Famous for the "bias cut", Madeleine Vionnet’s sophisticated approach to couture remains a pervasive influence today.

Eschewing artificial and restrictive padding and stiffening, she liberated the female form with designs that integrated movement and comfort into women’s fashion. She also championed unusual fabrics that were luxurious and sensual yet simple and modern - chiffon, silk, crêpe de chine, gabardine, and satin. Her most revolutionary creations - the handkerchief dress, cowl neck, and halter top - cling to and seamlessly move with the wearer. Vionnet’s principles of elegance, movement, architectural form, and timeless style continue to inform contemporary fashion.

This lavishly illustrated book showcases Vionnet’s daringly original designs worn by 80 internationally famous models photographed especially for this book alongside original patterns and archival images by such icons as Horst and Steichen.

This “spectacular tribute to a designer of breathtaking grace and originality” (Threads) is the definitive volume on the legendary Madeleine Vionnet’s life and work.

Now back in print with a fresh new cover, this reissue marks the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the House of Vionnet and the revival of the Vionnet brand. Lavishly illustrated in over 400 photographs, sketches, and with complete patterns for 30 of the most influential designs of this architect among dressmakers, this exquisite volume is an essential reference for fashion students and a vibrant portrait of a grande dame of 20th-century couture.

Закінчивши Королівську академію образотворчого мистецтва в Антверпені у 1980-х роках, Мартін Маргіела (та його сучасники з «Антверпенської шістки») змінили світову моду своїм агресивним повторенням традиційного модного дизайну та полемічним підходом до тенденцій розкоші. Працюючи спочатку з будинком Gaultier, Маргіела ввібрав радикальний дизайн японської деконструкції, зробивши його цілком власним із заснуванням власного бренду в 1988 році. Маргіела пропонує особливий, загадковий вигляд, виходячи за межі впізнаваних тропів деконструкції - монохроматичної палітри, великогабаритного одягу, нетрадиційних тканин, відкритих швів або грубо апліковані деталі - щоб розвинути повністю продуманий світогляд, який однаково поєднує елегантність, таємницю та загрозу.

Ця книга пропонує внутрішній погляд на процес дизайну від майстра, який створює речі, які цінуються за їх оригінальність, делікатність і сміливість. У дусі одягу Маргіели книга сама по собі є витвором мистецтва, розроблена ексклюзивно Маргіелою та доповнена сріблястими чорнилами, маркерами на стрічках, різними типами пишного паперу, дванадцятьма буклетами та вишитою обкладинкою з білого льону. Ця книга відкриває вікно в інтимний світ ручної роботи унікального дизайнера.

Men and Style reaches beyond standard “what to wear” advice: it is equal parts style guide and intriguing conversation about masculine identity in the world of fashion. 

The book offers a much-needed source of inspiration for the growing number of men who enjoy expressing who they are through their clothes, manners and lifestyle. Explore the history of men’s style and learn from the personal wisdom of some of the most notable tastemakers in the industry and beyond. 

The book addresses everything from the importance of ties to where to drink in New Orleans to the worst corsage ever worn to a prom. Coggins shares his thoughts on clothes, manners (and misbehaviour) and other gentlemanly concerns, including premature gray, socks or no socks, facial hair, corporate dressing, the difficulties of gift giving and other subjects that men want to discuss and are seeking a forum to do so.

Alone in a Crowd is an extension of Giuseppe Santamaria's successful first books Men In This Town and Women In This Town.

In this, his third book, his focus is once again on men's fashion, but seasonally based - winter (polka dots - representing snow flakes) and summer (pin stripes - representing sunbeams). He has once again travelled broadly to capture candid street shots of men in Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, London, Paris, Florence, Madrid, New York and LA.

The book also includes written profiles, in the form of mini interviews on style and fashion choices, with men in different cities and notes on his subjects different style directions.

Men of Style explores the best-dressed men of recent centuries: from actors to statesmen, playboys to painters, the iconic and the more unexpected. The book comprises profiles of their colourful lives, sartorial, and personal, explaining too how they have shaped menswear today.

The core focus of the book is not only the story of men’s style, but the men who embody it and act as its most inspiring exemplars. A useful book for students of fashion history, followers of celebrity and stylish men alike.

A celebration of the unmistakable Missoni style, whose innovative approach mixes bold color, pattern, and material with an extraordinary sense of balance and elegance.

This is the first fully comprehensive book about Missoni, created with full access to the archives and with the support of the Missoni family. Lavishly designed, it features reproductions of Missoni patterns printed on special material and stitched into the binding between signatures along with other special features.

This volume was conceived as a design object, in which images, texts, original fabrics, drawings, color palettes, and fashion patterns speak to one another. Missoni celebrates an elegance that has become an artistic expression as well as something of a cultural and fashion revolution since the early 1950s, when Rosita and Ottavio Missoni began their creative journey into fashion and art, with a talent for experimentation that never betrayed the spirit of their origins in the decades to come.

Divided into thematic sections, each is introduced by an essay including quotes by the Missonis themselves, highlighting the artistic decisions that contributed to the success and recognizability of their fashion house.

With previously unpublished material from both the family and the company archives, this volume is a look into the creative and artistic world of Missoni.
