Stephen Jones and the Accent of Fashion

Picture the moment, in the run-up to a Christian Dior haute couture show. John Galliano is working silently in the Paris studio with his friend and ally, the master milliner Stephen Jones. The designer is looking at the arc of a silhouette, the drape of a skirt and the tilt of a hat: 'I often work through a mirror for most of my decisions and I always see Stephen's reflection', says Galliano. 'He is reading my every nuance. He is studying my face. I don't need to say anything — he can read my mind'. From the essay by Suzy Menkes. 'Stephen Jones & the Accent of Fashion' is the first monograph on the work of designer Stephen Jones. It is illustrated throughout with incredible photographs from hisillustrious career — among them are Jones' famous collaborations with Boy George, along with pictures from private collections and museums. The text focuses on varying aspects of his work such as his collaborations with John Galliano and with Thierry Mugler. The book also examines his work with photographers such as Bruce Weber and Nick Knight. Recent collections include: Marc Jacobs, L'Wren Scott, Giles Deacon, Gareth Pugh, Loewe, Christian Dior Haute Couture, Pret-a-porter, Ski & Baby collections, John Galliano, Comme des Garcons. His recent commissions include: Dita von Teese/Crazy Horse, Bryan Adams, Immodesty Blaize, Take That, 'Sex and the City 2', Perrier Jouet, Printemps, Ascot, Disneyland, Kylie Minogue, Kate Moss/Met Ball. With her moulded felt cloche shadowing an eye and pinned with a tremblant diamond cow-parsley sprig, Nadja Auermann, slinking down the stairs of a crumbling Hotel Particulier in Paris for the John Galliano show, defined the fashion moment. Once again, Stephen Jones, millinery magician, had summoned up the spirit of the day. Jones is a deft conjurer, who can draw whimsy from a hat. Steeped in couture lore and craft, he nevertheless propels his art into the future with his ceaseless invention and thistledown touch. His genius is to enhance the mystery, allure, wit of the wearer — although a Jones hat might be a dramatic statement in itself, it will never overpower.

Elaborately, gilded masks worn by dancers performing in the popular Ramayana dance drama are an enduring symbol of Thai culture. Since their introduction in the late eighteenth century, many hundreds of thousands of masks have been produced by skilled craftsmen. Less well-known as an art form, the history of Thai puppetry dates back to the 17th century Ayutthaya when large, metre-high puppets were used to relate popular folk tales. Today practitioners of this art form are becoming scarce, as are the finely crafted puppets themselves.

•An experimental book detailing both the battle and harmony between man and nature •A multilingual edition in English, Dutch and French It is difficult to rival the beauty of trees, with their tall, slender stature and the height of their crowns. Nevertheless, the ambition of the Parckdesign call for proposals was to take up the challenge of highlighting the ancestral link that exists between man and nature, between man's artefacts and his relationship with the natural element and environment by the means of urban furniture. Put in a contemporary context, park furniture is focused on the willingness to experiment, test, enhance and discover natural sites that are seeking a more specific identity.

Unravel: Knitwear in Fashion

PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ

The changing status of knitwear in high fashion is a fascinating history in which the threads of socio-cultural revolutions and fashion design are closley knit together. By unravelling its ups and downs, in different places and eras, this book starts to shed a light on the origins of our current perspective on knitwear. Due to knitwear's associations with hobby culture, femininity and crafts, it is too often overlooked that it can also be something highly fashionable, experimental and a daring choice for fashion designers. Knitwear's contemporary comeback is in fact a vogue for something that never really disappeared. Body hugging cling, jersey sportswear, raw knits, sculptural volumes, lace-like body nets... the possibilities of knitting make it an endless source of inspiration for fashion designers. This book starts to tug at the yarn of knitwear's hidden history, investigating different production methods, social histories and the aesthetic (r)evolutions of knitwear in fashion. With topics ranging from grandad chic to utilitarian jumpers, from fashionable stockings to 3D knits, the everlasting appeal of twinsets and the formless in fashion... this book takes a closer look at something we all own but that is often simply taken for granted: knitwear. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Fashion Museum in Antwerp. Text in English and Dutch. Emmanuelle Dirix works at the Winchester College and teaches costume history at the fashion department of the Antwerp Academy.

• Besides showing some of the most important altarpieces, the book contains a summary catalogue of all extant early altarpieces in France, making it a useful reference tool for scholars and libraries • Catalogue of the exhibition held at the Musée du Louvre, Richelieu wing, April-July 2009 The central element of Christian liturgy, the altarpiece, placed above the alter, is a traditional work of art — a panel placed above and behind the altar, generally in a rectangular form, and made of the most varied materials and techniques, such as sculpture in stone, marble, alabaster, wood, ivory, metalwork, painting on stone, or wood etc. In its collections, the Musée du Louvre holds some remarkable examples of early altarpieces, which are complemented in the forthcoming exhibition by works from other museums and churches. They are mainly French altarpieces (retables), a reflection of the importance of France, and especially of Paris and Saint-Denis, in the genesis of these works of art. Although central to Christian liturgical decoration, altarpieces did not emerge until the 12th century. This book, and the accompanying exhibition recalls the origins of the genre and follows its evolution up to the early 15th century, when altarpieces assumed their more familiar forms. Contents: Introduction; The Altarpiece; The 12th Century; The 13th Century; The 14th Century; Late Gothic; Illustrated summary catalogue of the early French altarpieces not exhibited; Each section is followed by catalogue entries of the pieces shown in the exhibit. Text in French. Pierre-Yves Le Pogam is curator of Sculptures at the Musée du Louvre.

This book inaugurates a series of publications under the title Stones devoted to interior design. This book showcases twenty such homes, twenty mini-narratives, each one conveying an individual lifestyle and design for living, and illustrative of the shifting frontiers in which the common denominator seems to be the quest for new interior models and functional blueprints that can express, through specifically architectural means, quite distinct identities. These fragments document the complex upheaval that interior design has been undergoing, branching out in all directions with a spate of new ideas on the home as the 'mirror of the soul', and meanwhile reinvesting the act of designing with its former poetic and conceptual contents. Text in English and Italian.

The crucial importance of getting one's message across in today's media-driven society has prompted a surge of developments in the area of installation design. This book offers a critical update on the theme, and testifies to the acutely experimental approach adopted for installation projects, which involve interweaving input from a variety of different disciplines to produce a single focused design. The very temporary nature of installations gives a strong communication edge to all design features — be it a cultural message, for a product, or for entertainment — fostering a lively concentration of the various aspects of interior design. Text in English and Italian.

• Guide to the collections of an award-winning British art gallery • Compton Verney's collections focus on areas currently under-represented by British museum and galleries • Features the largest selection of British Folk Art in the UK Compton Verney, a Grade-I listed mansion house in Warwickshire, UK, was re-designed by Robert Adam in the 1760s and is set in parkland landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. Compton Verney was bought by Compton Verney House Trust with financial support from the Peter Moores Foundation in 1993, by which time the house and grounds had fallen into decay, and it was decided that the mansion would be transformed into an art gallery. Opened to the public in 2004, there are six permanent collections, highlighting areas that are under-represented in the UK. Paintings from Naples represent a cross-section of masterpieces from the 'Golden Age' of Neapolitan art from 1600 to 1800. German medieval art includes work by Cranach, Riemenschneider and Schongauer. Compton Verney also holds exemplary collections of Chinese bronzes, British Folk Art, British portraits and objects collected by twentieth-century textile designer Enid Marx with the historian Margaret Lambert. This attractive new guide presents highlights of Compton Verney's six collections, including the latest acquisitions.
