Книги о моде и фэшн дизайне

In the same snappy format as the instant bestseller PhotoBox, this anthology offers fresh perspectives on the timeless fashion essentials that define style

T-shirts, blue jeans, a white shirt, the little black dress, the trench, a tailored suit ... Fashion has given us many icons - accessible, attainable pieces that are staples in everyone's wardrobe. Often, an iconic garment becomes inextricably linked to the star who made it famous, from Audrey Hepburn and the little black dress and Diane Keaton working the androgynous look to Grace Kelly in a twinset and Madonna laced into a corset.

This book takes a look at sixteen classic fashion items as worn by the stars who made them famous. Each of the pieces has its own chapter introduced by an essay from fashion writer Antonio Mancinelli, followed by a series of unforgettable photographs of the clothes worn by such stars as Brigitte Bardot, Ursula Andress, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Kennedy, Grace Jones, Lauren Bacall and Emmanuelle Béart.

The seventy fashion brands that appear in this book are selected from the most highly regarded brands for women, men, unisex, and kids; featuring some of the most commonly used marketing tools including logo, shop exterior and interior designs, catalogs, shopping cards and shopping bags, together with seasonal promotional tools. Japanese girls love to keep and use the shopping bags and promotional tools of their favorite fashion brands, and it is a must for a fashion brand to produce "collectible" paraphernalia so as to attract their target audience. Featuring easily accessible page design with each spread showing the brand’s logo alongside the brand concept in text, accompanied by various photos of graphic promotional materials, which give readers a good understanding of how each element of marketing tools are connected to one another. Although this book only focuses on the fashion industry, logos, advertisements, shop designs and tools in the book could be applicable to other industries’ brands and shops. From an independent shop owner to anyone in need of brand recognition, this is a perfect reference full of resources.

In this lavishly illustrated book, a renowned editor at British Vogue examines the links between fashion and jewelry.

For as long as we’ve been dressing, we’ve been adorning ourselves with embellishments for ears, hands, wrists, waist and fingers. And as fashion trends evolve, so do trends in jewellery. Here, jewellery expert, Carol Woolton demonstrates how the worlds of fashion and jewellery have become increasingly integrated over the last century. From the corset-bound silhouettes of the turn of the century, with their elegant drop earrings and delicate chokers, to the free-flowing kaftans of the 1970s, adorned with chunky, earthy bangles and beads - major trends and designers are featured in double-page spreads that offer endlessly fascinating and informative texts and illustrations. Profiles of icons from Coco Chanel and Harry Winston to Princess Diana and Michelle Obama reveal the interplay of personality and history in the world of fashion. And as jewellery from Chanel, Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels and others was shown for the first time alongside haute couture in this year’s Paris Fashion Week, Woolton explores how brands have made the most of this trend. Gorgeous photography from the archives of Condé Nast, Sotheby’s, and many fine jewellers bring precious metal and twinkling gems to glorious life on the pages of this book.

Successful sales result from effective promotion. In the fashion industry, we can find a lot of shiny graphics on tags, packages, invitations, look books, advertising and other collaterals. Fashion brand communication is all about tactility. As the product itself relies on feeling, especially the touch and smell of the fabric, so the graphic or packaging representation of these values must have the same properties. It is crucially important to choose carefully the materials, to innovate with printing processes such as with die cutting, foil blocking, thermo-graphic print and push the boundaries of the unexpected. When we unwrap our purchases, or take them out of the bag, we want to be reminded by the feeling between our fingertips of the values that are embroidered in the label. This collection presents over 100 fashionable brands which have excellent promo graphics. 'Fashion Graphics' demonstrates why designing for the fashion industry is one of the most exciting and demanding creative challenges in branding, communication and visual expression.
