Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is a designer who knows how to dress women with courage and creativity. And for his somewhat unorthodox tastes, he has been nicknamed “King of the Unconventional.” After developing a collection for his mother’s fashion house in 1968, he started his own label in 1978. Since then, he has launched countless successful collections and struck up partnerships with the most unlikely people. Whether it’s robes for the Pope, costumes for the Woody Allen film Annie Hall, or clothes for TV series such as Charlie’s Angels and Sex and the City — for decades, de Castelbajac has been a style and fashion pioneer. Even better, he has always managed to fuse fashion with art, as evidenced by his partnerships with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Take a look behind the scenes at this fashion legend and learn about how this artist got his start and his ongoing history of success.

 - A very private look into the life and work of an exceptional designer
 - With commentary from Jean-Charles de Castelbajac himself, as well as many personal letters from his celebrity clients

She was a creature of contrasts: there was the Chanel of rococo mirrors and playful jewellery; but also the Chanel of the tailored suit, of the utmost restraint; of classicism à la française.
The jewellery that Chanel created presents one of the least-known aspects of her work: in complement to her ‘costume jewellery’, she invented jewellery that was unparalleled in luxury and refinement and unfettered in its imagination.

Using illustrations and documents, many of them previously unpublished, and based on archival research and interviews with Chanel’s colleagues and other witnesses of her life and career, this book presents her passion for fabulous jewels and improbable marvels.

A striking tribute to John Galliano's highly creative collections for his eponymous label (1996–2011), captured behind the scenes by American Vogue photographer Robert Fairer

Robert Fairer – American Vogue’s exclusive backstage photographer for over a decade – opens up his archive to unveil stunning photographs that were, until now, one of fashion’s best-kept secrets.

Presenting John Galliano’s creations for his eponymous label (1996–2011), John Galliano: Unseen celebrates the visionary and exquisitely multi-layered collections that acted as a showcase for the designer’s romantic, theatrical, radical ideas, granting rare behind-the-scenes access to a highly charged world of fantasy, collaboration and beauty.

Years after her discovery at age fourteen at New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport and her quick ascent to the top of the supermodeling world and choice luxury-brand figurehead, Kate Moss represents an unusual success story: that of a middle-class teenager who became one of the best-paid models in the world with no apparent effort. Hers is a story of endless reinvention: more than twenty years later, despite tabloid scandals, drug use, rehab, and tumultuous high-profile romances, Kate Moss appears before us as a fresh creation each time, an ideal subject able to adapt to any circumstance, recast herself ceaselessly through self-staging and self-narration, and make the world fall in love with her over and over again.

In Kate Moss: The Making of an Icon, Christian Salmon’s insightful text, accompanied by more than sixty gorgeous images, explores this phenomenon - the story of an icon, a muse, a legend, an enigma - and how our culture has created the collective Kate Moss myth.

An extraordinary collectible, Kenzo creatively presents forty years of the Paris-based fashion house, founded by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada and now in a resurgence under artistic director Antonio Marras.

Established in 1970 by Kenzo Takada, who had arrived in Paris from Japan in 1965, Kenzo is one of the great French houses that transformed global fashion in the latter half of the twentieth century. Now under the artistic directorship of Antonio Marras, KENZO has again achieved critical and popular acclaim. Marras draws from the rich vein of Kenzo tradition as it engages the spirit of the new century. Armed with an unmatched vocabulary in prints and textiles, Marras mines both East and West, the present and the past, to create a collection that evokes, reveres, and reinvents the intentions of its founder.

The highlights of Takada’s tenure until his retirement in 1999 are also documented here. The first monograph on KENZO, this lavish volume comes in a real fabric cover, available in three different patterns, and with a pop-up that evokes the romantic textiles, envelopes, and paper craft for which the house’s fashion collection invitations are known.  Additional special features include three double-sided double gatefolds, folding out to the equivalent of eight pages, and three accordian gatefolds, folding out to five pages.  This book is truly an art object in and of itself.

Kylie/Fashion — це офіційна книга, яка відзначає двадцять п’ять років відтоді, як Кайлі вийшла на музичну сцену з «Locomotion» та «I Should Be So Lucky».

З самого початку одяг, який вона носила, був ключовим для образа та виступів Кайлі. Її статус ікони стилю неприступний. У цій чудовій книзі розповідається про її численні та новаторські співпраці з відомими світовими дизайнерами одягу.

Створений Кайлі та спираючись на її особисті архіви, він демонструє Кайлі в усі її ключові модні моменти, будь то інженю в золотих трусах для «Світлових років», супергероїня гейші/манги в епоху «Х» або грецький крилатий посланець для «Афродіти».

Куратором Вільяма Бейкера, визнаного креативного директора Кайлі, та представленого Жаном Полем Готьє, книга також містить спеціально написані тексти деяких із найважливіших дизайнерів і стилістів, з якими Кайлі працювала протягом своєї кар’єри, зокрема Доменіко Дольче та Стефано Габбана, Крістіана Лубутена, Жульєна Макдональда, Стелли Маккартні, Лаудомії Пуччі, візажиста Кабукі та фотограф Стефан Седнауї. Сама Кайлі надає додаткові коментарі та післямову.

Au moment où la mode est devenue un art, il faut qu’une gazette de la mode soit elle-même un journal d’art. Telle sera "La Gazette du Bon Ton". Les artistes les plus exquis composeront pour elle leurs pages les plus délicieuses, les Chéruit, Dœuillet, Doucet, Paquin, Poiret, Redfern, Worth – ces inventeurs de chefs-d’œuvre qui ont fait la mode française, l’admiration et l’envie de l’univers – lui réserveront la primeur de leurs créations.

“Ainsi, on y trouvera, d’une part, les derniers modèles sortis des ateliers de la rue de la Paix, et d’autre part dans les aquarelles des peintures cet esprit de la mode, cette interprétation charmante et hardie qui leur appartient. Les artistes sont aujourd’hui pour une part les inventeurs de la mode : que ne doit-elle pas à un Iribe, qui introduit la simplicité des lignes et le goût oriental, à un Drian, à un Bakst, à un portraitiste épris de la souplesse et du raffinement des étoffes comme Antonio de la Gandara?

On trouvera donc dans chaque numéro de "La Gazette du Bon Ton", à côté de sept planches hors texte qui sont des modèles créés par les couturiers, trois planches qui sont des modèles inventés par les artistes. Et cette revue sera en même temps une œuvre d’art, on a voulu que tout y plût aux yeux, papier, format, caractères, textes, illustrations, les modèles de couturiers ne seront pas de simples reproductions, ce seront de véritables portraits de robes, peints et dessinés par de subtils artistes de notre temps...”

When it comes to dress, less can most definitely be more. In this striking new book, journalist Harriet Walker surveys one of the most wide-reaching movements in fashion. Minimalism has its roots in the early twentieth century, when women’s clothes became pared down and practical after centuries of complex construction. Walker reviews the work of designers who, over the decades, have adopted minimalist principles in their work, from Coco Chanel, who liberated women from Edwardian formal dress, to Donna Karan and Jil Sander, whose workwear offered women a feminine but credible alternative to power dressing; and from the avant-garde style of Japanese masters Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto to contemporary interpretations by Gareth Pugh, Roland Mouret, COS and Zara. With 250 colour illustrations, including specially commissioned photographs, Less is More is the engaging story of an abiding aesthetic that has subtly shaped modern fashion.
