Founded in 1913, Prada has evolved into a brand with a unique ability to embed thought-provoking, clever ideas in totally pleasurable objects — from shoes and bags to coats, dresses, and skirts, the clothing makes a statement. And Pradasphere — both in its package and content — does the same.

Pradasphere is a collection of archival objects arranged to reveal the complex, often- intertwined obsessions of one of the world’s most influential designers. The book takes you on an aesthetic journey that spans the past 30 years. Exclusive photographs of clothing and accessories illustrate Prada’s design narrative and show the exquisite craftsmanship and materials behind the creations. Pradasphere also explores Prada’s culture, including advertising photography, architecture, and commissioned films by directors such as Wes Anderson and Ridley Scott.

Since its origins in the 1970s, punk has had an incendiary influence on fashion. With its eclectic mixing of stylistic references, punk effectively introduced the postmodern concept of bricolage not only into directional ready-to-wear but also into the elevated precincts of the haute couture. As a style, punk was about chaos, anarchy, and rebellion. Drawing upon a corpus of sexual and political imagery that was deliberately intended to shock, provoke, and confront, punks made fashion overtly hostile and threatening. This aesthetic of violence - even of cruelty - was intrinsic to the clothes themselves, which were often customized with rips, tears, and slashes and such savage and sadistic hardware as studs, spikes, chains, buckles, zippers, D-Rings, padlocks, safety pins, and razor blades.

"PUNK: Chaos to Couture" examines the impact of punk's aesthetic of brutality on high fashion, focusing especially on its do-it-yourself, rip-it-to-shreds ethos, the antithesis of couture's made-to-measure exactitude. Indeed, punk's democracy stands in direct opposition to fashion's autocracy in which trends are driven by the artistic expression of the designer rather than by the dictates of the wearer. Yet as this book reveals, even the haute couture has readily appropriated the visual and symbolic language of punk, replacing beads with studs, paillettes with safety pins, and feathers with razor blades in its attempt to capture and reflect the style's youthful rebelliousness and aggressive forcefulness.

Focusing on high fashion's embrace of punk's aesthetic vocabulary, this extraordinarily designed and produced book reveals how the quintessential anti-establishment style has been co-opted, exploited, and transformed by designers in their search for new ideals of beauty and new definitions of fashionability.

The landmark volume celebrating the life and work of Ralph Lauren, now available in a smaller, more portable edition.

With 50 years’ experience collecting vintage street fashion, costume designer, stylist and former mod, the author, supplied original mod clothing for the 1978 cult film Quadrophenia, before establishing the Contemporary Wardrobe Collection, to provide street fashion for TV and Film.

The archive now exceeds some 20 thousand items and serves as a valuable resource for leading fashion and film stylists, designers and important museums around the world. Rebel Threads is prerequisite for all lovers of vintage clothing, collectors, fashion students, designers, costumiers and anyone fascinated by the history of street style.

В 1972 году Кавалли провёл свой первый показ мод в знаменитом флорентийском особняке Палаццо Пити. С этого момента его характерные принты-рисунки на шелке, замше и коже раз и навсегда вошли в моду. Книга «Roberto Cavalli» пестрит иллюстрациями роскошных показов, ставших классикой, наряду с новыми фешн-фотографиями от звездного дуэта Мерта Аласа и Маркуса Пигготта под художественным руководством Фабьена Барона - одного из самых влиятельных представителей европейской модной индустрии. Вы найдете здесь также ошеломительные образы, разработанные первым авторитетом в индустрии моды – Мари-Амели Сове – для супермоделей, блистающих на подиумах сегодня, и звезд прошлого века. Вот только некоторые имена: Дарья Вербова, Анджела Линдвалл, Кейт Мосс, Жизель Бюндхен, Кэролин Мёрфи, Синди Кроуфорд, Хайди Клум. Книга содержит помимо этого комментарии знаменитостей, киноактрис, музыкантов, выигравших «Грэмми». 

Лейбл «Кавалли» не только является символом изысканной сексуальности, но и индикатором вечно изменчивых определений гламура, и остается сегодня в мире одним из первых действительно признанных брендов. Само имя – Роберто Кавалли - стало синонимом гламура и принтов. А его пламенный итальянский стиль по-прежнему очаровывает и удивляет весь мир. Кавалли, который предпочитает, чтобы его называли не "дизайнером", а "модным художником", создает линию мужской, женской и детской одежды, аксессуары, оптику, часы, парфюм, нижнее белье и пляжную одежду. Его бутики открыты в 50 странах по всему миру.

Доходы от продажи книги «Roberto Cavalli» будут пожертвованы в фонд борьбы со СПИДом amfAR.

From Louis XIV, a shoe aficionado of the Baroque Age, to the latest club-hopping progeny of the British royalty, this colorful survey of aristocratic fashion through the ages will delight royal watchers of every generation.

The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton helped reclaim the fashion credibility of Britain’s royal family, ushering in a generation of hip but genial personalities that appeal to every age and station. But royals have been setting fashion trends for centuries. This fascinating overview of aristocratic icons reaches back to the middle age, and from Europe to the Middle East, to profile the most renowned promoters of elegance and style ever to don their empires’ crowns. Author and royals watcher Luise Wackerl juxtaposes the fifteenth-century Duke of Burgundy’s penchant for black with Elizabeth I’s taste for virginal white. She presents history’s first “It Girls”: Marie Antoinette, Louisa of Prussia, Empresses Sisi of Austria and Eugenie of France. She relates how Queen Victoria’s sorrow and propriety transformed her country, and how an impeccably styled American’s love for Edward VIII upended the British monarchy. From the irreproachably elegant styles of Grace Kelly to Lady Diana, Jordan’s Queen Rania to Princess Letizia of Spain we move on to the newest icons, the Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York, whose faces and party antics grace the tabloids on a weekly basis.

Hundreds of photos and a lively text make this irresistible reading for anyone interested in fashion, royalty, and the lively intersection of both worlds.
