The first and only book to showcase a complete sartorial history of the Oscars' red carpet

The red carpet is so much more than fabulous gowns on famous people. It reflects the styles and values of the time, and has become a platform for often trenchant social statements. Red Carpet: Oscars presents over ninety years of fashion worn at the awards ceremony since its inception in 1929. From ready-to-wear to haute couture, it charts what stars and invitees wore across the decades, as well as the emergence of stylists, the commercialization of the red carpet and how fashion has shaped Hollywood.

The book opens with a foreword by Cate Blanchett and an introduction by Giorgio Armani, and then goes on to showcase hundreds of looks across almost a century. Each year is introduced with a short text explaining the era's fashion trends as well as the social and political influences of the day, along with carefully curated images of the most iconic and inspiring outfits.

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.

Fashion and portrait photographer Sheila Metzner presents her life’s work, including her intimate family portraits in 1960s Woodstock, fashion editorials, nudes, and sacred landscapes.

This exquisite volume presents more than 300 photographs accompanied by the groundbreaking artist’s enchanting stories of the inspirations behind her critically acclaimed work. The first female art director at Doyle Dane Bernbach advertising agency in the 1960s, Sheila Metzner became a photographer while raising five children. In 1978, one of Metzner’s portraits became the hit of a controversial exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art; gallery shows and assignments from Alexander Liberman at Vogue soon followed. At a time when Avedon, Penn, and Piel commandeered its pages, Metzner became the first female photographer to receive steady work from Vogue. Always pushing artistic boundaries, Metzner’s distinctive photographic aesthetic soon positioned her as a contemporary master not only in fashion photography but also in fine art, portraiture, still life, and landscape.

With memoir-like vignettes that accompany her photos, this book is a deeply personal look at the artist’s career as a peer to fashion and film luminaries such as Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon. Featuring her renowned fashion editorials and acclaimed fine-art photography, this volume will appeal to both fashion and photography lovers.

About the Author:

Sheila Metzner’s photographs are featured in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the International Center of Photography, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and more. She has published four books. Hunter Drohojowska-Philp is author of numerous books M. Raven Metzner is a television producer and screenwriter.

One of the most famous and popular photographers of his time, Jeanloup Sieff photographed some of the most beautiful women and men of his era.

This wide-ranging collection of his work captures some of Jeanloup Sieff’s most famous photographs spanning a career of nearly 40 years. These nudes and fashion shots portray more than beautiful bodies draped, or not, with beautiful clothes; Sieff’s personal interest in whatever lay before his camera, and his continually evolving style, render these photographs pieces of art. Whether his assignment was for »Glamour«, »Vogue«, or »Harper’s Bazaar«; whether his subject was Yves Montand, Rudolf Nureyev, Twiggy, or Catherine Deneuve, Sieff was never afraid to take chances with location, equipment, lighting, or convention. Rounding out this exciting monograph are texts from his favorite models as well as essays by Frank Horvarth and »Purple Magazine’s« editor Olivier Zahm.

This unprecedented volume documents the revolutionary work of African American fashion designer Stephen Burrows — celebrating some of the most innovative and vibrant years in American Fashion.

In the late 1960s, New York was the epicenter of creative vitality and artistic expression, when, as Phyllis Magidson writes in this book’s introduction, “Clothing became a masquerade, Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain a costume party, weekends a perpetual Halloween.” This was the New York City that Stephen Burrows embraced as his own, and it would inspire him to create clothes that would help revolutionize American Fashion and further solidify its credibility abroad.

This unprecedented volume documents Burrows’ creative output during the formative and at once incendiary years of 1968 to 1983. Each of the book’s four essays offers a unique perspective into the work of an artist at the height of his creative powers: Daniela Morera presents a perspective from abroad focusing on a new kind of femininity characterized by the freedom of Burrows’ clothes — light and fluid fabrics and an instinctive sense of color, inspired by the music and dance culture of the ’70s and ’80s; Glenn O’Brien explores the reciprocity between Burrows’ designs and the New York City art scene, partying with Warhol and the Studio 54-going elite; how Burrows got from Newark to Fifth Avenue, and from Fifth Avenue to Seventh, is the subject of Laird Persson’s essay; while Magidson’s introduction is a vivid depiction of the renegade clothing environment of the New York City of the late 1960s, that is, the creative landscape in which Burrows began his career. Richly illustrated with effusive photographs and many never-before-seen drawings, the book also includes a rare interview between Burrows and Morera.

This first full-career monograph, featuring two decades of iconic fashion and celebrity editorial photographs, reveals the enormous influence and impact that Richardson has made on contemporary style, culture, and photography. 

Since Terry Richardson first rose to prominence in the 1990s, he was shocked and intrigued the world with his singular view and signature style of bold lighting, hypersexualized styling, and striking, off-kilter glamour. From glossy, high-end fashion photographs to raw in-studio portraits, Richardson’s work has had an unmistakable impact on contemporary visual culture. 

This much-anticipated monograph is the first to cover Richardson’s complete career to date. It chronicles more than twenty years of photographs, advertising campaigns, and editorial work, revealing the evolution of Richardson’s style, an unexpected mix of glamour and rawness. 

This two-volume set, which is separated into Richardson’s fashion photography and celebrity portraiture, features more than 600 photographs and includes early, rarely seen magazine work from now-defunct publications; iconic and influential work for magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, The Face, i-D, Vice, and Interview; advertising work for brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Chloé, and A.P.C.; and very intimate studio portraits. 

This compilation is an intriguing look at the mark Richardson’s work has made on fashion, photography, and pop culture, and it captures his edgy, provocative style in a book that is as unusual and unforgettable as the photographer himself.
