Fully illustrated with contemporary plates from catalogues and books, as well as paintings and photography, this beautiful book traces a constantly absorbing and often surprising story, as it took place all over Western Europe and North America. Ideal for all students of and enthusiasts for the domestic interior and period settings. Steven Parissien's strongly narrative text explains not simply what happened, but why.

The most personal account of the life and work of legendary designer Coco Chanel ever published, with contributions from her great-niece and from the archives of her eponymous fashion house.

Coco Chanel's life and work have been recounted often in print and film everything except the details of her most private self: her fondness for symbolism and poetry, the men she loved, her family, and in particular her nephew André Palasse, whom she raised like a son. His daughter Gabrielle Palasse-LabrunieChanels only direct descendant and goddaughter to both Chanel and the Duke of Westminster enjoyed a close-knit relationship with the designer for more than forty years. In this biography, she opens her doors and shares personal memories of her great-aunt.

This work divided into five chronological parts, including Chanels dark period's plunges the reader into the private world of the icon, offering intimate insight. Photographs of Chanels personal effects, many of which have never before been seen or published, include presents from her great love Boy Capel, furniture, favorite jewelry, talismans, clothes, family photographs, rare documents, correspondence, and books with personal inscriptions.

The Chanel fashion house offered privileged access to the couturier's iconic pieces in their archives. In Intimate Chanel, Palasse-Labrunie discloses all that was important to her great-aunt and recounts their private conversations, unveiling who her Auntie Coco really was: a very different Chanel from her public persona.

Introducing: Visual Identities for Small Businesses is a compilation of intelligent corporate designs for small, creative companies. The diverse work—such as a small run of stationery for a specialized consultant, the hand-set business cards of a typographer, or wrapping paper and chalk-boards for a local flower shop—is thematically united by a fresh attitude and personal approach that captures the imagination with which the founders pursue and communicate their business concepts.

Reflecting the full spectrum of today’s most important design trends, the featured examples make clear that intriguing visual concepts do not depend on large budget. Rather, the work included in Introducing: Visual Identities for Small Businesses is a testament to the fact that certain limitations can be beneficial to coming up with original and effectively executed creative ideas.
