Книги про моду та фешн дизайн

The aim of this beautifully illustrated book is to offer a highly extensive and versatile anthology of pieces, accompanied on one hand by technical and in-depth captions and on the other by a scientifically documented yet concise and absorbing essay.

The whole collection is organised chronologically starting with the fabrics conceived by the artists of the Secessions (Berlin, Munich, Vienna), from Moser to Hoffman and Klimt, and those of Art Nouveau, to then go on to look at the problem of the fabrics with a Deco and Novecento flavour, and the production from the fifties, in European and the USA, with the influences of Informal artistic culture, then through the experiences of Pop Art, Op Art and Kinetic Art, up to the most contemporary successes.

The volume includes biographies of the designers and main manufacturers, a glossary of technical terms, a thematic bibliography and an index of names.

Перша повна книга про творчість Джуна Такахаші з UNDERCOVER, ікони вуличного одягу Harajuku та ймовірного спадкоємця важкої мантії японської деконструкції.

Мода Такахаші Джуна не народилася з надмірно інтелектуалізованої програми. Хоча він і не зовсім популістський, його творчий вплив натомість романтичний — навіть готичний. Невід’ємна частина паризьких колекцій протягом більше десяти років — плюс сімнадцять безперервних сезонів у Токіо до цього — робота всього життя Такахаші підтверджує розвиток від самосвідомої вигадливості та бунтарської стилістики до сталевої, виснажливої ​​елегантності в цілому. Як і його друг NIGO® з *A Bathing Ape®, Такахаші родом із префектури Гунма®, довгі стосунки Такахаші з беззаперечним королем Ура-Харадзюку на початку 1990-х стали предметом місцевої модної історії. Але Такахаші прокладе зовсім інший шлях до легенд і слави. Жорстокий розрив і поспішне збирання, які характеризували його ранні роботи, їх прораховані недосконалості та зшиті шви, поступилися місцем колекціям, які він сам тепер називає «сексуальними та жіночними». UNDERCOVER містить глибоко підібрані розділи, наповнені модою, присвячені ескізам Такахаші, графічним роботам, співпраці та найбільш інноваційним дизайнам на сьогоднішній день.

Розкішно ілюстрована понад 200 фотографіями та докладними есе модних письменників, кураторів і колег, ця книга дає читачам перший доступ до UNDERCOVER Такахаші, однієї з найбажаніших і багатовимірних ліній одягу в сучасній моді.

Про автора:

Джун Такахаші – засновник UNDERCOVER, лейбла, який він заснував у 1990 році. Сьюзі Менкес – британська журналістка та модний критик.

With specially commissioned photography, this unprecedented volume celebrates a legacy of accessories design by the legendary couture house of Valentino.

This lavish tribute to the couture house of Valentino’s accessories line is exceptionally timely: since the long-time accessories team, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, took over as the creative directors for Valentino in 2008, the house has experienced record-breaking success and received international acclaim. Known for their daring approach redefining femininity, Chiuri and Piccioli’s continuance of accessories design has only magnified the line’s popularity.

Equally important is Chiuri and Piccioli’s transformation of traditional Italian handcraftsmanship into a new international barometer of glamorous design. By infusing the highest quality materials and crafts with streetwise attitude, their accessories have become some of the most coveted items in the fashion world.

Valentino: Objects of Couture showcases commissioned images and artworks by various well-known artists — David Bailey, Luisa Lambri,  Nobuyoshi Araki, Duane Michals, Scheltens & Abbenes, Philip Lorca di Corcia and Douglas Gordon—of over 300 of the house of Valentino’s most well-known accessory designs. Art directed by REM-Ruini e Mariotti and along with an insightful essay by the art curator Francesco Bonami, this work presents a rich volume in celebration of Valentino’s exquisitely designed collections.

This book is perfect for devotees of fashion, style, photography, and glamour, and also anyone who understands that a Valentino handbag or heels, even when paired with jeans, is statement-worthy.

About the Authors:

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli have been the acclaimed creative directors of Valentino since 2008. Francesco Bonami is a renowned art critic, curator, and editor.

Classic workwear, sports and military clothing in a new mini format.

This book serves as a retrospective of the Milan-based clothing brand VNGRD, created by designers and artists at the heart of the city's underground scene.

VNGRD is a clothing brand created in Milan in 2005 as the natural creative expression of a group of designers and artists who lived at the heart of the city's underground for years.

Thanks to the creative direction of Giorgio Di Salvo – one of the two co-founders – and a mixture of extreme graphic design and unprecedented product research for the time, VNGRD quickly gained cult status, racking up collaborations with brands like Stüssy, SUPER, FUCT and Slam Jam. It came to be recognized by the likes of Kanye West, also sowing the seeds that gave rise to the Octopus Brand.

Thanks to a naïve, uneducated stance on clothing design and the firm refusal to obey any commercial habits in a world that was transitioning from a traditional model to the current ultra-connected landscape, VNGRD challenged everything and connected many of the people who would go on to become protagonists of the zeitgeist.

This is a comprehensive archive of the brand's graphic and design work, with never-before-seen pieces and behind-the-scenes looks. Featuring contributions from many of the friends and collaborators they have encountered during their journey, the original VNGRD team has produced a book that celebrates the history and heritage of the brand, demonstrating how its vanguardist attitude stood the test of time and predicted many of today's trends, inspiring the prime movers of the clothing world (and beyond).

About the Authors:

Paolo Budua is the cofounder of VNGRD and UNOTRE. Giorgio Di Salvo is a multifaceted creative based in Milan. He has created iconic garments for the likes of County of Milan and is currently the owner of United Standard.

‘You can never take too much care over the choice of your shoes. Too many women think that they are unimportant, but the real proof of an elegant woman is what is on her feet.’ – Christian Dior

There is an indefinable magic, mystique and fascination about high-heeled shoes that passes all understanding or logic. How can you explain that the simple act of pointing your toes and gently slipping them into a pair of towering heels can be such a powerful experience physically, psychologically and emotionally? As British Vogue has charted over the last hundred years, by stepping into a pair of heels, a woman’s personality is instantly transformed. 

Divided into the categories of Fancy Footwork, Enduring Classics, Step Up and Rainbow Heels, British Vogue‘s archive of fashion photos has been plundered to showcase the most beautiful, memorable, rule-breaking and trend-setting heels to be photographed in its 100-year history.

Published simultaneously with Vogue Essentials: Lingerie. This irresistible new series from Conran Octopus and British Vogue explores the key pieces in a stylish woman’s wardrobe and features photographs from Vogue‘s peerless archive of more than a million pictures.

‘Rolfe explores the fascinating link between heels and both physical and psychological power. Divided into four shoe categories and accompanied by archival images from the pages of British Vogue, the book provides charming documentation of what is arguably fashion’s most powerful accessory – from sleek Chanel sling-backs to brazen creations by Balenciaga.’ – British Vogue

African-American fashion designer Willi Smith, pioneer of streetwear and visionary collaborator, finally gets his due in an exuberant celebration of his life and work.

Before Off-White, before Hood By Air, before Supreme, there was WilliWear. Willi Smith created inclusive and liberating fashion: "I don't design clothes for the queen, but the people who wave at her as she goes by," he said. A rising star from the time he left Parsons, Smith went on to found WilliWear with Laurie Mallet in 1976 and became one of the most successful designers of his era by his untimely death in 1987. Smith broke boundaries with his streetwear, or "street couture," and trailblazed the collaborations between artists, performers, and designers commonplace today in projects with SITE Architects, Nam June Paik, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Spike Lee, Dan Friedman, Bill T. Jones, and Arnie Zane. Essays by leading figures from the worlds of fashion, art, architecture, and cultural studies paired with never before-seen images and ephemera make Willi Smith essential reading for the history of streetwear culture and the evolution of fashion from the 1970s to today.
