Книги про моду та фешн дизайн

Завдяки своєму провокаційному та підривному підходу до дизайну, Рік Оуенс є трансформаційною силою у світі моди з моменту заснування свого бренду в 1994 році. Цей важливий том є першою критичною оцінкою робіт Оуенса, яка документує еволюцію майже трьох десятиліть неповторного світогляду дизайнера.

Оуенс залишається одним із найсміливіших та найвпливовіших модельєрів, що працюють сьогодні. Оуенса часто описують за його естетику «гранж зустрічає гламур», і він здобув віддану міжнародну аудиторію. У його творіннях грація та суворість поєднуються з одержимістю структурною трансформацією та рухом, де прозорі, плавні форми контрастують з непрозорими формами та гострими краями, підхід до формального винаходу, який доповнюється манією до нових і часто екзотичних матеріалів.

Приурочена до першої комплексної виставки робіт дизайнера, яка відбудеться в Пале Галлієра в Парижі влітку 2025 року, масштаб та широта цієї виставки обіцяють стати справжньою насолодою як для давніх шанувальників, так і для тих, хто не встиг її побачити. Оуенс переосмислить величний палац дев'ятнадцятого століття, в якому розташований музей, з тимчасовими інсталяціями, які слугуватимуть вітринами для його численних творінь. Фактично розділяючи книгу між концепцією вітрин та цінними предметами, які вони демонструють усередині, кураторські есе, що завершують цю візуальну розповідь, спробують описати міждисциплінарний, навіть архітектурний підхід Оуенса до своїх творінь.

A gorgeous tribute to the legendary shoe and accessories designs of Roger Vivier

Master designer Roger Vivier elevated both the form and decoration of ladies’ shoes during his sixty-year career. His innate Parisian style embodied a sense of perfection and craftsmanship, and his work was coveted by style icons from Elsa Schiaparelli to Jackie Onassis. Described by Yves St. Laurent as bringing to his work a "level of charm, delicacy, refinement and poetry unsurpassed," he created the first stiletto heel for a ready-to-wear shoe line with the house of Dior in 1955.

His shoes are legendary, and the tradition of his innovative spirit continues with the revival of the house by current designer Bruno Frisoni, who has updated Vivier’s concepts, bringing his own touch to signature shapes and embellishments (including the buckle pump made famous by Catherine Deneuve in Belle du Jour).

This lavish volume celebrates the history of the venerated house and charts the current evolution of the fantastic haute-couture designs that keep Roger Vivier at the top of every well-dressed woman’s list.

With gorgeous new photography of the house’s collection of vintage shoes, beautifully rendered sketches, and details of the amazing accessories coming out of Roger Vivier today, this book is as chic as the shoes that fill its pages.

Published on the occasion of the couture house’s ninetieth anniversary, this book celebrates Elsa Schiaparelli’s shared creative passion with the twentieth century’s most esteemed artists.

Known for her bravado and boundary-pushing dresses, Elsa Schiaparelli is undoubtedly one of the greatest icons of twentieth-century fashion. After launching her eponymous haute couture house in Paris in 1927, the Roman-born designer captured the attention of the world at large not only thanks to her trompe l’oeil patterns and surrealist forms — but also because of her creative relationships with some of the epoch’s most renowned artists.

From Salvador Dalí, who collaborated with Schiaparelli on her infamous Lobster Dress to Alberto Giacometti’s furnishings for her salon and René Magritte, whose surrealist works inspired some of the designer’s creations, this beautifully illustrated tome delves into the couturiere’s fascinating rapports with these artistic legends. Through never-before-seen photography, intimate anecdotes, and essays penned by some of today’s most authoritative fashion critics, curators, and personalities, this volume is the first definitive work dedicated to the shared inspiration between the designer and her circle of artist friends.

Unique in its breadth of artwork and diverse contributors, this visually stunning book is a must for anyone interested in avant-garde art, twentieth-century fashion, or thought-provoking design.

Elsa Schiaparelli (1890–1973), one of the leading fashion designers of the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, was known for her flair for the unusual.

The first designer to use shoulder pads and animal prints, and the inventor of shocking pink, Schiaparelli collaborated with artists including Jean Cocteau, Alberto Giacometti, and Salvador Dalí to create extraordinary garments such as the Dalí Lobster Dress. Schiaparelli had an affluent clientele, from Katharine Hepburn to Marlene Dietrich, who embraced her outrageous but elegant designs. She designed aviator Amy Johnson’s wardrobe for her solo flight to Cape Town in 1936 and the culottes for tennis champion Lilí Álvarez that outraged the lawn tennis establishment, and her clothes appeared in more than 30 films, including Every Day’s a Holiday with Mae West and Moulin Rouge.

Schiaparelli’s fascinating autobiography charts her rise from resident of a rat-infested apartment to designer to the stars.

In this exciting volume, Salvatore Ferragamo traces his life’s adventures from his origins as a village shoemaker to founding what would become a major global fashion brand.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the least important part of this book is the life story of an Italian shoemaker. We can all write our autobiography, and if I dwell on the details of my career it is only because it makes it easier to explain my calling: the work that became my life’s fundamental vocation.

Life has taught me that Nature gives us perfect feet. If they get damaged, it is because our shoes are defective. However, it is not necessary to undergo such torture, not even in the name of vanity. We can all walk happily wearing comfortable, refined, splendid shoes.
This is my whole life’s work: learning to make perfect shoes, refusing to put my name on those that aren’t.” — Salvatore Ferragamo

This is a new, completely updated edition of the autobiography of a man who made Italian fashion great throughout the world. Among the many vicissitudes of his adventurous life, the book features a magnificent series of encounters with and anecdotes about the most extraordinary Hollywood stars, such as Rudolph Valentino, Mary and Lottie Pickford, Pola Negri, Joan Crawford, and Greta Garbo. His loyal customers also included Marilyn Monroe, Douglas Fairbanks, Sophia Loren, Anna Magnani, Audrey Hepburn, and Paulette Goddard.

About the Author:

Salvatore Ferragamo was born 1898 in Bonito, a poor village in the south of Italy. After learning shoemaking in Naples, he opened a small shop in his hometown, then in 1915 immigrated to America, where he designed footwear for the film stars of the time. He returned to Italy in 1927 and founded the world-renowned Ferragamo company.

Перша вичерпна книга про творчість Сімони Роша, улюбленої ірландської дизайнерки.

Сімон Роша закінчила престижний Центральний університет імені Сент-Мартінс і після презентації своєї першої колекції у 2010 році швидко здобула прихильність серед знавців моди та законодавців смаку. Адріан Джоффе з Dover Street Market став її першим шанувальником. Народжені глибокою та пишною природою рідного дому в Ірландії, її дизайни надзвичайно жіночні, захопливі та безмежно мрійливі. Її бачення, здається, не має меж — її надзвичайно унікальні дизайни з того часу знайшли нову групу послідовників, серед яких стильні бунтарські зірки першої величини, такі як Ріанна, FKA Twigs, Біллі Айліш та Хлоя Севіньї, а також віддані модні фанатки, які носять броги на платформі від Роша, об'ємні, майже готичні сукні та сумки у формі перлів у містах по всьому світу. Співпраця з такими брендами, як Moncler, H&M та J Brand, також значно підвищила популярність її робіт.

Ця книга — довгий, задумливий погляд у підривний світ Роші, сильно натхненний роботами Луїзи Буржуа та, безперечно, Рей Кавакубо з Commes des Garcons. Природжений букмекер (вона опублікувала вражаючу кількість неймовірно колекційних зінів), вона проникливо відредагована, розроблена та створена, зібравши зображення з подіуму, тіньові редакційні статті та закулісні кадри таким чином, щоб залишатися вірним самій природі темного та звивистого світу, який вона створила. Ця монографія, яка є абсолютно необхідною для книжкової полиці будь-якого любителя моди, є довгоочікуваною та має намір піти слідами успішних авторів, твори яких Ріццолі публікувала в минулому, включаючи Анн Демуелеместер, Ріка Оуенса, Джуна Такахаші та Maison Martin Margiela.

Про автора:

Сімон Роша — ірландський модельєр. Вона навчалася в Національному коледжі мистецтва та дизайну в Дубліні та в Central Saint Martins у Лондоні. У січні 2024 року Роша представила свою першу колекцію високої моди з Жаном-Полем Готьє під час Тижня високої моди в Парижі.
