Книги про моду та фешн дизайн

Чому француженки певного віку є неперевершеними господинями, домогосподарками та іконами стилю – і як ви також можете ними стати. Француженки, особливо ті, кому за 40, є взірцями стильного та вишуканого життя, те, що французи називають l'art de vivre (мистецтвом життя).

Американська журналістка моди Тіш Джетт, яка роками вивчала цих жінок, поділилася їхніми секретами краси у своїй першій книзі «Назавжди шикарна». Тепер вона досліджує, чому француженки певного віку є майстрами господинь та домогосподарок, досвідченими майстринями красивих манер, а також повсякденної елегантності, майстерності та, як наслідок, радості життя.

Джетт пояснює, як розважати гостей, як француженка, зокрема, зазирнувши у типову французьку комору, з якої легко можна приготувати смачну страву, а також детально розповість про те, як гарно накрити стіл та приготувати ідеальну сирну тарілку (чи знаєте ви, що під час нарізання шматочка сиру ріжте від задньої частини до кінчика, який є «серцем» сиру, і тому вважається найкращою частиною, яку не можна відрізати, щоб інші не могли нею насолодитися). Вона досліджує повсякденний стиль та елегантність, розкриваючи, як створити те особливе відчуття bien dans sa peau (почуватися добре), якого так прагнуть француженки. Джетт також розповідає про важливість дисципліни, яка йде рука об руку з красою – добре організована шафа, чи то для одягу, чи для постільної білизни, перетворюється на легку повсякденну елегантність.

З порадами щодо сезонного коригування режиму краси та стилю, чарівно упакованими кольоровими ілюстраціями, книга «Жити вічно шикарно» – це чудовий подарунок для франкофіла у вашому житті.

Про автора:

Роками Тіш Джетт була редактором моди у виданні The New York Daily News Tonight (під керівництвом Клея Фелкера), редактором стилю та моди Detroit Free Press, а до цього — головною редакторкою відділу Середнього Заходу для Women's Wear Daily та W (і водночас вона була кореспондентом Architectural Digest на Середньому Заході). Її кар'єра на цих посадах приводила її до Європи два-чотири рази на рік. Коли їй випала можливість стати редактором стилю International Herald Tribune у Парижі, вона звільнилася з роботи в Нью-Йорку, зібрала доньку та собак і вирішила побачити, що приготувала їй доля. Працюючи в Herald Tribune, до неї звернулася Chicago Tribune з проханням стати кореспонденткою з Парижа, а пізніше, все ще працюючи в обох «Tribunes», вона стала останнім редактором American Elle, перш ніж його популярність довела, що журнал може щасливо жити в Нью-Йорку. Замість того, щоб повернутися до Нью-Йорка з Elle, вона вирішила, що кохання важливіше за плани, які вона спочатку мала щодо своєї кар'єри. Тож вона вийшла заміж за свого француза і продовжує вести блог про француженок певного віку та їхні секрети стилю на сайті tishjett.com.

The new looks, updated traditions, and influential designers defining men’s fashion today, from the world’s capital of gentlemen’s style.

Combining the unique heritage of gentlemen’s tailoring with a progressive approach to street style, London is fast becoming the world’s capital of men’s fashion. For this book, Dylan Jones presents a discerning sartorialist’s guide to the capital, from London’s coolest neighborhoods to the studios of its most influential designers and beyond.

Beginning with an exploration of London’s chicest urban villages, the book reflects the extraordinary eclecticism of the city’s street style—from envelope-pushing streetwear in Shoreditch to classic tailoring in Mayfair. Forays into the coolest and hardest-to-find menswear shops in the city at once reveal the sources of the fashions on display and capture the atmosphere of the capital. At the heart of the book are profiles of London’s top designers — from world renowned brands to up-and-coming names, these are the designers whose work is shaping the future of menswear.

Legends such as Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood, whose flair for subversion colors their refinement, sit alongside younger designers such as Christopher Shannon and Agi & Sam, pioneers of bringing graphics and pattern to luxury streetwear. Icons of classic elegance such as Tom Ford and Burberry contrast with a new generation of designers, from Nigel Cabourn to Mr. Hare, whose redefined silhouettes and innovative materials take the traditions of Savile Row into the new millennium.

Edwardian fashion and etiquette are explored through the life and extensive wardrobe of London socialite Heather Firbank. Beautifully illustrated with new photography of finely crafted evening gowns, tailored suits and elaborate hats as well as contemporary photographs and pages from Heather’s own albums of fashion cuttings, London Society Fashion vividly maps the London couture scene of Edwardian Britain, and charts the changes in fashion through the tumultuous first decades of the twentieth century.

This fascinating publication presents the roles two men have played in turning a small workshop in nineteenth-century Paris into one of the most successful and recognized brands in the world.

Known for both craftsmanship and must-have high design, Louis Vuitton the luxury house was started by its eponymous founder in 1854. The first half of this publication traces the innovations by Vuitton, who turned the little-known guild profession of emballeur (packer) into the foremost luxury trunk maker in Paris, with a clientele that included in his lifetime the French nobility as well as the elite of a prosperous empire. Prime and never-before-seen examples of Vuitton’s craftsmanship, along with the fashion that went into them, are the highlights of these chapters. The second half of the book examines the role of Marc Jacobs as Louis Vuitton’s creative director (since 1997), who took the Louis Vuitton house into a new era with a series of collaborations with artists and designers - such as Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and Stephen Sprouse - as well as designing a line of highly successful and desired clothing for the company.

By examining two divergent but often similar careers one hundred years apart, Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs is not only a layered study of the evolution of a luxury brand in the past 150 years but also a celebration of technical and design innovations in the new century.

This volume is an unprecedented history of Louis Vuitton’s women’s bags, the most coveted line of accessories in women’s fashion. 

At the heart of Louis Vuitton are its City Bags, a range of women’s bags that dates back to the turn of the twentieth century. Featuring the trademark monograms of the house, the City Bag story began with the Steamer, a resort bag designed in 1901 to be packed inside a much larger steamer trunk. These bags have in a hundred years formally diversified into a dizzying array of handbags for every conceivable function demanded by the modern woman. Profoundly influential, City Bags are now known to millions by their descriptive names (Keepall, Bucket, Papillon, Alma, Locket, Noe, Speedy) and are still evolving into more fantastical forms. 

Lavishly illustrated with new and archival photography, historical graphics, landmark editorials, and ad campaigns, the volume traces the history of these specific bag families, and examines the earliest specimens and today’s most sought-after collectibles, including Vuitton’s collaborations with Takashi Murakami, Stephen Sprouse, Richard Prince, Yayoi Kusama, and Rei Kawakubo and one-off projects by Zaha Hadid, Shigeru Ban, Vivienne Westwood, Helmut Lang, Andrée Putman, and of course, Marc Jacobs. 

Louis Vuitton: City Bags is an ambitious volume on the creation and cultivation of a cultural phenomenon.

About the Authors:

Marc Jacobs is the creative director for Louis Vuitton and designer for the Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs lines. Florence Müller is a curator, fashion historian, and associate professor at the Institut Français de la Mode. Takashi Murakami is an artist based in New York and Tokyo.

When Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury was published in 2004, the book was the first to describe the dramatic rise of the world’s finest luxury company. Written with full access to the company’s archives, it demonstrates Louis Vuitton’s passion for fine design with a stunning array of archival art, product designs, and cutting-edge advertising. The company is examined through the lives of its first three leaders - founder Louis (who invented the modern trunk), his son Georges, and his grandson Gaston.

Now with fresh information on subjects such as designs for ready-to-wear clothing, shoes, jewellery, and even automobiles, this new edition includes 20 additional pages and updated material throughout the book, covering the brand’s recent history, with new texts and photographs.

Louise Bourgeois, who has produced art since the 1930s, began in the 1990s to use her clothes and the clothes of her loved ones as components in her sculptures and drawings. It is as much a reincarnation of her past and her childhood as a confirmation of her relationship with memory. Her visual approach to fabrics transforms decorative accessories into emotional and personal references which, especially in her Cells and later in her drawings, create representations of a tormented and at the same time powerful womanhood. Further development of the artist’s work began in 2002: exploiting the iridescent colours and formal structural properties of pieces of her clothing, she created “The Fabric Drawings,” astonishing works alternating between floral figurative pieces and chromatic abstractions.

This set of images is collected here in its entirety for the first time, constituting the closest thing yet to a general catalogue.

• This collection of pictorial and sculptural images is brought together in this anthology in a unique and exhaustive way.
• The publication is a means of approaching her distinctive iconographic and visual explosions and adding to our knowledge of the artist herself.
• Bourgeois’s emotional and figurative strength, translated into compositions of colour and form, is further testimony to her important contribution to the history of modern and contemporary art.

A touching volume that celebrates the life and work of beloved fashion designer Alber Elbaz.

On April 24, 2021, the designer Alber Elbaz passed away due to complications from COVID-19. The creative director of Lanvin from 2001 to 2015, he was the most consequential figure from the fashion community lost to the pandemic.

Love Brings Love, the celebration of Elbaz’s life and work that concluded Paris Fashion Week on October 5, 2021, remains a unique event in the recent history of the industry. In tribute, forty-four designers, from nearly all the French and Italian maisons, as well as his dear friends in Japan and the United States, created dresses for a memorial fashion show — the first collaborative one to have ever been held in Paris. Of the more than seventy looks, thirty were by Elbaz, posthumously executed by his team at AZ Factory.
The international fashion community came as one family to publicly mourn and remember one of their own, with a reverence and affection reserved only for someone so universally and genuinely loved.

This book is divided into three parts, which include texts written by Elbaz prior to his passing; a sequence of sketches by forty-four designers and maisons, including Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, Giambattista Valli, Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Rick Owens, and Valentino, on uncoated stock; and a section of photographs of completed dresses, including dresses designed by Elbaz, on matte coated stock.

The sequence describes in ways both conceptual and material how his friends and peers saw him, and how they intimately honored his memory with their own work and in their own words.

AZ Factory is a brand formed by Alber Elbaz, the creative director of Lanvin in Paris from 2001 until 2015.

A fresh look at the concept of elegance and Parisian style, personified by the iconic fashion of Roger Vivier.

For decades, Roger Vivier has created visionary shoes and bags that, over time, have become icons of fashion. This book tells the story of this achievement and offers a fresh take on the designer’s legendary accessories, as seen through the eyes of young enterprising fashion bloggers and tastemakers including Charlotte Groeneveld (The Fashion Guitar website), Chriselle Lim (The Chriselle Factor website), Eleonora Carisi (Joujou Villeroy website), and Tamu McPherson (All the Pretty Birds website). For the first time, objects of this legendary luxury brand will be interpreted directly by those who wear them, people who live their lives “inside” the Vivier brand.

About the Authors:

Ines de la Fressange was a runway model in the 1980s. She is a creative consultant for Roger Vivier and Uniqlo. Christene Barberich is the global editor-in-chief and co-founder of the Webby award–winning lifestyle media company, Refinery29, which reaches 225 million women worldwide every month. Leandra Medine is the founder of the fashion blog Man Repeller and has collaborated with a long list of fashion brands and retailers.

She is the author of You: The Digital Fashion Revolution (Electa Mondadori, 2017), and Fashion 150: 150 Years/150 Designers (Laurence King, 2016).

This adventure into fashion follows a milliner's shop on Via Roma, Florence, that went on to become a hugely important international e-shop and concept store.

Over the course of ninety years of history and constant metamorphosis in the world of fashion, LuisaViaRoma has never stopped evolving and embracing new experiments, opening itself up to unexpected and sometimes provocative linguistic and creative forms. This is a story, told through images, of a launching platform directed toward the new and the diverse, in a city devoted to experimentation and artistic thought.

The core of the volume centers on images of LuisaViaRoma's window displays, particularly the contribution of the artist Kyle Bradfield and of the architect Lorenzo Gemma between the 1980s and 1990s during the effervescent period when postmodern Florence served as a laboratory of signs, alchemies, and interpretations of the real. There will also be a focus on Weststuff magazine, which wove together fashion, art, and music, conceived by Andrea Panconesi with Stefano Tonchi and Maria Luisa Frisa. A part of the book will be dedicated to the celebratory fashion show from 2019 conceived by Carine Roitfeld.

Ерін Магі, засновниця MadeMe, представляє першу комплексну монографію одного з перших брендів вуличного одягу «від дівчат для дівчат».

MadeMe здобув визнання в той час, коли жіночі та квір-перспективи бракували у вуличному світі. Натхненна енергією 1990-х років, коли жіночий етос активно формував музику, одяг та культуру, Магі сприяла тому ж духу ентузіазму для нового покоління it-girls, відстоюючи справді унікальний та радикально інстинктивний погляд на жіночність.

На ранніх етапах існування бренду Магі залучила таких знаменитостей, як Коко Гордон-Мур (дочка Кім Гордон) та Принцесу Нокіа, до участі в рекламних кампаніях, водночас ставши наставником таких відомих особистостей, як Палома Елсессер, Лурдес Леон, Амандла Стенберг та Беатріс Домонд. Суть бренду підкріплюється цими динамічними, емоційно зарядженими взаємодіями з жінками протягом поколінь, які стають радше екосистемою, ніж брендом. Дівчина MadeMe радикальна, бо вона повстає проти уявлення про те, ким вона має бути, вона непокірна, бо вона справжня – це почуття завжди втілюється в одязі, який вона носить, та в виборі, який вона робить. Спілкуючись через ідеї та інтереси в музиці, мистецтві, моді та культурі, MadeMe співпрацювала з такими брендами, як Doc Martens, Nike, Fruits, Vans, Converse та X-Girl, передаючи свою молодіжну дизайнерську мову однодумцям за допомогою енергійних дизайнерських кодів. Розташована на основі чистих почуттів, а не в традиційному хронологічному порядку, ця публікація представляє широкий спектр голосів та талантів, задіяних брендом протягом багатьох років, включаючи роботи музиканта Коді Крітчелоу (SSION), художниць Еллі Бо, Шани Садегі-Рей, Анеко та фотографа Петри Коллінз.

Через MadeMe Магі сприяє активному емоційному обміну між поколіннями, використовуючи мову продукту, яка сприяє самобутності та унікальності. Чіома Ннаді була призначена керівником редакційного відділу контенту британського Vogue у вересні 2023 року.

Закінчивши Королівську академію образотворчого мистецтва в Антверпені у 1980-х роках, Мартін Маргіела (та його сучасники з «Антверпенської шістки») змінили світову моду своїм агресивним повторенням традиційного модного дизайну та полемічним підходом до тенденцій розкоші. Працюючи спочатку з будинком Gaultier, Маргіела ввібрав радикальний дизайн японської деконструкції, зробивши його цілком власним із заснуванням власного бренду в 1988 році. Маргіела пропонує особливий, загадковий вигляд, виходячи за межі впізнаваних тропів деконструкції - монохроматичної палітри, великогабаритного одягу, нетрадиційних тканин, відкритих швів або грубо апліковані деталі - щоб розвинути повністю продуманий світогляд, який однаково поєднує елегантність, таємницю та загрозу.

Ця книга пропонує внутрішній погляд на процес дизайну від майстра, який створює речі, які цінуються за їх оригінальність, делікатність і сміливість. У дусі одягу Маргіели книга сама по собі є витвором мистецтва, розроблена ексклюзивно Маргіелою та доповнена сріблястими чорнилами, маркерами на стрічках, різними типами пишного паперу, дванадцятьма буклетами та вишитою обкладинкою з білого льону. Ця книга відкриває вікно в інтимний світ ручної роботи унікального дизайнера.

A bold, stylish look at the global rise of Korean culture and style in the words and images of those shaping and living it

K-pop, K-fashion, K-drama, K-beauty: over the last decade, K-style has exploded onto the global scene. What is behind this phenomenon? Where does K-Style go from here? Make, Break, Remix: The Rise of K-Style makes no attempt to define or categorize, instead celebrating the eclectic, multi-faceted nature of K-Style and its home city of Seoul.

Through interviews with eighteen tastemakers who are shaping K-style across creative sectors, from 1Million Studio's Lia Kim to rock band leader Hwang Soyoon, world famous tattooist Doy to Asia’s leading designer Teo Yang, Fiona Bae tells untold stories from true insiders, exploring a sense of identity in their work, how living in Seoul affects them and their creative output, and the decade of changes that has brought about the current K-style. Interwoven with these texts, five distinct photo-essays from celebrated photographer less_TAEKYUN KIM (recent credits including Vogue Korea, GQ Korea, i-D Korea) capture the vibrant energy of Seoul's streets and the incredible style of its youth.

Contributors such as BLACKPINK songwriter and A&R Danny Chung, add their own vital perspectives on the scene, while fashion journalist Sukwoo Hong sits down with brands to watch for his K-fashion directory such as PAF(Post Archive Faction). Designed by Hezin O, with a distinct typography that blends Hangul and Roman writing systems, this is an inventive, genre-breaking look at K-style in the words of those shaping it.

Embrace female empowerment with J. J. Martin, founder of world–renowned Milanese lifestyle brand LaDoubleJ, in the ultimate insider’s guide to Italy and her magic.

After moving from Manhattan to Milan 20 years ago, with no job, no friends, and no patience for the Italian way of life, J. J. Martin realized she had no option but to surrender to the vibrant but slow-paced lifestyle. In so doing, she discovered more joy (and success) than she could ever have imagined. In this uplifting volume, Martin invites us to jump on board and join her on her journey – an outsider’s evolution through life, love, loss, creativity, and magic – to today’s beloved ‘Milano’. Dive into the delights of Italian fashion, food, and good living; meet some of Italy’s leading female tastemakers (the ‘LaDoubleJ Babes’); tap into Martin’s spiritual secrets for unleashing inner creativity and wisdom; and more – all with a dash of LaDoubleJ vintage chic and oodles of Italian style. This feel-good book is a celebration and a creation story – both of a brand and of becoming your own woman, the Italian way.

Each copy is bound in one of three LaDoubleJ fabrics. Orders will be fulfilled with one of the fabrics available, selected at random.

About the Author:

J.J. Martin is a Los Angeles–born editor turned entrepreneur and founder of the hugely successful Milanese lifestyle brand La DoubleJ — now a global phenomenon. Having spent years scoping out the very best of Italian fashion and design as a contributing editor for publications including Harper’s Bazaar and Wallpaper*, Martin launched La DoubleJ in 2015 as a shoppable magazine selling vintage clothing and jewelry. The brand soon expanded into a full lifestyle label offering new fashion made with archival prints, cool home design, and rare vintage — all distilled through a lens of pure joy and eye-popping print — and championing Italian talent. With collections sold in more than 200 stores worldwide, La DoubleJ’s first flagship store opened in Milan’s high-end fashion district in 2021, complete with a dedicated floor offering a spiritual haven for shoppers and venue for female empowerment workshops. Martin lives in Milan.
