About the Author

Sarah, “la barbière de Paris,” is an international celebrity barber known for her technical precision and eye for detail.  

Біллі Айліш - феномен моди. Її гот-скейт-аніме гардероб голосно й чітко резонує з її поколінням і всіма, хто не хоче бути визначеним. Біллі, яку обслуговують найбільші будинки моди світу, вміє підкреслювати інклюзивність, образ тіла, екологічні проблеми тощо, і водночас завжди виглядати чудово. В останньому доповненні до цього популярного серіалу модна письменниця Террі Ньюман звернула увагу на молоду мегазірку з оверсайз одягом і ще більшою позицією.
Коли Біллі Айліш увірвалася на музичну сцену у віці всього 14 років, її одяг сказав усім, ким вона є, ще до того, як вони завантажили трек. Вона була дикою і задумливою. Її одяг був великим і відповідав її погляду. Її гардероб складався з брендів, які розмовляють мовою покоління Z і всіх, хто не хоче, щоб його визначали інші. Дорослішання нічого не змінило, хоча тепер вона керує будинками моди по всьому світу. Таким чином, Біллі часто змішує та поєднує Chanel, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons і Prada зі знахідками від Slumpy Kev, Skoot, The Incorporated і Freak City, і результат виходить за рамки метамодернізму. Цей погляд цілком може вкусити руку, яка його годує, але Айліш це не хвилює. Вона носить те, що їй подобається, коли їй подобається. І ми тут для цього.

- Приголомшливі зображення глобального явища Біллі Айліш
- Відкриття модних ідей від автора бестселерів «Гаррі Стайлз і одяг, який він носить» і «Ріанна та одяг, який вона носить»
- Елегантна презентація в твердій обкладинці, включаючи обкладинку зі справжньої тканини
- Ідеальний подарунок для шанувальників і модниць

Террі Ньюман працювала у індустрії моди понад 20 років, як редактор i-D, Attitude і Self Service і як автор дописів для газет, зокрема Guardian, Independent, Times і Sunday Times. Вона також написала та презентувала програми про моду у Великій Британії для Channel 4 (She's Gotta Have It і Slave). Автор книжок Гаррі Стайлз і одяг, який він носить (ACC), Легендарні автори та одяг, який вони носили та Легендарні художники та одяг, який вони носили (Harper Design), вона брала участь у книгах, зокрема i-D Fashion Now, Fashion Now 2 і Soul i-D. Зараз вона читає лекції в Університеті творчих мистецтв в Епсомі, Англія, і живе в Лондоні з чоловіком і двома дітьми.

Cecil Beaton (1904–1980) is one of the most celebrated British Portrait photographers of the twentieth century and is renowned for his images of elegance, glamour and style. His influence on portrait photography was profound and lives on today in the work of many contemporary photographers.

In the 1920s and 30s Beaton used his camera, his ambition and his larger-than-life personality to mingle with a flamboyant and rebellious group of artists and writers, socialites and partygoers whose spirit and style cut a dramatic swathe through the epoch.

This miniature cocktail book presents a selection of dazzling and delectable infusions, inspired by the ‘Bright Young Things’ with whom Beaton mixed, illustrated with Beaton’s own unique, often humorous sketches and drawings. Featuring highballs, coolers, slings and fizzes fit to please any Lord, Lady or Viscountess, this book and its recipes bring to life a deliriously eccentric, glamorous and creative era.

A rich celebration of the dynamic spirit and beauty of Chanel’s modern classic J12 watch

Chanel’s J12 watch revolutionized the standards of watches for women, combining technical sophistication with the allure of modern design. The J12 has evolved into a classic watchmaking icon of the twenty-first century.

Since its arrival just over twenty years ago, the J12 has drawn its inspiration from Chanel’s drive to shake up the codes by combining a daring artistic approach with superlative technical finesse. The J12 watch transformed ceramic into a precious material, and rewrote two hundred years of watchmaking with the innovative brilliance of its design. A text by noted watch connoisseur Nicholas Foulkes explores the extraordinary conception, execution and history of the Chanel J12. Enhanced by a strikingly original selection of fine photographs, this volume celebrates twenty years of the most beautiful and technically refined watches ever worn on the wrist.

He contributes to a wide range of newspapers and magazines around the world, including the FT’s How To Spend It Magazine, Vanity Fair, Country Life and British GQ.

‘I used my penchant for all that shines to try and reconcile elegance and fashion in a set of jewelry’ Gabrielle Chanel

From Gabrielle Chanel’s 1932 collection to the newest interpretations of her signature signs and symbols by Patrice Leguéreau, Director of the CHANEL Fine Jewelry Creation Studio, CHANEL High Jewelry remains eternally modern and true to the spirit of her enterprise.

Based on extensive research and exploring CHANEL’s inspirations and art through some of the most precious of all her creations and the eternally modern ideas they have inspired, the book features superb photographs by Karl Lagerfeld, Mario Testino, Patrick Demarchelier, François Kollar, Roger Schall, George Hoyningen-Huene, André Kertész, Sarah Moon, Koto Bolofo, Karim Sadli, Dominique Issermann, and many others.

The House of Chanel opens its private archives to reveal a galaxy of brilliant designs created from 1920 onwards

Chanel's combination of tradition, originality and style has always made it the most seductive of brands. Here the House of Chanel opens its private archives, revealing a galaxy of brilliant designs created by Coco Chanel from the 1920s onwards, and now reinterpreted to become the motifs for brand new garments, accessories and beauty products.

Inspired by the House's signature fragrance, the legendary ‘Chanel No 5’, the book explores five central themes – the suit, the camellia, jewelry, fragrances and make-up, and the little black dress – and follows the threads from past to present to show how these key items have been rediscovered and reinvented by fashion designers working in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors. This visual journey is enhanced by previously unpublished archive photographs and original drawings by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as glorious images from some of the greatest names in fashion photography.

Dazzling clothes, intricate accessories, beautiful models and timeless design leave no doubt as to the lasting fame of the brand and embody everything that has come to symbolize the magic of Chanel.

The definitive book on Karl Lagerfeld’s pioneering and irreverent campaigns for Chanel, as photographed by the designer himself

When Karl Lagerfeld was named at the helm of the fashion house in 1983, he set out to radically shake up and update its image – not only through bold collections but also, from 1987 onwards, by choosing to shoot the house’s campaigns himself, a move that was unprecedented for a fashion designer.

Conceived in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld and the House of Chanel, this definitive publication opens with an essay by Patrick Mauriès before exploring the campaigns themselves, organized chronologically. A carefully curated selection of images showcases hundreds of spectacular clothes worn by the top fashion models – and personalities – of each era, from Inès de la Fressange, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, to Kirsten Stewart and Lily-Rose Depp, captured in glamorous locations, from Coco Chanel’s Paris apartment to the French Riviera or LA.

Presented in a high-end, slipcased package, Chanel: the Karl Lagerfeld Campaigns offers an unrivalled overview of the house of Chanel as seen through the eyes – and lens – of Karl Lagerfeld himself.

About the Authors:

Patrick Mauriès is a writer and publisher of many notable titles on fashion and design, including Jewelry by Chanel, A Cabinet of Rarities, The World According to Karl and Fashion Quotes to name a few, all published by Thames & Hudson. 

Karl Lagerfeld is a German fashion designer, artist, and photographer based in Paris.

Gabrielle Chanel was, without doubt, the most influential fashion designer of the twentieth century.

She was years ahead of her time and her clothes, cuts and accessories have remained eternally chic, creating a look for her era and beyond.

Chanel’s influence is demonstrated here by celebrating the key elements that defined and still define her style, through inspired pairings of classic and contemporary photographs.

Putting together fashion plates from Chanel’s own time with the most recent contemporary creations by the house’s visionary designer-in-chief, Karl Lagerfeld, the resonance between archive and contemporary photographs becomes sharp, vibrant and telling.

The vocabulary of Chanel’s style – the little black dress, baroque inspirations, androgynous chic – is revealed and interpreted by comparing original forms from the 1920s with the full range of their later expressions through every fashion era up to today.

Images by the modern greats of fashion photography display the triumphs of one of the world’s most visible and distinctive brands: Edward Steichen, Horst P. Horst, Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier, Karl Lagerfeld, Peter Lindbergh and Mario Testino are among the galaxy of ultra-gifted photographers whose work appears in this volume.
