‘Glorious … the definitive account of how heels came to be at the centre of style photography … this is one book that’s both NSFW and set for pride of place on the coffee table’ – GQ

High Heels is an odyssey through images of beauty, fetish and seduction – a mixture of whimsy, allure and luxury

Lavishly illustrated with a vivid selection of images from key contemporary photographers such as Guy Bourdin, Juergen Teller, Marilyn Minter, Tim Walker, David LaChapelle, Miles Aldridge and Robert Mapplethorpe, this book explores art, fashion and fetish in the cult of high heels stalking down fashion show runways and along city streets everywhere.

Hundreds of compelling and extremely frank photographs are punctuated by essays and, most notably, interviews with two deities of shoe design, Manolo Blahník and Nicholas Kirkwood.

The introductory text by Ivan Vartanian explores the image of the fetishized high heel as a vehicle for discussing fetishes within photography in general. Among the other topics explored are ideas of aesthetics and the industry forces behind high heel design; the recent technological developments responsible for shoes’ creatively extreme forms; and high heels, gender and representation in film.

This landmark book celebrates, for the very first time, the costume designer’s contribution to the telling of the cinematic story in 100 years of Hollywood. Rocking the conventions of what is considered ‘costume’, Hollywood Costume reveals what is hidden in plain sight: that films are about people and it is the art of the costume designer who helps create those characters.

This book looks at this process of transformation by analyzing some of the finest and most eclectic costumes from the most beloved films of the last 100 years. As well as essays by a wide variety of leading scholars, archivists and private collectors, the book incorporates contributions by key costume designers, actors and directors working in Hollywood today. Fabulous golden age of Hollywood costumes are juxtaposed beside all the contemporary classics including The Tramp, Ben Hur, Cleopatra, The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, Pirates of the Caribbean, Ocean’s Eleven, Sherlock Holmes and Avatar.

About the Author:

Deborah Nadoolman Landis is the Academy Award-nominated costume designer of Coming to America. Her other costume credits include The Blues Brothers, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Michael Jackson's Thriller. Professor Landis is the David C. Copley Chair and the Founding Director of the David C. Copley Center for Costume Design at UCLA, School of Theater, Film & Television.

Hollywood Sketchbook is the first volume published on costume design illustration for the movies.

This groundbreaking book celebrates one hundred years of the costume designers' and costume illustrators' contributions to the art of cinematic storytelling.

Costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis offers us a unique perspective on the art and importance of the costume drawing. During her years of practice and research, Professor Landis has discovered a wealth of never-before-seen original sketches, published here for the first time, along with a comprehensive array of first-person anecdotes from collectors, archivists, illustrators, and designers.

Whether the film, costume designer, or star was significant or successful did not factor into the criteria for choosing the sketches in this book.

Every drawing had a chance to be included on its own merit as a work of art. Featuring a comprehensive introduction that contextualizes the rigors of costume design and a filmography that details the career highlights of each artist, Hollywood Sketchbook is the perfect gift for any lover of fine art, costume design, and the movies.

A good study of poses helps to interpret fashion illustrations, explaining above all how an item of clothing will react to any movement. Any professional artist knows that recreating depth and relative position of objects is practically impossible without the basic notions of perspective. The book explains the foundations and basic notions of perspective of drawing.

Денді повертається! Сьогодні різні чоловіки відкривають для себе сучасний дендизм і надають йому власного фірмового вигляду

У світі одноманітності та глобалізованих стилів лише деякі виховані джентльмени зберігають свою незалежність у способі одягу та життя.

У цій книзі фотограф Роуз Каллахан і письменник Натаніель «Нетті» Адамс гострим, але співчутливим поглядом документують доглянуті життя 57 героїв сучасного дендизму. Їхні ретельно складені портрети не лише зображують одяг, аксесуари та домівки їхніх суб’єктів, але й відображають суть їх стилю життя в дуже цікавих і глибоко проникливих текстах.

Різноманітність чоловіків, зображених у I am Dandy, вражає. Вони походять з різних країн, культур і соціальних кіл і заробляють на життя різними видами діяльності. Демонструючи їхні стилі, погляди та філософію в усіх їхніх нюансах, книга показує, що дендизм сьогодні — це ставлення та покликання, які можна культивувати за будь-якого бюджету.

Навіть сьогодні чоловіки, які присвячують себе найкращим речам у житті — особливо коли це стосується моди — здебільшого викликають підозру. Марнославство сприймається несхвально, а пишний догляд зазвичай вважається поверхневим або нечоловічим. На щастя, невеликий, але наполегливий рух кидає виклик цьому соціальному диктату вже понад 200 років. Її прихильники віддається своїй любові до якісного одягу та аксесуарів не лише приватно, а й публічно.

Фотограф Роуз Каллахан і письменник Натаніель Адамс витратили роки на дослідження захоплюючого феномену дендизму. Вони відвідують сучасних денді в їхніх домівках, щоб задокументувати їхнє бездоганно сплановане життя як словами, так і образами. Доглянуті до кінчиків борід, одягнені в костюми-трійки з бездоганно складеними кишеньковими хустинками та м’якими дитячими рукавичками, їхні герої відроджують чарівність минулого та показують, що культивоване неробство може бути неймовірно важкою працею.

Ці галантні красуні вперше з’явилися на сцені у вісімнадцятому столітті в Лондоні та Парижі, де вони забезпечували життя багатьом місцевим кравцям. Сучасні денді продовжують поширювати образ, який характеризується підстриженими бородами, помадою, оксамитовими тапочками та навіть легким макіяжем як щитом, щоб приховати темні сторони життя. Проте на своїх ретельно складених портретах Каллахан і Адамс виявляють тріщини на цьому фасаді. Вони описують жертви, на які доводиться йти багатьом штатним денді, переслідуючи свої особисті естетичні ідеали.

Притулок для ексцентриків, дендизм пережив відродження в англо-американському царстві протягом останніх кількох років. Наприклад, сучасні знатні джентльмени можуть покататися на своїх вінтажних велосипедах по Лондону під час Tweed Run, щоб продемонструвати своє автентичне вбрання, або відвідати вечірку Jazz Age Lawn Party на Губернаторському острові Нью-Йорка, щоб повернути до життя епоху Великого Гетсбі, хоча б на кілька годин. Тепер це явище знову стає все більш міжнародним.

Витончений дует Каллахана та Адамса, відомий своїми Dandy Portraits, підходить до своєї теми — і до своїх героїв — із гострим, але співчутливим оком. У цій книзі вони вдало відобразили стилі, погляди та філософію сучасного дендизму в усіх його відтінках.

Про авторів:

Роуз Каллахан – фотограф і кінорежисер із Брукліну, Нью-Йорк. Родом із Сан-Франциско, штат Каліфорнія, Роуз у 1999 році переїхала до району Вільямсбург у Брукліні, щоб зайнятися фотографією. У 2008 році вона розпочала «Портрети Денді: життя вишуканих джентльменів сьогодні» як особистий проект, щоб розповісти детальну історію надзвичайної чоловічої елегантності, яка живе сьогодні. Роуз виявив, що сучасні денді не є згуртованою субкультурою чи віросповіданням; радше, кожен чоловік є надзвичайно незалежним арбітром щодо того, що означає бути джентльменом і жити зі стилем.

Натаніель «Нетті» Адамс — письменник із Нью-Йорка та керівник ательє чоловічого одягу Against Nature. Його дисертація на бакалавраті Нью-Йоркського університету була присвячена дендизму 20-го століття, і, будучи студентом Вищої школи журналістики Колумбійського університету, він написав книгу про історію дендізму, за яку отримав престижну стипендію Лінтона. Адамс використав кошти гранту, щоб подорожувати Америкою, Європою та Африкою, зустрічаючись із найкраще одягненими чоловіками світу та беручи інтерв’ю.

Every dress begins with a drawing, every skirt with a sketch.

Following an introduction by illustration expert Steven Heller, the historical essay by art and fashion historian Adelheid Rasche provides an in-depth exploration of the subject. Looking back to the 17th century, she draws a timeline of fashion illustration until today, accompanied by images such as an early etching by François Watteau, a drawing by Paul Iribe for the book of the famous Parisian couturier Paul Poiret, and illustrations by the highly acclaimed masters of modern fashion illustration René Gruau and Antonio Lopez, as well as, from more recent years, François Berthoud.
