Книги о моде и фэшн дизайне

The way we wore. The story of modern fashion — from couture to mass market

The 20th century saw fashion evolve from an exclusive Parisian salon business catering to a wealthy elite, into a global industry employing millions, with new trends whisked into stores before the last model has left the catwalk. Along the way, the signature feminine silhouettes of each era evolved beyond recognition: House of Worth crinolines gave way to Vionnet's bias-cut gowns, Dior's New Look to Quant's Chelsea Look, Halston's white suit to Frankie B.'s low-rise jeans. In menswear, ready-made suits signalled the demise of bespoke tailoring, long before Hawaiian shirts, skinny ties or baggy pants entered the fore.

20th Century Fashion offers a stylish retrospective of the last hundred years, via 400 fashion advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. Using imagery culled from a century of advertising, this book documents the unrelenting pace of fashion as it was adopted into the mass culture, decade by decade. An in-depth introduction, chapter text, and illustrated timeline detail the style-makers and trendsetters, from couture to the mass market; and how the historic events, design houses, retailers, films, magazines, and celebrities shaped the way we dressed — then and now.

О книге 20th Century Fashion: 100 Years of Apparel Ads

20th Century Fashion: 100 Years of Apparel Ads - это книга о моде 20-го века, целых 100 годах культа и рекламы дизайнерской одежды. Увлекательный рассказ о том, как создавались наряды и что принято было носить в прошлом веке.

20th Century Fashion повествует о формировании современной моды – от кутюр и до массового рынка. Развитие моды в 20-ом веке начиналось в эксклюзивных Парижских салонах, которые были созданы для элиты. А превратилось в настоящую мировую индустрию, в которой работают миллионы, с новыми тенденциями и большими массовыми магазинами. Одежда стала не только подиумной.

Фирменные женские образы разных эпох менялись кардинально: кринолины Houseof Worth сдали позиции платьям Vionnet с разрезом, Dior's NewLook-уступил Quant´s Chelsea Look, белый костюм Halston сменили невысокие джинсы от Frankie B. Мужская одежда, костюмы перестали шить на заказ. Задолго до того, как вошли в моду рубашки - гавайки, тонкие галстуки и мешковатые брюки.

20th Century Fashion: 100 Yearsof Apparel Ads предлагает взглянуть в прошлый век, на примере 400 fashion объявлений из коллекции Джима Хеймана. Используя образы, навеянные веком рекламы, эта книга от издательства Taschen, описывает неуклонный темп моды. То, как она была принята массами, от десятилетия, к десятилетию.

Фолиант содержит подробное введение, много глав и большое количество иллюстраций, подробно описывают создателей стиля и законодателей моды, от кутюр и до массового рынка. А также то, как исторические события, дизайн модных домов, ритейлеры, фильмы, журналы и знаменитости формировали то, как мы одевались тогда и одеваемся сейчас.

For many centuries the collecting of precious jewels was the preserve of kings and queens, emperors and maharajahs. But in the aftermath of the First World War, with the fall of several European monarchies, royal gems passed into the hands of a different kind of elite that included celebrities from the silver screen and a coterie which revelled in a new-rich social whirl.

This book profiles eleven of these rich and glamorous women, all of whom built up astonishing jewelry collections in the early and mid-20th century. The authors, both international jewelry experts, bring to life the worlds in which these women moved, as well as describing the gems in detail and providing a portrait of the work of the leading jewelers of the day.

The book is illustrated with close-up shots of the jewels as well as wonderful drawings of the original designs, and includes portraits of the women by Beaton, Horst and other leading photographers of the time.

Special 2-for-1 offer containing the books: Girly Graphics and Tough-Style Graphics.

• Girly Graphics.
The word “girly” represents an expression of reconstructing a positive image of girls. Unverbalized “girly” images are so powerful and convey such a strong message, not only to girls but also to a broader audience in today’s world. Although many advertising pieces targeted to girls are included, the work selected for the book is not necessarily targeted to girls. Featured in this book are about 300 pieces, including posters, catalogues, shop cards, business cards, books, music CD jackets, greeting cards, letter-heads, product packages and more, all created by Japanese designers for the Japanese market, but for internationally recognized brands such as Levi Strauss, Anna Sui or Jill Stuart, among others.

• Tough-Style Graphics.
When large amounts of information are circulating around, straightforward and direct messages in graphic design are needed to deliver the right information to each specific target audience. These days we can detect designs which are able to cut off the fat from information by shaping bold graphic images. The male consumer market is increasingly growing in the world. This book shows clean cut, tough-style graphics which particularly encourage men to buy, designed with a straightforward and direct appeal. This new trend of edgy designs is currently sweeping through the creative and graphic design community.

This accessible and beautifully illustrated book brings together the most important designers who have moved fashion forward over the past century.

Fifty major fashion designers are profiled in this book in fullcolor spreads that showcase their most memorable creations. Red carpet regulars such as Armani, Prada, Calvin Klein, and Dolce & Gabbana are included, as well as the classic clothiers Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, and Oscar de La Renta. While some of these designers have designed for the masses-Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Diane von Furstenberg-others prefer the fierce over the functional: Jean-Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, and Helmut Lang, for instance. Readers will learn how the early twentieth-century designers such as Coco Chanel and André Courrèges made fashion history, and discover who's making it now: Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, and Tom Ford, to name a few. A celebration of diversity and innovation and an essential handbook to a century of fashion, this exciting and informative look into the world of style will delight readers of every taste and age.

In May 1909, Sergei Diaghilev astonished the world of dance with his first ballet presentations in Paris that demonstrated an unprecedented combination of vitality and grace, originality, and technical sophistication. This catalogue of over three hundred artworks related to the Saisons Russes between 1909 and 1929 is the official companion to an exhibition in Monte Carlo. The legendary productions are brought to life through stage designs, costumes, paintings, sculptures, photographs, and programs. The artwork comes from a wide variety of public and private collections, including the Fokine collection in the St. Petersburg Theatre Museum. Diaghilev’s scenic achievements are complemented by a number of contextual paintings, drawings, and other artifacts, which help to define Russia’s cultural renaissance of the first decades of the twentieth century. The documentary section of the catalog contains rich archival material, including letters, photographs, choreographic notes, and memoirs, many published here for the first time.

From Christian Dior to Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen, many of the greatest fashion designers of the past century have been gay.  Fashion and style have played an important role within the LGBTQ community, as well, even as early as the 18th century.  This provocative book looks at the history of fashion through a queer lens, examining high fashion as a site of gay cultural production and exploring the aesthetic sensibilities and unconventional dress of LGBTQ people, especially since the 1950s, to demonstrate the centrality of gay culture to the creation of modern fashion.  

Contributions by some of the world’s most acclaimed scholars of gay history and fashion – including Christopher Breward, Shaun Cole, Vicki Karaminas, Jonathan D. Katz, Peter McNeil, and Elizabeth Wilson – investigate topics such as the context in which key designers’ lives and works form part of a broader “gay” history; the “archeology” of queer attire back to the homosexual underworld of 18th-century Europe; and the influence of LGBTQ subcultural styles from the trouser suits worn by Marlene Dietrich (which inspired Yves Saint Laurent’s “Le Smoking”) to the iconography of leather. Sumptuous illustrations include both fashion photography and archival imagery.
