A selectively curated overview of the little black dress in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, organized by Vogue contributing editor and fashion force André Leon Talley and published on the occasion of an exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art (Savannah College of Art and Design), André Leon Talley Gallery. Featuring an impeccably selected group of about sixty dresses from many of the most eminent fashion houses, the book is a celebratory tribute to the iconic little black dress and its deeply resonant cultural and social significance in the modern era.

Defined by the simplest parameters — colour and shape — yet voluminous in possibility, the little black dress is personalized by the designer who imagined it and the woman who wears it. In one silhouette it can capture a woman's allure, and in one evening worn provide her with a reservoir of memories. It can sum up in one wardrobe reconnaissance the way you wore the way you were. A little black dress in any other colour could dent a reputation; in black, it can only elevate one. Whether made from the most superior fabrics, or designed in cutting-edge neoprene, the little black dress maintains its status as the game-changer, the free spirit and pleasure-seeker (Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy in Breakfast at Tiffany's), the career-launcher (Elizabeth Hurley in Versace), the going-for-broke risk-taker (Virginie Gautreau as Madame X), inevitably revealing truths about the women who have chosen to wear one.

Three original essays offer personal histories in praise of the little black dress. An introduction by André Leon Talley and a foreword by Paula Wallace complete this exquisite volume. Together with a stunning collection of images, this book presents a singularly elegant portfolio.

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.

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.

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.
