Книги о моде и фэшн дизайне

Celebrating the art forms of ballet and fashion, this beautiful book explores the creative collaborations between New York City Ballet and the top fashion designers of our age, including Virgil Abloh, Christopher John Rogers, Anna Sui, and Valentino, among others.

Featuring more than thirty contemporary fashion designers, New York City Ballet Choreography & Couture highlights their distinctive work for ballet. From the shorts suits of Thom Browne accommodating the movement of dancers, and the leather harness detailing of Prabal Gurung to the baroque flounces of Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen or the jewel-encrusted slip dresses of Carolina Herrera, this enchanting volume highlights how fashion design is adapted for dance to amplify movement and music.

The stunning photography by Pari Dukovic features breathtaking images of the dancers in motion, along with detail shots highlighting the couture elements of the costumes. Author Marc Happel, NYCB’s Director of Costumes, has collected the designers’ original sketches along with quotes discussing their process and inspiration for each ballet. A foreword by Sarah Jessica Parker, and essays by Tonne Goodman of Vogue and Patricia Mears of FIT further illuminate the creative collaborations between design and dance.

New York City Ballet, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, has been collaborating with prominent fashion designers since its inception. From the first Fall Fashion Gala in 2012 when renowned choreographers Peter Martins and Christopher Wheeldon collaborated with Valentino, through the present, these ballets are celebrated as collaborations between choreographers and some of the biggest names in fashion. Now New York City Ballet Choreography & Couture brings ten years of artistic vision to life.

The first book dedicated to the career and creations of esteemed fashion designer Norman Norell, the man hailed as the “Dean of American Fashion” by the New York Times.

Norman Norell (1900–1972) — the first American designer to employ couture techniques, refined workmanship, and luxurious fabrics — made dresses, coats, and suits that critics deemed “the equal of Paris,” earning him the sobriquet “the American Balenciaga” and forever changing perceptions about New York’s Seventh Avenue garment industry.

Norell showed the world that American design could climb to great heights by producing collection after collection that was both elegant and practical. He singlehandedly shaped the character of the ready-to-wear industry and served as a role model to younger generations of American designers. Early jobs included creating costumes for film and stage and outfits for the stars themselves, as well as working for fashion entrepreneur Hattie Carnegie. Norell brought to the world a lean sophistication and American glamour in his daytime suits, jersey separates, swing coats, and his shimmering sequined “mermaid” dresses. Clients included Lauren Bacall, Babe Paley, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Lena Horne, Dinah Shore, Marilyn Monroe, and Lady Bird Johnson. Norell was the first thoroughly modern American designer — and his dresses are still prized by stylish women today.

This book features Karl Lagerfeld’s most beautiful photographs of Haute Couture garments shot for French fashion magazine Numéro, to celebrate its fifteen years of collaboration with the famous fashion designer.

Who else but Lagerfeld could better reveal the timeless and intricate beauty of Haute Couture? With all his innate imagination and indulgence, Lagerfeld has immortalized the iconic models of our time within the covers of Numéro — Cara Delevingne, Linda Evangelista, Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik, Lara Stone, Stella Tennant, Natalia Vodianova… all these and more have participated in his game, often framed by sumptuous decors worthy of the greatest Hollywood productions. Lagerfeld’s spectacular stagings visualize our most daring fantasies of female archetypes, from fairytale princesses to contemporary muses.

The first complete monograph on Olivier Theyskens surveys his twenty-year career and documents the highly anticipated return of his eponymous label.

Olivier Theyskens’s refined sensibilities earned him international acclaim as the dark prince of late 1990s couture. From his first saturnine collections, to his new vision for Rochas, to his patterns and textiles at Nina Ricci, to his years designing for Theyskens’ Theory, the designer has proved himself a master of couture, semi-couture, and prêt-à-porter. Celebrated for his fine tailoring, romantic silhouettes, and gothic palette, Theyskens transforms each house he helms. This distinctive volume charts the twenty-year development of an extraordinary aesthetic vision, rendered across countries, cultures, and the shifting sands of the fashion landscape.

Newly commissioned texts connect the threads of the Belgian-born artist’s diverse practice. Drawings created for the publication accompany photography from each period of his career. At both Rochas and Nina Ricci, the designer crafted ethereal garments with unorthodox silhouettes, mixing sheer fabrics and old-world bustles with subtly subversive punk elements. Theyskens then broke ground in 2011 with his trailblazing partnership, Theyskens’ Theory. With a special focus on the designer’s return to the runway at the head of his own line, this is the definitive work on a fashion visionary who, like the girls he designs for, changes form, but walks in beauty wherever he goes.

Хроніка новаторського та підривного бренду Parachute та його впливу на еволюцію моди у 1980-х роках і пізніше.

Від свого заснування, натхненного субкультурою «Нова хвиля», до свого становища міжнародної сенсації моди, бренд Parachute з Монреаля був відомий своїм далекоглядним, сміливим одягом та інноваційними концептуальними магазинами.

Авангардний у своєму підході та дизайні, Parachute поєднував високе та низьке, істеблішмент та андеграунд. Одяг визначався андрогінним виглядом, оверсайз-силуетами, вишуканими предметами першої необхідності та графічними посиланнями на минуле та майбутнє, від перебільшених тренчів до «кімоно космічного самурая». Разом із продуманою роздрібною присутністю, яка поєднувала індустріальну естетику в магазинах з яскравими фотокампаніями, бренд створив бачення вуличної моди, яке є надзвичайно актуальним і сьогодні.

Вокер досліджує історію бренду через сотні зображень, багато з яких ніколи не публікувалися, включаючи особисті фотографії засновників бренду, а також вражаючі редакційні та рекламні знімки. Parachute, бренд, до якого зверталися такі зірки, як Мадонна, Пітер Гебріел та Девід Боуї, втілював у собі буйство 1980-х років і сигналізував про майбутнє одягу та роздрібної торгівлі.

Унікальний дизайн з ефемерними матеріалами, накладеними на фотографії, ніби з власних альбомів засновників, є вичерпним розумінням впливового культового бренду 1980-х років і ключовим джерелом інформації як для істориків моди, так і для дизайнерів.

Текст цієї книги написано англійською та французькою мовами.

Історія квінтесенції паризького парфумера Guerlain була сформована паризьким життям, майстерністю та культурою, і водночас зазнала впливу.

Дім Guerlain – це паризька інституція. Шанувальники Guerlain – від королівських осіб та імператриць до знаменитостей, письменників та художників – фігурували в романах, текстах пісень, фільмах та художніх творах, водночас уособлюючи паризький майстерність та розкіш. Штаб-квартира та лабораторія Guerlain на вулиці Ріволі в самому серці Парижа мають нову парфумерну лабораторію та розарій, що нерозривно пов'язує знаменитий дім із містом світла, яке так ідеально втілено в кожному флаконі парфумів.

Подорожуючи крізь два століття історії Guerlain, ця книга підкреслює нерозривні зв'язки між будинком та містом: Guerlain змінив життя Парижан своєю косметикою та парфумерією, проте міг би існувати ніде, окрім Парижа. Творіння Guerlain, особливо парфуми, поміщені в історичний та культурний контекст через поєднання інтерв'ю, зображень та портретів людей і продуктів, які відіграли певну роль в історії дому. Це вшанування Guerlain, квінтесенції паризького парфумера, поєднує моду, паризьке життя та майстерність, історію та суть краси.

Форма, форма, колір та лінія – це візуальна мова абстрактного мистецтва та натхнення для дизайнів у цій креативній книзі з крою. Беручи за основу картини впливових міжнародних художників від початку 20-го століття до наших днів – від Матісса до лауреата премії Тернера Любайни Гімід – модельєрка та педагогиня Монісола Омотосо пропонує захопливий альтернативний підхід до розробки викрійок та драпірування форми одягу. Так само, як абстрактне мистецтво перетворює реальність, абстрактне мистецтво може бути перетворене на справжні, придатні для носіння модні вироби.

Кожен проект починається з твору мистецтва та короткого тексту про художницю. Потім авторка проводить читача через ілюстрований покроковий опис процесу розробки викрійки та драпірування, що дозволяє створити одяг, натхненний цим мистецтвом.

Про авторку:

Окрім заснування своєї компанії Pattern Cutting Deconstructed (www.patterncuttingdeconstructed.com та @patterncuttingdeconstructed), Монісола Омотосо викладала в численних закладах, включаючи Королівський коледж мистецтв та Центральний коледж Святого Мартіна. Вона співпрацювала та проводила майстер-класи в музеї Вікторії та Альберта, розроблені для широкого кола брендів (від Alexander McQueen до Birdsong), а також запустила курс з Domestika.

With this book Giorgio Armani — the “king” of Italian fashion and one of the most recognized designers in the world — retraces, in his own words, his life, work, and thoughts.

This is the only autobiographical text written by designer Giorgio Armani, in which he speaks about himself, his youth, his early career, and the people close to him, and shares his ideas about creativity and what fascinates him in today’s world.

Based on the official illustrated book released by Rizzoli in 2015, this unfiltered text has been revised and updated by the author and is accompanied by personal photos. The book tells an intimate story and chronicles the beginning of a great era for Italian fashion. Starting from Milan’s extraordinary energy in the 1960s up until the most recent events for which Armani has taken a stand through his work, his thinking has always been, and continues to be, consistent and straightforward.

About the Author:

Giorgio Armani was born in Piacenza, Italy, in 1934. He founded his namesake company in 1975, launching his line of ready-to-wear. In 2015, to mark his fortieth anniversary, he opened Armani/Silos in Milan, an exhibition space that houses his creations and hosts temporary exhibitions.

In the late ’70s, spirited young designer, Perry Ellis introduced a fresh, witty and relaxed new sensibility to American sportswear, initially for women and a few years later, for men. The clothes were easy, oversized, slouchy, but classic at heart and they caused a sensation. Ellis, who once told the New York Times that he "always made a determined effort to do something different," did just that, creating a series of signature looks such as his “dimple” sleeves and single-cabled sweaters that set his clothes apart from everyone else’s. Nearly three decades after his untimely death, the legacy of the designer Ellis is still very much felt : Perry Ellis: An American Original is the first complete monograph to celebrate his exceptional career. 

The beautifully illustrated book showcases Ellis’s designs through a combination of photography and sketches, providing an insightful look at each season of his career, from 1976 to 1986, offering readers unique access to editorial and ad campaign photographs from the archives of brilliant photographer Erica Lennard, with whom Ellis worked almost exclusively.  Included here are ephemera, a treasure trove of drawings, and never-before-published photos from the personal collections of the designer’s friends and family, adding insight to Ellis’s unique aesthetic while solidifying his place as one of the key contemporary designers of American fashion.

About the Author:

With pieces drawn from the extensive personal collection of Pharrell Williams, this is a stunning and unprecedented exploration of the “bling” in hip-hop culture and fashion.

Few recording artists have had a greater hand in incorporating the culture of hip-hop into contemporary luxury than Pharrell Williams. Collaborating with Louis Vuitton nearly two decades ago, Pharrell was the first to have his designs integrated into the haute joaillerie of the great maisons. His innovative team-ups continue through to the present day, most memorably with Tiffany and Chanel, and the watchmaker Richard Mille.

The most extravagant of these chains, rings, and pendants — crafted in precious metals and studded with gems — are as much a part of Pharrell’s musical performance as they are of his personal style. His designs, which include one-off pieces such as solid-gold cases for mobile phones and handheld game consoles, have been legendary for featuring iconography of Pharrell’s own brands, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream.

This book was originally published with two different colored covers. Customers will be shipped either of the colors at random. 

Featured in the book are over 100 pieces, many of which he created in tandem with some of the most recognizable designers in the industry — such as Jacob & Co, Yoon & Verbal, and Lorraine Schwartz. With frequent collaborators such as NIGO® and Tyler the Creator, Pharrell discusses his role in the evolution of hip-hop jewelry, the processes involved in the creation of his one-of-a-kind custom pieces, and the state of connoisseurship in a growing market for the most extravagant of hip-hop collectibles.

About the Authors:

Pharrell is a multiplatinum recording artist and a recipient of the CFDA’s Fashion Icon Award. NIGO® is a fashion designer and musician, the founder of *A Bathing Ape & Human Made. Tyler the Creator is a multiplatinum recording artist and designer.

The work of one of the most influential and innovative hat designers of this century. Philip Treacy’s career over the last two decades has been prolific and high-profile. A visual delight, this book shares Treacy’s favorite designs in 250 striking photographs, curated by Treacy himself, and showcases his collaborations and personal relationships. Treacy has said, “Every hat I have ever made has begun in my mind as a photograph. I can see it on the model, at the right angle, before I even begin.” Indeed, his hats have been photographed by the most iconic image makers of our time, including Patrick Demarchelier, Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, and Irving Penn. And his hats have been modeled on equally famous heads, ranging from Grace Jones and Lady Gaga to the Duchesses of Cornwall and Devonshire.  

Since his early friendships with Isabella Blow and Alexander McQueen, Treacy’s imaginative designs have been a synthesis of art and fashion, with materials ranging from silk and lace to Plexiglas and leather, trimmed with feathers or Swarovski crystals. Combining luxury and sophistication, his work has helped shape modern fashion. This first, highly personal book is a glamorous tour through Treacy’s world, and documents how a hat can evoke the magic of life and speak to the transformative power of fashion.

About the Authors:

Philip Treacy is the recipient of numerous international fashion awards (he is a five-time winner of the title British Accessory Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards). Marion Hume has been the international fashion editor for The Australian Financial Review since 2006.
