Книги про моду та фешн дизайн

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.

About the Author:

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. In 2013 she released her first book, Man Repeller: Seeking Love, Finding Overalls. Arianna Piazza is a scholar of Italian fashion. 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.

About the Author:

Cesare Maria Cunaccia is a writer, journalist, university teacher, and curator. A long-standing contributor to AD Italia and other monthly Condé Nast publications, he also works for Vogue Italia as editor-at-large.

Through images both intimate and provocative Erin Magee, founder of MadeMe, presents the first comprehensive monograph of the one of first streetwear brands “by girls for girls.”

MadeMe rose to acclaim during a time when female and queer perspectives were missing from the streetwear landscape. Inspired by the energy of the 1990s when a female-first ethos was actively shaping music, clothing and culture, Magee has fostered the same spirit of enthusiasm for a new generation of it-girls, championing a truly singular and radically instinctive take on femininity.

In the brand’s early days, Magee enlisted the likes of Coco Gordon-Moore (Kim Gordon’s daughter) and Princess Nokia to star in campaigns while mentoring industry heavyweights like Paloma Elsesser, Lourdes Leon, Amandla Stenberg, and Beatrice Domond. The brand's essence is reinforced by these dynamic, emotionally charged interactions with females across generations becoming more of an ecosystem than a brand. The MadeMe girl is radical because she rebels against the concept of who society says she should be, she is defiant because she is true–this feeling is always embodied through the garments she wears and the choices she makes. Communicating through ideas and interests across music, art, fashion, and culture, MadeMe has collaborated with the likes of Doc Martens, Nike, Fruits, Vans, Converse, and X-Girl, translating its youthful design language to like-minded audiences through energetic design codes. Arranged by pure feeling rather than in a traditional chronological order, this publication features an extensive range of voices and talents harnessed by the brand over the years including artwork by musician, Cody Critcheloe (SSION), artists, Ally Bo, Shana Sadeghi-Ray, Aneko, and photographer, Petra Collins.

About the Authors:

Erin Magee is the Chief Creative Officer of Supreme, where she started in 2004.  During her tenure, Magee founded MadeMe, a peerless brand for girls, by girls. Through MadeMe, Magee fosters an active, emotional exchange across generations, through the language of product that fosters selfhood, and singularity. Chioma Nnadi was named head of editorial content for British Vogue in September 2023. Throughout her career Nnadi has worked for publications including the Evening Standard Magazine, Trace, The Fader, and Vogue.com. She also serves as the co-host for the Vogue podcast, The Run-Through.

Найпрестижніші паризькі ремісники Haute Couture, Maison Lesage, співпрацювали з найбільшими іменами моди, від Chanel, Schiaparelli та Yves Saint Laurent до Cristobal Balenciaga, Valentino та Alexander McQueen. Заснований у 1924 році, коли сім’я Лесаж купила видатну фірму Michonet (на той час постачальник таких легенд моди, як House of Worth), Maison Lesage протягом десятиліть створював виняткові мотиви вишивки — для яких часто потрібні сотні, якщо не тисячі годин точного вишивання бісером — для зіркових модельєрів.

Можливо, найбільш відомий сьогодні своїми шедеврами, які він створює для колекцій Chanel Карла Лагерфельда, будинок був придбаний Chanel у 2002 році як частина групи Paraffection, щоб забезпечити виживання унікальної історії та надзвичайних навичок будинку.

Проілюстрований спеціально замовленими фотографіями історичних творінь дому та підсвічений текстами Патріка Моріса, який багато писав про Chanel, Maison Lesage є даниною винятковій майстерності та подорожжю крізь понад сто років моди у її найрозкішнішому та винахідливому вигляді. Цю книгу сподобається всім, хто цікавиться розкішною модою.

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.

Through a playful series of alphabetical vignettes, Manolo Blahník reveals his ideas and inspirations in newly photographed examples of shoes and whimsical drawings.

The shoes of Manolo Blahník have been called “magical totems of success and femininity” (The Guardian) and boast a cult following of devotees the world over. With their sleek elegance and a distinctive fashion edge, “Manolos” are at once fascinating and timeless, their design a beautiful combination of chic, playfulness, and flair.

This book explores the creativity and influences of this modern master through an alphabetical chronicle of the designer’s loves and inspiration. Blahník’s alphabet gives insight into the art and craftsmanship of shoemaking and includes whimsical musings on his relationships with figures such as Anna Piaggi, Loulou de la Falaise, and Diana Vreeland; the inspiration he draws from works by Goya, Zurbarán, Picasso, Barbara Hepworth, and Zaha Hadid; and his admiration for fellow designers such as Azzedine Alaïa, Balenciaga, and Yves Saint Laurent. These highly personal anecdotes — drawn from conversations between Blahník and the author and accompanied by original sketches and new photography — offer the reader a rare opportunity to learn the vision behind the shoes as told by a fashion legend. The book — which will accompany a travelling global exhibition — is introduced by an illustrated essay, which describes the designer’s illustrious forty-five-year career in the fashion industry.

The first publication dedicated to Marc Jacobs’s highly influential creations

Entering fashion history in 1993 with his notorious ‘grunge’ collection for Perry Ellis, Marc Jacobs would soon be hailed by American Vogue as ‘the dauphin of grungy, understated cool’. He quickly rose to become one of the most influential designers of his generation, both at the helm of his own label and as creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1998 to 2014.

Known for his collaborations with prominent artists, musicians and muses – from Stephen Sprouse to Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Sofia Coppola and Chloë Sevigny, Marc Jacobs ‘changed what it means to be a fashion designer, just as once upon a time Andy Warhol changed what it meant to be an artist’, fashion historian Valerie Steele once proclaimed. Opening with an essay on the designer’s work, Marc Jacobs: Unseen unfolds chronologically, revisiting the designer’s most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments of models, hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and Marc Jacobs himself at their most creative. Robert Fairer’s stunning and high-energy photographs capture the youth, glamour and spirit that defined Jacobs’s shows.

Книга, яку має мати кожен модник: Мартін Маргіела у французькому розкішному домі Hermès

Інновації в пошитті, техніці та матеріалах, а також нове бачення моди з акцентом на комфорті, позачасовості та тактильності створили одяг, головною метою якого є подобатися тому, хто його носить, а не справляти враження на глядача. Також був представлений образ жінки, який більше не був одержимий молодістю, але залишав місце для жінок різного віку, таким чином породжуючи альтернативне бачення краси.

Цей ключовий період між модою 20-го та 21-го століть згадується через інтерв’ю з найближчими співробітниками Margiela, більш розширені есе Ребекки Арнольд, Каат Дебо та Сари Моуер, а також передмову Сюзі Менкес. Ніколи раніше не публіковані матеріали з архівів Maison Martin Margiela, численні вражаючі та вишукані зображення з Le Monde d'Hermès, а також нові фотоматеріали розповідають історію найкращого гардеробу Маржіели для Hermès.

- Містить додаткові зображення з виставки в Антверпені та нові тексти Олів’є Габе та Іни Делькур
- Відзначення приголомшливих робіт Мартіна Маргіели, які рідко розглядалися під час його перебування у французькому розкішному будинку Hermès
- Опубліковано за участю самотньої Маргіели
- Оновлене видання з нагоди виставки 2018 року в Musée des Arts Décoratifs у Парижі,

The official 70th-anniversary publication by Marimekko, celebrating the classic design collaborations, pattern designs and vibrant textiles from the much-loved Finnish lifestyle design house

In 1951, Marimekko, Finnish for ‘Mary’s Dress’, held its first fashion show at a hotel in Helsinki. By 1960, Jacqueline Kennedy was wearing Marimekko on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Marimekko: The Art of Printmaking celebrates seventy years of the much-loved Finnish brand's joyful, liberatory approach to dressing and living, featuring over 100 of its most iconic prints, a multitude of colour-ways and a wealth of archival and brand-new imagery.

Delving into the bold, creative world of Marimekko, this is essential reading for any lover of print and pattern.

About the Authors:

Marimekko is a Finnish lifestyle and design house, celebrated worldwide for its lively, original prints and products.

Laird Borelli-Persson is Archive Editor at Vogue.com and author of seven books, including Fashion Illustration Now and Fashion Illustration Next, both published by Thames & Hudson.

The first book on the highly influential French fashion designer renowned for her rock’ n’ romantic style and for reinvigorating the house of Chloé.

Martine Sitbon has become an icon among designers and fashionistas, earning her praise from Karl Lagerfeld as being "the only living French designer." Handpicked to breathe new life into Chloé in the mid-1980s, and the first woman to be named designer at the house, while simultaneously working on her own ready-to-wear label, Sitbon has been at the helm of high fashion for decades. Martine Sitbon, sumptuously designed by longtime collaborator Marc Ascoli, deftly illustrates the looks that have built Sitbon’s reputation — including her separates, draped and tucked organza minis, smart trenches, and sexy rocker-girl pieces — and shows how her style has made her not only a woman’s designer, but a designer’s designer, having spent years mentoring such respected tastemakers as Phoebe Philo and Isabel Marant. With never-before-seen sketches and photographs, this book allows readers to gain a better understanding of the designer’s personal universe and inspirations that have until now been largely hidden from view.

About the Author:

Martine Sitbon is a French fashion designer. She served as head designer for Chloé for nine seasons, and founded the eponymous label Martine Sitbon (later named Rue du Mail). Marc Ascoli is the art director responsible for the image branding of Jil Sander, Yohji Yamamoto, and Chloé, among others. Olivier Saillard is the director of the Palais Galliera, City of Paris Museum of Fashion. He is a renowned fashion historian and author. Fabrice Paineau is the publications director of Double Magazine. Jerry Stafford is a writer and creative director of Premiere Heure, an advertising and feature film production company based in Paris.

Mary McFadden helped define the look of the 1970s with original clothing designs created from textiles picked up on her travels around the globe. With tunics of hand-painted fabrics layered over floating silk pants and pleated Fortuny-like gowns with elaborate embroidery, McFadden created a sensation in the fashion world.

This volume explores McFadden’s thirty-year career, from her debut in Vogue in 1972, launching her as a designer, to her subsequent status as a multimillion-dollar brand, famous for looks inspired by historical cultures as well as by her extensive art collection.

McFadden was her own best model and was frequently photographed by legends such as Horst P. Horst, Richard Avedon, Sam Haskins, and Norman Parkinson, among others. Her passion and vision translated into wearable works of art that were as collectible as the antiquities that inspired them. This book features both her stunning portraits and singular designs, as well as the places and objects that inspired her.

Unparalleled in her dual identities of fashion visionary and erudite art collector, this volume celebrates McFadden’s inspiration and breadth as an incredibly influential tastemaker.
