From Amber Butchart, host of BBC 4's A Stitch in Time.

An enchanting exploration of the creative inspiration of the Bloomsbury Set on Kim Jones’s artistic direction of the fashion house Fendi.

In September 2020, Kim Jones was named head of Fendi’s couture and womenswear, marking a new era for the Italian brand. This publication examines Jones’s relationship to the legendary Bloomsbury Set: the early twentieth-century community of British writers, intellectuals, and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell, who inspired the collection and his creative process.

Enriched by ethereal photographs by Nikolai von Bismarck, this book spotlights the iconic landmarks of the Bloomsbury Set and Fendi. Beginning with Charleston House, Knole House, and Sissinghurst Castle in England, then travelling to the set of haute couture in Paris, the volume comes full circle at Rome’s Villa Medici and Villa Borghese — where the histories of Fendi and the Bloomsbury Set meet. Diverse photographic methods such as Polaroid, traditional film, and Super-8 film stills bring Jones’s creations to life, as well as reflect the Bloomsbury Set’s experimental techniques, while his eternal muses, including Christy Turlington, Demi Moore, Gwendoline Christie, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell, conjure the poetry of the present. With letters, diary entries, and excerpts from Bloomsbury members, this exquisite book will appeal to aficionados of fashion, literature, and photography

The marriage between flowers and fashion has never been more pronounced than when seen in the work of Yves Saint Laurent. This retrospective examines Yves Saint Laurent’s use of flowers from their symbolism to their fruition on the runway.

Flowers in every form inspired fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, serving as a leitmotif in his work. His passion for plants manifested itself in countless patterns and techniques, and he adorned women in floral appliqués, prints, and embroideries. From a thousand and one rose buds to sprigs of lily of the valley, from an avalanche of bougainvillea to delicate poppy touches, and from sheaves of wheat to majestic lilies, nature was an essential part of his visual palette.

Through the discerning eyes of Olivier Saillard, this veritable garden of Yves Saint Laurent’s designs — culled from a broad range of styles — metamorphoses into a bouquet of flowering silhouettes. Under the direction of Elsa Janssen and Alexis Sornin, essays from Emanuele Coccia, Marc Jeanson, and Serena Bucalo Mussely explore, respectively, the symbolism of flowers, characteristics of his recurring prints, and the designer’s signature use of flora in accessories.

About the Authors:

Olivier Saillard, director of the Fondation Azzedine Alaïa and former director of the Palais Galliera, is a fashion historian, curator, and author.
Emanuele Coccia, philosopher, university lecturer, and author of The Life of Plants, specializes in the relationship between visual theory and the nature of life.
Botanist Marc Jeanson is former director of the museum of natural history in Paris and former botany director of the Majorelle Garden in Marrakesh.
Serena Bucalo Mussely, chief curator and art historian, is head of collections at the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris.

For sixty years, Lambert was queen of the International Best-Dressed List. In 2002, she formally ceded the reins to Graydon Carter, Amy Fine Collins, Reinaldo Herrera, and Aimée Bell.

Менді Афтель — одна з провідних у світі парфумерок натуральних ароматів, серед клієнтів якої є співак і автор пісень Леонард Коен, так і Айві Росс, керівник відділу дизайну обладнання в Google. Уникаючи синтетичних молекул, які домінують у комерційних парфумах, Афтель створює свої складні та витончені аромати, використовуючи лише натуральні есенції. Для неї кожна з цих есенцій — це ворота до втраченого світу ароматів, що сягає витоків людської цивілізації та переплітається з історією медицини, кулінарії, прикрас, сексуальності та духовності. У 2017 році Афтель відкрила музей з однією кімнатою — Архів цікавих ароматів Афтель — на задньому дворі свого будинку в Берклі, Каліфорнія, щоб допомогти сучасній аудиторії знову відкрити для себе чари цього втраченого світу. Її музей приваблює тисячі захоплених відвідувачів і був представлений у New York Times, Vogue, Goop, O: The Oprah Magazine та багатьох інших ЗМІ.

Афтель створила цю чудову книгу, ілюстровану скарбами з колекції її музею, щоб читачі вдома могли зануритися у світ ароматів. Вона проведе нас крізь різні родини ботанічних ароматів (включаючи квіти, деревину, листя та трави, а також смоли), зображуючи кожну рослину за допомогою розфарбованої вручну антикварної гравюри на дереві та розкриваючи її нюхові нотки та традиції. Спеціальні розділи присвячені найрідкіснішим та найціннішим ароматам, таким як амбра, що утворюється з рідкісного секрету кашалота, а також старовинним пляшечкам з ефірними оліями, рукописним книгам рецептів та іншим виразним артефактам. The Museum of Scent,, який включає закладку, тонко ароматизовану натуральною есенцією, запрошує нас у чуттєву, сповнену уяви подорож.

Featuring the star pieces from fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent's art collection – including works by Cézanne, Picasso, Mondrian and Matisse

Yves Saint Laurent was more than a designer of clothing – he was, for many, one of the great style arbiters of the twentieth century. His talent made him the youngest and brightest star in the firmament of fashion, first with Christian Dior, who chose him as his successor, and later in his own right as the shy but daring creator of the modern woman’s wardrobe.

His private life was the subject of constant public fascination, and the homes that he shared with his lifelong friend and business partner Pierre Bergé were extraordinary private cocoons of taste and style. Ivan Terestchenko’s photographs – taken after Yves Saint Laurent’s death in 2008 – capture these exquisite surroundings and cultured luxury for the last time.

Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé amassed an exceptional collection of furniture and paintings over some forty years. It included important works by Picasso, Matisse and Mondrian, Old Master paintings by Goya, Ingres and Géricault, and masterpieces of furniture, sculpture and silver from the Renaissance to Art Deco.

Not a single piece from the collection was sold until the year following Saint Laurent’s death. A historic sale by auction at the Grand Palais in Paris became the stuff of legend months before it even took place.

This book, revealing a rare union of passion, taste and supreme connoisseurship, stands as a monument to two of the greatest taste-makers of our time.

About the Author:

Robert Murphy is Paris correspondent for American fashion and lifestyle magazines W and Women’s Wear Daily
Born in England and educated in France, Ivan Terestchenko read History of Art at the Ecole du Louvre and was a painter until the age of 30 when he switched to photography and landed his first assignment with French Vogue. He contributes to many international publications.

When a woman takes all her clothes off, she can be depicted as a pure, Classical nude. If, however, she keeps her stockings on, she suddenly becomes naked, an erotic creation capable of arousing the viewer’s libido. This curious paradox has been observed and used by artists since the Middle Ages. Stockings range from extremely elaborate confections: multicoloured, embroidered, applied with sequins or precious stones, painted, striped or otherwise made into objects to be coveted, enabling the wearer to be desired.

They range from the shapeless utilitarian woollen stocking suddenly transformed by being black or allowed to droop erotically down the leg, to the breathtaking sheen of silk stockings drawn tight over the leg, held in place by an elaborate garter or garter-belt. Silk was eventually replaced by nylon or rayon, enlivened in certain decades by a central seam in the back of the leg (giving rise to the arousing gesture of straightening the seam), a tiny monogram or the variety of colours in the sheer quality of the transparent material, listed in deniers.

This book explores the astonishing variety of stockings from the eighteenth century to the present, the way great painters depicted them, the way illustrators and cartoonists made use of them, the way advertisements presented them, and the way they have developed, from practical woollen undergarments to luxurious silk creations, from the miraculous invention of nylon to the simple stocking hung from the mantelpiece waiting for Father Christmas.

The Style Thesaurus є водночас лексиконом моди та довідником зі стилю, є незамінним супутником гардеробу для всіх любителів моди.

Стиль можна використовувати, щоб підходити або виділятися, щоб надсилати різні повідомлення, і, маючи відповідні знання, його також можна скорегувати відповідно до настрою чи події. The Style Thesaurus досліджує широкий спектр образів, досліджує їхнє коріння в історії та культурі та показує, як їх можна курувати чи поєднувати.

Організовані в групи, що відображають походження стилю – Utility, Music & Dance, Leisure тощо – і повністю проілюстровані, кожен запис містить приклади, майже синонімічні стилі, деталі стилю, поєднання та історію кольорів. Записи включають все: від нео-вікторіани, денді та рокабіллі до нормкору, модесту чи афрофутуризма.
