Paris é a cidade do chique - e como tal, seu estilo inato brilha em toda a cidade, mesmo nos espaços mais simples. Bistrôs pitorescos, becos pitorescos, estúdios de artistas e personagens únicos são elevados a uma pintura de gênero moderna quando ambientados em Paris. De skatistas a antiquários, este volume é um vislumbre da vida parisiense, como se estivesse espiando pela borda da varanda em seu próprio pied-à-terre.

Em colaboração, a autora Alexandra Senes e o fotógrafo Oliver Pilcher abrem as portas de algumas das casas mais sofisticadas de Paris, compartilhando um retrato íntimo de várias famílias. Os momentos tranquilos e diários da vida parisiense são eternizados pelas lentes de Pilcher. Monumentos não fazem uma cidade; as pessoas fazem.

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.

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.

Contemporary art is sometimes considered an austere matter: ascetic in palette, serious in tone, a subject for sober contemplation. That stereotype is exploded--ecstatically, and in full color--by the work of OSGEMEOS, trailblazing twin Brazilian artists with a practice as firmly rooted in the rule-breaking world of urban graffiti as it is in the elevated spheres of museum and gallery. Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo first wielded their spray cans (and spun their discs, and breakdanced with friends) in the São Paulo hip-hop scene of the 1980s and '90s, drawing from that vibrant milieu the lesson that art is at its best, and most meaningful, when everyone is invited to the party.

Combining historical and contemporary elements of Brazilian society with graffiti, hip-hop, and youth culture, OSGEMEOS: Endless Story extends an invitation into the artists' expansive body of work, which embraces murals, paintings, sculpture, installations, and video, all using a symbolic visual language often inspired by dreams.

Renowned for their spindly yellow characters--seen dancing, writing graffiti, interacting with their urban settings, and stretching high across buildings and train cars worldwide--OSGEMEOS creates works that invite readers into a surreal, chimerical world filled with motifs that signal access to another realm or the deep psyche. This fantasy world, which they call Tritrez, is the apex of their vision: a land of wonder that reflects the diverse nature of Brazil itself.

OSGEMEOS: Endless Story, the artists' first major English-language monograph, will be accompanied by their first US survey exhibition and their largest US show to date, on view at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, from May 2024 to July 2025. The book is given a third dimension through Hirshhorn Eye (Hi) technology: readers can activate, via smartphone, videos of the artists and the exhibition's curators discussing the works in both book and show.

New Orleans is one of the most distinctive cities in the world, but like most American cities, rapidly developing. Designer and writer Valorie Hart and photographer Sara Essex Bradley have sought out spectacular residences that represent the best of old bohemian New Orleans--domiciles that serve both as inspiration and as an imaginative balm to all that is unappealingly conventional and cookie-cutter in design today. Ranging from a Garden District cottage to a Civil War-era Creole mansion, all the homes feature elements of elegance and eccentricity, old French furniture and vintage finds, colors only produced by local light. The free spirits who own these homes have a lust for all the arts, from music to dance, painting, and fine cuisine. They include an artist in a crumbling garret, an eccentric dreamer, a voodoo queen, moneyed wayfarers, world travelers, a resourceful magpie, bon vivants, gypsies, and old souls--all united in their love of the chipped and tattered, romantic and resplendent.

This book is a valentine to a New Orleans that is disappearing, a last call to remember, appreciate, and repeat and revive its great bohemian soul.

 Do autor do best-seller Harry Styles e as roupas que ele veste, chega um novo e fresco olhar sobre o ícone de estilo Rihanna.

Rihanna aprendeu a definir os seus próprios termos em tudo o que faz - seja no mundo da moda, da música, da beleza, da filantropia, dos negócios ou do ativismo, ela é ao mesmo tempo musa e criativa, uma colaboradora e pioneira. Até o momento, ela tem 135 milhões de seguidores no Instagram e continua aumentando. Em 2022, aos 34 anos, em grande parte por causa de seu império Fenty Beauty, ela se tornou a mais jovem bilionária da Forbes.

Mas é o seu guarda-roupa pessoal e a maneira como ela o veste que mais incorpora o carisma, a integridade e o humor de Rihanna: tudo o que ela faz reflete o que ela mesma veste. Ela assume riscos, mas como disse no tapete vermelho em 2014, “você nunca será elegante se não correr riscos”. A aposta valeu a pena. O método de misturar e combinar de Rihanna de usar alta moda e streetwear, jovens designers e vintage, clássicos do hip-hop e peças de vanguarda feitas sob medida, significa que ela tem condições de igualdade tanto na indústria da música quanto na da moda. Presidente e CEO do grupo LVMH, Sidney Toledano diz que ela é: “um ícone de estilo para a geração de hoje”.

A amplitude do conhecimento e estilo de moda de Rihanna é surpreendente. Em Rihanna e as roupas que ela veste, Terry Newman entra no mundo deste ícone da moda examinando seu estilo. Das passarelas de alta-costura ao seu próprio império Fenty, de declarações políticas ao casual de rua, este livro chique fervilha com fatos sobre as escolhas de estilo de Rihanna, apresentando os looks mais reverenciados da estrela. Com citações dos principais designers, este é o presente perfeito para qualquer fã.
