Although she was a truly visionary designer, Levine's shoes were sold under her husband's name because female shoe designers were unheard of in her time. This book will give her the credit she deserves for her fashion-forward work, including introducing mules, stilettos, and fashion boots to the American market. Her work is featured in museums around the world. Her designs are still setting trends today and in photographs look as fresh now as when they were first produced.

Scottish Jewellery: A Victorian Passion	Abrams
Автор: Diana Scarisbrick Издательство: Abrams, 2009	PDF, 128 страниц, 3.84 МБ 7 Оценка:
Through the centuries, the distinctive character of Scottish jewelry has enchanted collectors from around the world. In the mid-nineteenth century, demand for the Highland specialties was so high that the supply from local craftsmen had to be supplemented by English imitations. In this spectacular, authoritative volume, leading jewelry historian Diana Scarisbruck presents 360 treasures from the renowned Ghysels collection. Examples include brooches, kilt pins, bracelets, earrings, tie pins, buttons, and belt buckles, many made by legendary designers such as Rettie & Sons of Aberdeen, Jamieson, and Ellis. One hundred beautiful illustrations highlight the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional Scottish designs executed in local materials — agates, cairngorms, amethysts, garnets, freshwater pearls--set in silver or gold to harmonize with the bright colors of the clan tartans. The book also traces the history of jewelry in Scotland and explains the significance of the various motifs — Celtic, heraldic, sporting, religious, naturalistic, military, and sentimental.

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier	Abrams
Автор: Suzy Menkes Издательство: Abrams, 2011	DjVu, 424 страницы, 16.96 МБ 0 Оценка:
Jean Paul Gaultier celebrates the three-decade career of this provocative French fashion designer, who began as an assistant with no formal training and has risen to the rank of grand couturier. His risque and often irreverent styles-think Madonna's iconic cone bra from the 1990 Blonde Ambition tour-have earned him the designation of couture's enfant terrible. This stunning monograph explores the range of Gaultier's collections: his interpretation of modern Parisian life, play with gender roles, metropolitan style, and streetwear lines dubbed EurotrashA and X-rated. A Gaultier himself contributes a foreword and an extensive interview about his biography, his inspirations, and the themes of his collections, from his first in 1976 to his recent work for Kylie Minogue's international tour. Packed with images of the celebrities who have worn his bold styles, including Madonna, Lady Gaga, Naomi Campbell, Marion Cotillard, and Helen Mirren, this luxurious volume is the perfect homage to a modern master.

Saxophone Colossus: A Portrait of Sonny Rollins	Abrams
Автор: Bob Blumenthal Издательство: Abrams, 2010	PDF, 160 страниц, 4.80 МБ 8 Оценка:
On September 7, 2010, the 80th birthday of jazz legend Sonny Rollins, Saxophone Colossus will appear in celebration of his incredibly prolific career. This intimate appreciation in pictures and words combines the images of John Abbott, who as Rollins' photographer of choice for the past twenty years has captured the saxophonist at home and at work, and the essays of Bob Blumenthal, a jazz critic who has chronicled Rollins and his art for nearly four decades. Sonny Rollins has been at the center of jazz and its evolution virtually from his birth. Growing up in Harlem in the heyday of swing and coming of age as the first wave of modernists announced their discoveries, he quickly found himself sharing bandstands with his idols and role models as a peer and making discoveries of his own that continue to influence and inspire later generations. Employing a framework inspired by the tracks on the 1956 album Saxophone Colossus, a consensus masterpiece and essential jazz recording for over a half century, Abbott and Blumenthal honor Rollins' music and spirit in a book that will appeal to jazz novices and longstanding fans alike.

Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the Collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg	Abrams
Автор: Virginia Mecklenburg Издательство: Abrams, 2010	PDF, 252 страницы, 7.56 МБ 5 Оценка:
Telling Stories, based on the Rockwell collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, is the first book to chart the connections between Rockwell's iconic images of American life and the movies. Rockwell, the quintessential American mythmaker of the twentieth century, was a storyteller on a par with the great Hollywood directors of his day. Within his art, the fantasies and foibles of ordinary people are given life, central among them the themes of love of country, the sanctity of family, and the value of personal honour. Spielberg and Lucas — masterful storytellers and mythmakers themselves — are kindred spirits whose early introduction to art and the American dream came via Rockwell's famous magazine art. Rockwell composed his scenes with precision, carefully controlling each detail to enrich his characters. Spielberg and Lucas used similar techniques to shape some their most successful films, among them American Graffiti, Star Wars, ET: The Extraterrestrial, the Indiana Jones series and Saving Private Ryan. Essays by curator Virginia Mecklenburg and film critic Todd McCarthy explore this influence, also revealing Rockwell to have been an artist used techniques inspired by Hollywood movies in his visual storytelling. Telling Stories, which accompanies an exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, is richly illustrated with Rockwell images, photographs, and film stills.

Swoon	Abrams
Автор: Swoon Издательство: Abrams, 2010	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
When the 27-year-old Brooklyn street artist Swoon had her first one-person gallery exhibition at New York's Deitch Projects in 2005, the area surrounding the gallery was so overrun with fans and friends that neither cars nor pedestrians could pass through. Reviews in all of the major New York papers, and even national news sources like Newsday, raved — crediting her intricate paper cut-outs and hand-pulled block prints of realistically-rendered street people (often friends and family doing ordinary things) with depicting no less than the poetry of urban life. Her figures, according to Newsday, are rendered with breathtaking precision [and] radiate humanity and compassion. Most people know of Swoon through her wheat-pasted cut-outs, which have appeared throughout New York for the better part of the last decade. Usually seen in a state of decay, they are powerful time-based public artworks that only get more potent as they age. For the past two years, Swoon has been traveling the world, creating exhibitions and workshops. Published to accompany the artist's highly anticipated fall 2008 exhibition at Deitch's Long Island City project space, this first monograph documents exhibitions from 2005 to 2007, as well as collaborations created in Russia, Ukraine and throughout the United States.
