Lucien Lelong
Автор: Jacqueline Demornex Жанр: Thames and Hudson Год: 2008 Страниц: 144 Дата загрузки: 20 декабря 20102009-06-11
|
|
The first book devoted to this influential twentieth-century French couturier. Lucien Lelong was a central figure in French fashion from the 1920s to the 1950s, and his designs were in many ways precursors of contemporary fashion shapes and developments. Noted for his skill, exquisite workmanship, and beautiful fabrics, Lelong and his house promoted a fluid, minimalist, elegant look. Lelong blended modern design with a strong business sense and was influential for both his fashions and his entrepreneurship. He was one of the earliest designers to diversify into lingerie, accessories, and perfumes, and in 1934 he introduced a luxury ready-to-wear line. During the Occupation in World War II, he was instrumental in persuading the Germans to allow French couture houses to remain in Paris rather than moving to Berlin. This wonderfully illustrated history of Lelong and his house chronicles the period and its leading personalities, artists, and designers. Lelong's clients included Colette, Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, and Rose Kennedy; Balmain, Dior, and Givenchy apprenticed with him; and Horst, Beaton, Hoyningen Huene, Man Ray, and Lee Miller photographed his models. 134 illustrations, 48 in color.

Taisho Kimono
Автор: Jan Dees Жанр: Thames and Hudson Год: 2009 Страниц: 292 Дата загрузки: 18 мая 20122012-02-29
|
|
This remarkable volume features and analyzes a private collection of some 130 textiles, mainly from the period between 1900 and 1940. An introduction explains the place of the kimono in Japanese society, including the essential cultural and historical background, but the heart of the book is formed by the photographs of the individual textiles, focusing on the decoration techniques and other main characteristics. No doubt women's kimono are the most artistic ones as a result of their bold and colorful designs. But probably the most surprising garments are the men's under kimono's, since little has been published about them. Some designs show a longing for the past, but others are decorated with contemporary motifs, such as the popular baseball game and the beginning of the Second World War. The children's section features the contrasting expectations for girls and boys in Japanese society: sweet decorations on girls' kimono's, strong animals or samurai on boys' textiles. The book is generously illustrated with three hundred full-color photographs taken especially for this book and all never before published.

This book gathers together all the photographs from that exhibition, introduced by the Festivals director, Francois Hebel.

Published to coincide with the National Portrait Gallery's exhibition in May 2011, this book spans Jagger's entire career, from Mankowitz's portraits of the young artist in the 1960s and Cecil Beaton's on set shots from Performance to Anton Corbijn's shoot for Rolling Stone in 2005.
