giuseppe Leone, Enzo Brai, Salvo Alibrio, Sergio Larrain, Bruno Barbey, Ellen von Unwerth, Gian Paolo Barbieri, Fabrizio Ferri, and Juergen Teller.

In these photographic masterpieces, which range from advertising campaigns to the most iconic editorials, the stars of cinema, entertainment, and fashion — featuring Monica Bellucci and Isabella Rossellini among others — will alternate with suggestive portraits of ordinary people, some never before seen by the general public and published here for the first time, in a constant dialog that puts Dolce & Gabbana Black at the center.

About the Author:

Domenico Dolce, born in Sicily, near Palermo, in 1958, started to work with his father in the family clothing business while studying fashion design. Stefano Gabbana, born in Milan in 1962, began to work in various fashion studios with a graphic design background. They met when Stefano Gabbana phoned the tailor’s workshop where Domenico Dolce was working; they became life companions and founded the Dolce & Gabbana company. Their debut dates back to October 1985, when the designers presented their first collection to great success. Since then, Dolce & Gabbana has experienced a constant, unstoppable ascendancy.

Part of a well-known book series on contemporary art jewelry by jeweler Nicolas Estrada, this completely new edition of New Earrings (not a single piece from the 2013 edition has been included) highlights the work of some of the most exciting and innovative international jewelry artists working today. The more than 550 pieces featured by 198 jewelers from all over the world break away from the traditional notion of jewelry making to stake out new terrain. They represent a variety of creative approaches and methods, from more traditional to strikingly avant-garde creations, that speak and inspire, embodying all the ingenuity, flair, eloquence, sensitivity and individual freedom of the diverse creators. Some of the earrings are made using unconventional materials like porcelain or plastic while others use classical materials such as gold in ways that provocatively go against the grain of convention, reflecting the artist's personal identity and tastes or containing a subtle commentary on contemporary concerns.

Aimed at students, professionals and jewelry lovers, this second edition of the book published in 2013, has a new layout and concludes with a brief description of the careers and web pages of the featured artists.

About the Author:

Ana de Izaguirre is a linguist, editor, and writer. After graduating in philology, she completed studies in publishing, graphic design, and photography.

A detailed and abundantly-illustrated reference that focuses on the innovative curved score folding for sheet metal techniques to create beautiful, dynamic three-dimensional forms, much like metal origami, in jewellery and metalsmithing.

Anastasia Young and Paul Wells, both renowned London-based jewellers, authors and lecturers, have created a practical visual handbook on curved scoring and folding techniques applied to jewellery and metalsmithing for small objects. The book’s clear, hands-on approach, with explanatory photographs for each step, makes it an invaluable resource. Readers will discover a variety of ways to score and fold metal and give it different finishes, shaping flat sheets into to visually organic forms, including guides on the tools needed for each method. A final section contains useful resources, from a detailed analysis of score depth based on the gauge of the wire used to information about where to source materials and facts about metalworking and jewellery in general.

About the Authors:

Anastasia Young is a London-based jewelry artist, author and lecturer whose work has been exhibited internationally. Young's eclectic jewelry is often project-based and driven by a combination of ideas and technical investigation; she uses narrative to explore both the design of a piece and its display when not being worn. Examples of her work are held in the permanent collections of the Science Museum, London and Central Saint Martins Museum. Young is a graduate of the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins, where she lectures and teaches short courses in jewelry making. Having written three technical jewellery books (Thames & Hudson, A&C Black) which have been translated into seven languages, Young is well known as an educator and through her teaching and writing. In 2017, Anastasia was appointed to the board of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery, and is also the Technical Features Editor of its biannual magazine, Findings.

Paul Wells is an award-winning London-based silversmith and jeweller, renowned for his use of direct metalworking techniques. Wells' silverware makes innovative use of fold-forming and he has developed a method of creating curved scores which can be used to fold sheet metal in a visually stunning and unique style. His technique has been recognized by Goldsmiths' Crafts and Design Council with two Gold Awards for Technological Innovation. Wells' exploration of this technique has led to the production of intrinsically organic silver forms which almost appear to have grown themselves into existence, creating confounding biomorphic designs that are both functional and decorative. Having taught at several London colleges for two decades, Paul Wells is a respected educator and keen advocate of fold-forming, and has contributed to many books published by Quarto, Thames & Hudson and A&C Black.

Modernism's timeless functionality and utilitarian beauty are constantly reinterpreted in the world of design. New Modernist Type gathers hundreds of contemporary examples showing how simplicity, clarity and homage to historical modernism are still at play in the work of today’s most exciting graphic designers.

Steven Heller, design historian and critic, and Gail Anderson, designer and educator, have made an international selection of ‘new modernist’ designs, from classical, constructivist or retro works to optical, kinetic or metaphorical creations. Heller’s highly informed commentary illuminates the historical context of these new tendencies.

With its breathtaking spectrum of modernist typographies created for today’s design briefs, New Modernist Type is an essential sourcebook and inspiration for student and professional graphic designers

New Necklaces showcases the current trends in contemporary jewellery through the works created by 180 artists from 40 countries and a wide variety of styles, from classic forms and materials to the most audacious and surprising ideas. And, as their predecessors in history, each one of the more than 400 creations included in this book is unique and relates strongly to today’s social, cultural and artistic reality.
