Moda

Quando Virgil Abloh fez sua primeira reverência para a Louis Vuitton em junho de 2018, a moda mudou para sempre. A mais nova adição à Classics Collection, Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh homenageia a criatividade inovadora do designer dentro e fora das passarelas. Com mais de 250 imagens incrivelmente icônicas e reflexões pessoais do círculo interno de Abloh, incluindo Nigo, Naomi Campbell, Luka Sabbat, Kendall Jenner e Kid Cudi, o livro é a crônica definitiva de uma parceria que redefiniu não apenas os códigos de vestimenta, mas também seu próprio vocabulário.

De ternos elegantes e relógios cult a vestidos glamourosos e trajes de banho que roubam a cena, James Bond Style explora a moda atemporal em todos os vinte e cinco filmes de Bond, não apenas do próprio 007 ao longo das eras, mas também de seus inimigos, interesses amorosos e colegas. A figurinista vencedora do Oscar Lindy Hemming, que trabalhou em cinco filmes de Bond, escreveu o texto e as legendas do livro, além de contribuir para a direção criativa e seleção de fotos. O livro também inclui uma introdução de Dylan Jones OBE, editor-chefe do London Evening Standard.

O livro é separado por Bonds em ordem cronológica, ou seja, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan e Daniel Craig, cada capítulo preenchido com os looks mais icônicos dos filmes dos atores, de Dr. No a No Time To Die. Além disso, há amplos insights e histórias dos bastidores, tanto dos figurinistas que trabalharam em todos os filmes quanto dos verdadeiros designers por trás das roupas — pense em: Donatella Versace, Tom Ford e Jenny Packham — além de uma série de atores, de Pierce Brosnan e Daniel Craig a Michelle Yeoh e Grace Jones. Essas anedotas revelam a escala do negócio que é o estilo Bond, por exemplo, trinta e três smokings Tom Ford sob medida foram feitos para No Time To Die em tempo recorde (e recebidos apenas vinte e quatro horas antes das filmagens), enquanto em Quantum Of Solace, a Prada fabricou vinte vestidos para Olga Kurylenko — como ela usou a peça durante a maior parte do filme, eles precisavam de um vestido para cada estágio da ação, de novo em folha a coberto de poeira e arruinado.

E todos os momentos mais memoráveis ??estão lá dentro, como Ursula Andress emergindo das ondas naquele famoso biquíni branco, às homenagens àquela cena: Halle Berry em um maiô laranja chocante La Perla em Die Another Day, e, em uma tomada completamente não planejada e agora completamente viral, Daniel Craig, também em La Perla, em uma praia das Bahamas em Casino Royale (um dos calções usados ??foi leiloado mais tarde por £ 44.450).

Graças aos seus esboços nunca antes vistos, análise detalhada da moda e extensa pesquisa pelo arquivista oficial da série, estamos confiantes em dizer que nenhum livro na história registrou o aspecto sartorial da franquia Bond tão abrangentemente quanto James Bond Style, também conhecido como a bíblia definitiva do estilo Bond.

 Em 2002, Simon “Woody” Wood estava inventando esquemas para conseguir tênis de graça. Duas semanas depois, ele era o orgulhoso proprietário da Sneaker Freaker e sua vida nunca mais foi a mesma.

Desde suas primeiras raízes como uma fanzine de estilo punk até as atuais operações impressas e on-line, a publicação ferozmente independente documentou todas as colaborações, customizações, edições limitadas, reedições retrô, tênis Quickstrike, Hyperstrike e Tier Zero lançados nos últimos 20 anos.

A premissa original de Woody de que Sneaker Freaker seria “engraçado e sério, significativo e inútil ao mesmo tempo” certamente foi justificada no The Ultimate Sneaker Book. Com mais de 500 páginas repletas de conhecimento interno e suas próprias observações irreverentes, os detalhes históricos insanos e as minúcias de nível otaku estão além da obsessão.

Atravessando 100 anos de história, cada capítulo pinta um quadro divertido da evolução da indústria de tênis. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown e Michael Jordan – junto com tesouros obscuros como Troop, Airwalk e Vision Street Wear – estão todos exaustivamente documentados.

Esta é uma fonte definitiva de conhecimento. Este é… O livro definitivo sobre tênis!

An indispensable survey of the most important archival collections assembled by fashion's key players.
In order for fashion to march forward, it must possess the ability to look back. For the fashion obsessed, one's archive is surely a testament to the act of preservation and, of course, a sophisticated symbol of taste. Archives take time to build, wardrobes or storage units packed to the brim with rare, archival shoes, dresses, and handbags, some never worn, are only perfected after countless hours spent on Ebay and in the depths of obscured vintage sales. The results end up being remarkable representations of fashion history.

This book gathers the preeminent collections of archival obsessives, capturing the closets of an impressive list of fashion and design talent. Readers will get an in-depth look at Michèle Lamy's extensive Comme des Garçon archive, Sarah Andelman's covetable (and colorful) sneaker and t-shirt collection, ENDYMA's growing Helmut Lang archive, Zaha Hadid's fabulous footwear assemblage, and more. This tome, over 300 pages long, painstakingly showcases the subject's archive while showing off top-tier labels and hard-to-obtain seasons: Issey Miyake, Maison Martin Margiela, Thierry Mugler, John Galliano, and Alexander McQueen, among others, and serves as an indispensable reference for those interested in fashion history and building their own archive.

Essays throughout by leading thinkers and writers provide insightful commentary alongside each collection featured in this new, enlightening fashion bible.

To tell the story of contemporary American culture is to tell the story of hip hop. From its humble, underground origins, hip hop transcended the confines of rap music and spread its influence across a broad spectrum of American life – fashion, film, art, sports, politics, language – to become a cultural movement of profound influence.

Rapper’s Deluxe is a critical contribution to America’s cultural canon, shining a light on hip hop’s ability to redefine and influence culture, through: photographs; fine art; advertisements; book, magazine, and album covers; film stills; and more. Organized chronologically from the 1970s to the present, image-rich and dynamic layouts show the people, places, events, objects, outfits, and inspirations that redefined the world as we know it – from fur-coated fans lining up for a Muhammad Ali fight at Madison Square Garden to a legendary party in the “Boogie Down” Bronx, through the hoods of South Los Angeles and the trap houses of Atlanta to the extravagant red carpet looks of the Met Gala.

Drawing on a broad range of curated examples, Dr. Todd Boyd re-examines hip hop’s legacy and how the genre remixes ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture, past and present, to come up with a style that is uniquely its own. Filled with original insights and clever wordplay, Rapper’s Deluxe is a tale of transformation,  following hip hop’s arduous, but always triumphant, journey as it rose up to dominate the game.

Fashion Faux Parr showcases Martin Parr’s collection of fashion photography for the first time in one book. More than 250 color images, many previously unpublished, explore a wide variety of fashion work, from editorial collaborations with major magazines and houses, including Vogue, Balenciaga, and Gucci, to candid photographs from behind the scenes at major fashion events and portraits of industry icons.

Two essays by influential fashion industry personalities Patrick Grant and Tabitha Simmons offer commentary on Parr’s unique view on the fashion world and set it within a wider context. This is the only book dedicated to Martin Parr’s highly original take on fashion, including both commissioned and personal photographs, as well as facsimiles of his published features in Vogue and other international fashion magazines.

After moving from Manhattan to Milan 20 years ago, with no job, no friends, and no patience for the Italian way of life, J.J. Martin realized she had no option but to surrender to the vibrant but slow-paced lifestyle. In so doing, she discovered more joy (and success) than she could ever have imagined.

In this uplifting volume, Martin invites us to jump on board and join her on her journey--an outsider's evolution through life, love, loss, creativity, and magic--to today's beloved "Milano." Dive into the delights of Italian fashion, food, and good living; meet some of Italy's leading female tastemakers (the "La DoubleJ Babes"); tap into Martin's spiritual secrets for unleashing inner creativity and wisdom; and more--all with a dash of LaDoubleJ vintage chic and oodles of Italian style. This feel-good book is a celebration and a creation story--both of a brand and of becoming your own woman, the Italian way.

A fashion revolutionary, Yves Saint Laurent and his creations were resolutely modern. His ongoing exploration of shape and form incessantly pushed the boundaries of his creativity and led to his most groundbreaking and iconic designs. His works were influenced by the artistic trends of the time--from simple and geometric abstraction to constructivism and concrete art--whose many movements mirror the multifaceted talent of the designer. A bold, exacting gesture underpinned his art: his minimalist dresses were often monochromatic compositions seemingly sprung from a single line. A colorist, he imagined pure yet exuberant abstract designs by combining flat surfaces in vibrant hues. Transposing pictorial material onto textiles, he thus balanced color, form, surface, and line. An illusionist, he would juxtapose black and white to suggest movement in the garment through optical illusion. By using flat, simple lines, shape prevailed over color.

This volume accompanies an exhibition, Yves Saint Laurent: Shapes and Forms, at the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris from June 9, 2023, to January 14, 2024, which features key pieces from the Yves Saint Laurent archives in dialogue with the set design and works by ceramic artist Claudia Wieser.

"I love gold, it's a magical color; when reflecting a woman, it's the color of the sun."

As the official catalogue of the Gold, les ors d'Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in Paris, this stunning book presents the couture, jewelry, and accessories inspired by the golds of Yves Saint Laurent from the 1960s to the 2000s. This eye-catching metalhas been featured heavily throughout the entirety of the designer's work: from the very first buttons adorning his pea coats to dresses that appear entirely fashioned from gold, no collection escaped the couturier's "golden" touch.

This heavily illustrated and photographed book in full color presents Saint Laurent's exquisite designs as we follow the thread of gold throughout his collections, offering special insight into the work and intricate techniques used to make the brocades, laces, lamés, leathers, and embroideries of YSL shine. Curated by Elsa Janssen, the director of the legendary Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, and fashion historian Yvane Jacob, Yves Saint Laurent: Gold draws on a large number of archival documents, interviews, and other resources such as films and shows, presenting how the cultural, artistic, and social contexts of the time, especially the women's rights movement, resulted in these timeless designs. From the jeweled dress designed for his Autumn/Winter 1966 collection and photographed by David Bailey, to the sequined dresses worn by Zizi Jeanmaire and Catherine Deneuve, Gold sparkles as it conjures up the true treasures of Saint Laurent's legacy and spirit.
