The essential volume on the great fashion designer, entrepreneur and Louis Vuitton artistic director, back in print.

This authoritative Virgil Abloh compendium, created by the designer himself, accompanies his acclaimed landmark 2019–23 touring exhibition and offers in-depth analysis of his career and his inspirations. More than a catalog, Figures of Speech is a 500-page user’s manual to Abloh’s genre-bending work in art, fashion and design.

The first section features essays and an interview that examine Abloh’s oeuvre through the lenses of contemporary art history, architecture, streetwear, high fashion and race, to provide insight into a prolific and impactful career that cuts across mediums, connecting visual artists, musicians, graphic designers, fashion designers, major brands and architects. The book also contains a massive archive of images culled from Abloh’s personal files on major projects, revealing behind-the-scenes snapshots, prototypes, inspirations and more — accompanied by intimate commentary from the artist. Finally, a gorgeous full-color plate section offers a detailed view of Abloh’s work across disciplines.

Virgil Abloh (1980–2021) was a fashion designer and entrepreneur, and the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s men’s wear collection from 2018 to 2021. He was also CEO of the Milan-based label Off-White, a fashion house he founded in 2013. Born in Rockford, Illinois, to Ghanaian parents, he entered the world of fashion with an internship at Fendi in 2009 alongside rapper Kanye West. The two began an artistic collaboration that would launch Abloh’s career with the founding of Off-White. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2018.

Книга, яка є скарбницею натхнення та інформації, містить понад 1300 образів із понад 70 колекцій, які спочатку з’являлися на культових модних показах Вествуд, стилізовані відповідно до задуму дизайнера (від зачіски та макіяжу до прикрас та аксесуарів) і в яких носили топ-моделі світу.

Книга розміщена в культовому рожево-блакитному тартані будинку Westwood MacAndreas, який вперше був створений для колекції осінь-зима 1993 року під назвою Anglomania, як посилання на французьку пристрасть до всього англійського та як дотепна ода дизайнерському партнеру та чоловікові Вествуд. Виробник Lochcarron, Шотландія, тартан офіційно визнаний Шотландським реєстром тартанів.

Вів’єн Вествуд заново винаходить, надихає та кидає виклик світу моди вже понад п’ять десятиліть, і ця книга прославляє, вітає та відновлює цю подорож.

The first publication devoted to the textile designs of one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists, showcasing a rarely discussed aspect of the Pop Art superstar’s career

Andy Warhol (1928–1987), a giant of twentieth century art, is known to most people for his iconic images of soup cans, Coke bottles, and Marilyn Monroe. Before his meteoric rise to fame in the early 1960s as a Pop Art superstar, Warhol was a highly successful commercial artist in New York.

The late Matt Wrbican, former chief archivist of the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, once said “there are very few stories left to tell about Warhol, but textiles is one of them”. This is the first book devoted to the commercial textile designs of this leading figure in the history of art. With stunning new photography throughout, including unpublished images of newly discovered textiles, the book sheds new light on a previously undocumented but important aspect of Warhol’s oeuvre.

Featuring over 30 different textiles, from ice cream sundaes to acrobatic clowns, Warhol: The Textiles offers a unique record of the beginnings of one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists.

About the Author:

Geoffrey Rayner and Richard Chamberlain are independent gallery owners, researchers, curators, and authors. 

With nearly two million followers on social media, the go-to street style authority  —known as “The People’s Paparazzi” — Watching New York’s first book highlights the best in NYC street fashion.

Watching New York is an A-Z visual exploration capturing the best street style New York City has to offer. Dubbed the “The People’s Paparazzi,” Johnny Cirillo has been making a name for himself with his candid shots of everyday people walking the streets of NYC— from Williamsburg to Soho — and capturing their creative, one-of-a-kind looks on his popular Instagram and TikTok accounts @watchingnewyork, where he has amassed millions of dedicated followers.

The book is a continuation of Johnny’s mission of highlighting the best, quirkiest, and most authentic looks and the incredibly creative minds behind them. A combination of Humans of New York meets The Sartorialist, Watching New York includes new and old photos and is organized by look or style from A to Z (from accessories to zebra stripes) with a heavy emphasis on interviews and quotes appearing throughout to showcase the people who make NYC the fashion capital of the world.

About the Author:

Johnny Cirillo was born in Jackson Heights, Queens, in 1980 to a father who delivered UPS packages in the Garment District of Manhattan and a very creative stay-at-home mom. During high school on Long Island, he developed a passion for photography when his mom gave him his first 35mm and shared with him some of her black-and-white work from the sixties. Film and photography became an obsession. He rolled his own film, built his own darkroom, and bugged every one of his friends to sit for him as he explored all facets of the medium.

По всьому світу денді використовують стиль, поважаючи свої місцеві культурні традиції. Дендизм виходить за рамки моди — це відданий спосіб життя. Міжнародне дослідження світової спільноти денді від творців I am Dandy.

Від Америки до Африки та Азії дендизм – це спосіб життя. Це мода в найкращому сенсі, самооцінка через стиль. І в кожній країні це набуває унікальної форми, оскільки денді спираються на місцевий контекст і культуру моди, щоб формувати свій образ. We are Dandy відчиняє двері гардеробу та досліджує денді як глобальне явище. Завдяки таким дотепним текстам, як і стильним темам, книга пробивається між складками, щоб показати нам цих виняткових людей. Для них мода на денді — це більше, ніж тренд чи етап — це те, ким вони є, зовнішнє вираження їхньої внутрішньої сутності. Фотографії та профілі в поєднанні з розумними історіями показують, що потрібно, щоб виглядати якнайкраще в усьому світі. We are Dandy розгортається з передмовою видатної Діти фон Тіз, яка передає автентичність цих естетів, їхні пристрасті та сміливо витриману філософію.

Натаніель «Нетті» Адамс багато років був причетний до історичного та сучасного феномену Денді — це навіть інформує його власний гардероб. Дослідницький грант допоміг досліджуваному журналісту подорожувати світом і відвідувати еклектичні будинки різних денді.

Нью-Йорк — це більше, ніж теперішній дім режисера та фотографа Роуз Каллахан; місто також є місцем і початком її участі в Денді. У 2008 році вона створила блог The Dandy Portraits, де документує багатогранність сучасного джентльмена. Невдовзі після цього вона познайомилася з Натті Адамсом, і народилася ідея для I am Dandy.

The first monograph on the Japanese streetwear brand Whiz Limited, this book showcases the last 20 years of the brand’s design and collaborations with streetwear’s most iconic players.  

Whiz Limited is a Japanese streetwear brand estab-lished in 2000 by Hiroaki Shitano. With a following in Japan as well as Hong Kong and mainland China, Shitano has become something of a cult figure, as one of the new generation of streetwear designers influ-enced by Hiroshi Fujiwara.

Consisting originally of handmade, printed tees, the label has since expanded to include a complete range of streetwear infused with an eccentric Japanese flair. Shitano was raised in the entertainment district of Shinjuku, and this is reflected in the clothing’s distinctly downtown urban vibe and predominantly dark color palette.

Chronicling the history of the brand, alongside some of Whiz’s most prolific projects to date, this book features beautiful, newly shot photographs of a long list of collaborations with streetwear icons, including Hiroshi Fujiwara/Fragment, Mastermind, Stüssy, A Bathing Ape®, Bristol, Bountyhunter, M&M, Kappa, New Era, Disney, Hello Kitty, G-Shock, Peanuts, Porter, The North Face, Marmot, First Down, and the estate of Keith Haring.

This book also features an impressive archive of the brand’s iconic sneaker designs, boasting collabora-tions with heavy hitters like mita sneakers, Adidas, New Balance, Asics, Puma, Reebok, Mizuno, Converse, and Ugg, making it a must-have for sneak-erheads and lovers of streetwear style alike.

About the Author:

Hiroaki Shitano is a designer based in Tokyo and the founder of Whiz.

Since the early ’80s, Yohji Yamamoto’s groundbreaking silhouettes and innovative design aesthetic have propelled him to the highest rank of the international avant-garde.  Distinguished by his anti-fashion approach, Yamamoto changed the face of contemporary fashion, radically transforming it with asymmetrical and highly conceptual designs partly inspired by the techniques of traditional Japanese kimonos. His vision came as a refreshing contrast to the power suits and brightly clad fashions of the time, forcing a reconsideration of the future direction of fashion. In YAMAMOTO & YOHJI, this luxuriously bound book explores all the major themes in his forty years of counter-fashion design showing for the very first time his work not only on the Yamamoto brands but as well on his brand Y’s and these various collaborations in architecture, movies, plays, literature.

Illustrated with photographs by Craig McDean, Inez & Vinoodh, Max Vadukul and Nick Knight, each chapter elaborates on a particular theme — his sartorial philosophy, influential extensions into scenography, runway shows, monographic exhibitions, and costume design — and is anchored by an essay or interview that lends crucial insight to the story of Yohji Yamamoto, one of the most enigmatic and iconoclastic fashion designers of our time.
