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

Шлюб між квітами та модою ще ніколи не був таким виразним, як у роботах Іва Сен-Лорана. Ця ретроспектива досліджує використання квітів Івом Сен-Лораном від їхньої символіки до їхнього втілення на подіумі.

Квіти в усіх формах надихали модельєра Іва Сен-Лорана, слугуючи лейтмотивом у його творчості. Його пристрасть до рослин проявлялася в незліченних візерунках та техніках, і він прикрашав жінок квітковими аплікаціями, принтами та вишивками. Від тисячі й одного бутону троянди до гілочок конвалії, від лавини бугенвілії до ніжних макових штрихів, від снопів пшениці до величних лілій, природа була невід'ємною частиною його візуальної палітри.

Крізь проникливий погляд Олів'є Сайяра цей справжній сад дизайнів Іва Сен-Лорана, відібраних з широкого спектру стилів, перетворюється на букет квітучих силуетів. Під керівництвом Ельзи Янссен та Алексіса Сорніна, есе Емануеле Коччіа, Марка Жансона та Серени Букало Масселі досліджують відповідно символіку квітів, характеристики його повторюваних принтів та фірмове використання дизайнером флори в аксесуарах.

A lavishly illustrated banquet of style, elegance, and taste, this is a who's who of the most glamorous men and women around the world, the ultimate treasury of fashion inspiration.

This sumptuous volume -- the ultimate sourcebook for fashion mavens, Instagram followers, and celebrity worshippers -- presents the complete history of the much-lauded and highly visible International Best-Dressed List (IBDL) launched by Eleanor Lambert, "Godmother of Fashion," in 1940. The List has become a barometer of style and the highest honor a sartorial savant can receive, and today it's an ongoing record of the world's most glamorous women and men from society, royalty, Hollywood, celebrity, fashion, art, culture, sports, and media. These gorgeous "swans" of elegance, influence, and grace are gathered here in the most comprehensive survey ever published.

This rich story is told by insider and IBDL Hall-of-Famer Amy Fine Collins through her encyclopedic knowledge, exclusive insights, and countless entertaining anecdotes about the behind-the-scenes goings-on--Lambert was offered kickbacks and bribes of up to $50,000 by list aspirants--that shed light on the selection process, the vibrant personalities (not to mention egos) of the chosen, and the zeitgeist of the times.

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.

The Sartorialist Man: Inspiration Every Man Wants, Education Every Man Needs, by renowned photographer, fashion editor, and social media sensation Scott Schuman, is the definitive fashion primer celebrating the diversity of today's well-dressed man.

Schuman's dynamic street photography captures the essence of style as seen through lens of guys of all ages from around the globe. Setting the new standard, the book will be an invaluable resource for men as they explore and hone their unique personal style. "What I didn't want this book to be was a list of rules. But I do outline principles that will help you make confident decisions about your many sartorial choices," says Schuman in the book's introduction.

The book begins with "Dressing Your Body Type," because when you know what fits your unique body, the better you can pull off any look. In section one, "Clothing," Schuman delves into wardrobe basics with "Elements"--an illustrated glossary of everything from jackets and pants, and collars and cuffs, to outerwear and underwear. Also sprinkled throughout are "Style Strategies" explaining how stylish gentlemen do what they do so well, and the "Focus" section is filled with tips on to how to talk to a tailor, view the runway, and discover inspiration from friends and colleagues.

The second part of the book tackles everything you need to know about accessories--whether to go socks or no socks, and how to tie a tie, choose the right glasses or sunglasses, and find the right shoe. Part three, "Maintenance & Sustainability," is filled with illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to care for, mend, fold, store, and pack your clothes and footwear. Schuman even shares pointers on the how and why to invest in key pieces of your wardrobe, shop online or in person, or buy vintage or new.

Refreshing, contemporary, and inspiring, this striking menswear tome will come to define today's essence of style. The Sartorialist: Man is about enjoying the freedom to explore what looks great on you--and that, perhaps, is the ultimate chic.

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 editors of Vogue, the ultimate authority on fashion, document the post-COVID changes happening across the fashion landscape in America. Celebrating creators, artisans, and visionaries across the country, the book pays tribute to the democratization of American fashion and the creativity and artisanship that is no longer confined to the runways of New York and Los Angeles.

In their February 2021 issue, Vogue launched “The United States of Fashion,” a project that shines a spotlight on the creativity and craft flourishing throughout the country. Exploring the innovation and entrepreneurialism that defines American fashion, Vogue goes coast to coast from Detroit to El Paso to Indianapolis to Nashville, where the most exciting new designers are creating and designing locally.

This book features a wide array of fashion voices across the nation, who share self-generated images and narratives on how they define and identify with fashion now. New, never-before-seen photographs and anecdotes, not published in the pages of Vogue, come from fashion designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte, Jeremy Scott, and Libertine; photographers Alex Webb and June Canedo; and craftspeople Ariana Boussard-Reifel and Ataumbi Metals. The book contains texts by esteemed writers, from Louise Erdrich’s words on Native American fashion and music editor Suzy Exposito’s account of being goth in Miami, to new ways of creating sustainable, recycled fashion. These accounts create a living biography of the evolution and democratization of fashion today. A rich tapestry of style in America, The United States of Fashion will appeal to readers interested in fashion, design, culture, and photography.

A stylish collection of the legendary designer's maxims on fashion, craft, beauty and nature

Having grown up in London's East End, Alexander McQueen left school at 15 to become a tailor's apprentice on Mayfair's Savile Row. At 22, he joined the prestigious MA course at Central Saint Martins and, after presenting his 1992 graduate collection (bought on the spot by influential fashion stylist Isabella Blow), went on to change the course of fashion.

McQueen was defiant in his opinions on creativity ('Give me time and I'll give you a revolution'), women ('I design clothes because I don't want women to look all innocent and naïve ... I want people to be afraid of the women I dress') and craft ('You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition'). He drew much of his inspiration from the natural world ('I have always loved the mechanics of nature and to a greater or lesser extent my work is always informed by that') and consistently challenged perceptions of beauty ('People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality').

This attractive book in an accessible format is the perfect gift for fans of fashion and Alexander McQueen, capturing the wit and spirit of a true visionary.
