Книги з флористики

Perfectly attuned to the realities of modern-day living, this elegant book is the only guide that you need to stylish and stress-free entertaining.

Entertaining should be a source of joy, not anxiety, especially in an age in which conspicuous luxury is no longer considered the height of sophistication.
Fusing understated European elegance with the dramatic Asian aesthetics of her Hong Kong home, Marie France Van Damme reveals the secrets of successful entertainment.

You don’t need to know how to cook – not even a little bit. You don’t need family silver, fancy china or an expensive venue. With just a little bit of effort and imagination – and a few very simple guidelines – even the most ordinary evening can become a memorable, magical occasion.

Chapters on Flowers, Candles, The Table, Food and Art – show how to create beautiful decorations, elegant food and exquisite ambience without unnecessary worry or expense.

Each chapter finishes with actual events – a winter birthday party; a lavish formal celebration; even an unconventional Christmas dinner on a deserted Thai beach. An informal afternoon tea with family becomes an elegant, comforting ritual.

Each of these events has been beautifully photographed by Herbert Ypma, the bestselling author behind the Hip Hotels series

Artist, collector, and entertaining guru Cathy Graham shares her secrets for gracious living and memorable get-togethers in Second Bloom. 

Graham covers the essential elements that make every event shine – flowers, paper components, table setting, and food presentation. Quentin Bacon’s photographs of a seaside gathering, a casual cocktail party, or a lively dinner in honor of a friend show how to achieve winning possibilities with ease. Approaching life with a sense of whimsy, Graham demonstrates how to arrange flowers and create original touches, such as hand-drawn one-of kind invitations or her practice of scattering collectable miniatures on her dinner tables. Filled with Graham’s charming sketches, Second Bloom shows how to create truly special occasions.

Імператор не лише моди, а й мистецтва життя, Валентино Гаравані — це людина окрема категорія. At the Emperor’s Table — це запрошення у його вишуканий світ витонченого та культурного життя.

Чудова колекція сервіровок та предметів мистецтва, що розміщена в його п'яти резиденціях у Гштааді, Лондоні, Римі, Нью-Йорку та Парижі, а також на його яхті, передає велич, у якій він живе, і представлена ​​в цьому першому виданні з фотографіями Оберто Гілі. Також включені рецепти особистих кухарів пана Гаравані, які наближають читачів до відкриття його надзвичайного оточення.

Assouline представляє VALENTINO: At the Emperor’s Table — приголомшливу візуальну та письмову розповідь, яка вводить у світ відомого модельєра Валентино Гаравані, імператора не лише моди, а й мистецтва життя.

Як пише у вступі модний редактор і друг Андре Леон Таллі: «Валентіно Гаравані оформлює свої обіди та вечері в усіх своїх домівках так само, як він створював крещендо та allegros vivace протягом своєї понад сорокарічної кар'єри одного з найвидатніших дизайнерів високої моди та лідерів високої моди у світі».

Краса та розваги давно є пристрастю Валентино. «Я закоханий у красу», – зізнається він на початку книги. «Я завжди любив красиві предмети». Хоча окрім матеріальних предметів мистецтва, що розміщені в кожній з його резиденцій, досконалість Валентино як господаря визначається теплом і радістю, які він створює для своїх гостей.
