Pixel Surgeons presents the very best of today's styling and illusion in fashion and lifestyle photography.

Fifty years ago fashion photography was perceived as the elitist preserve of glossy magazines across the world. Today it is part of the 21st-century lifestyle. Commuting to and from work, we are subjected to billboards and hoardings advertising well-known labels. It is now de rigueur for every tabloid to contain a fashion features page. Style magazines - for both men and women - dominate the heaving newsagent's shelves.

Media awareness and discriminating aesthetics have provoked a multi-layered language of fashion photography, and digital technology has introduced a level of image manipulation that has further enriched the genre. Today's photographic communicators offer personal visions that grab the viewer by the throat in their attempt to satisfy the market's craving for more and more imaginative imagery.

Martin Dawber presents the work of over 30 of the most exceptional new international practitioners of photography, styling, and digital manipulation, exploring their methods and influences.

Assouline presents the autobiography of Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino s trusted business partner for fifty years.

Richard Avedon: Fashion 1944-2000 shows Richard Avedon's extraordinary fashion photographs from almost seven decades

With his early innovative photographs for "Harper's Bazaar" and his creative sessions for "Vogue", "Egoiste" and "The New Yorker" Richard Avedon had influenced 20th-century fashion photography as no one else, working together with the best models, stylists and designers.

Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 encompasses seven decades of extraordinary images by Richard Avedon, the most influential fashion photographer of the 20th century.

This comprehensive volume offers a definitive survey, from Avedon's groundbreaking early photographs for Harper's Bazaar through his constantly inventive contributions to Vogue, Egoiste, and The New Yorker. Each carefully selected image represents an artistic collaboration with significant models, stylists, and designers. Avedon Fashion accompanies the first major exhibition to survey this body of work, at the International Center of Photography in May 2009. With critical essays by Carol Squiers, curator at the ICP, and photography critic Vince Aletti, as well as an appreciation by photo-historian Philippe Garner, Avedon Fashion chronicles an astonishing record of photographic achievement.

The definitive monograph on the fashion of Rick Owens -- one of the most daring and influential designers working today -- this book documents over a decade of sublime, iconic styles.

Since the establishment of his label in 1994, Rick Owens has transformed global fashion with his provocative clothing and subversive style. Distinguished by his grunge-meets-glamour aesthetic and defiant anti-fashion stance, Owens created a dark fashion empire that has accrued a devoted international following which gravitates toward the brand's sublime tailoring, somber palette, mystical layers, and gritty elegance.

Filled with photographs of Owens's most impressive looks from the last decade, this volume is conceived as a celebration of the Rick Owens aesthetic, approximating with printing effects some of the mystery and detailing associated with the brand. Iconic imagery taken from Owens's seminal lookbooks provides a unique look at the output of design from an artist who is at once comfortable with developing technologies and respectful of traditional approaches.

With principal photography by Danielle Levitt -- who achieved considerable acclaim for her social-realist images -- this book is essential for lovers of avant-garde fashion, photography, and design.

About the Authors:

Rick Owens is an American fashion designer and winner of a Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award.

В 1972 году Кавалли провёл свой первый показ мод в знаменитом флорентийском особняке Палаццо Пити. С этого момента его характерные принты-рисунки на шелке, замше и коже раз и навсегда вошли в моду. Книга «Roberto Cavalli» пестрит иллюстрациями роскошных показов, ставших классикой, наряду с новыми фешн-фотографиями от звездного дуэта Мерта Аласа и Маркуса Пигготта под художественным руководством Фабьена Барона - одного из самых влиятельных представителей европейской модной индустрии.

Книга содержит помимо этого комментарии знаменитостей, киноактрис, музыкантов, выигравших «Грэмми». 

Лейбл «Кавалли» не только является символом изысканной сексуальности, но и индикатором вечно изменчивых определений гламура, и остается сегодня в мире одним из первых действительно признанных брендов. Само имя – Роберто Кавалли - стало синонимом гламура и принтов. А его пламенный итальянский стиль по-прежнему очаровывает и удивляет весь мир. Кавалли, который предпочитает, чтобы его называли не "дизайнером", а "модным художником", создает линию мужской, женской и детской одежды, аксессуары, оптику, часы, парфюм, нижнее белье и пляжную одежду. Его бутики открыты в 50 странах по всему миру.

Astonishing, richly spontaneous, and almost entirely unpublished images of the Beatles historic first trip to the United States, as chronicled by an award-winning photographer given unique access to their tour. 

Published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the Beatles first visit the United States, this rare and mostly unseen collection of photographs marks the beginning of the British Invasion.

The book is an intimate fly-on-the-wall account of a visit that introduced the Beatles to America and changed the course of music, internationalizing the industry and opening the door for other artists to achieve global success.
