Книги о моде и фэшн дизайне

Even before the advent of haute couture, Paris was a great centre of fashion. During the second half of the nineteenth century, when the capital was transformed by an ambitious urban plan, its residents responded in kind, wearing styles as polished and modern as the city itself in order to participate in the exciting new social scene. Featuring famed paintings by such Impressionist masters as Degas, Cassatt, Manet, Monet and Morisot, this delightful book revisits the world of Parisian fashion through the eyes of first-hand observers. Thematic chapters present a gallery-like ensemble of paintings that follow in the footsteps of stylish Parisians as they stroll in the parks and boulevards, meet friends at cafes, take in the theatre, relax at home and go on holiday. In an extended narrative-style caption to accompany each image, fashion and art historian Debra N. Mancoff offers a detailed discussion of what men and women wore and how their dress defined them. To complete the picture, illustrated interludes, providing glimpses into dressmaking, corsetry and millinery, the origins of couture and the rise of the department store, reveal how Paris became the fashion capital of the world.

Created with the catwalk and couture in mind, fashion jewellery is characterized by its creativity and originality. It is one of the most exciting fields in fashion today.

Arranged by designer, this compact edition showcases contemporary catwalk and couture jewellery, profiling 33 international fashion jewellers who combine traditional and ultra-modern techniques in their designs. The stunning images in the book feature collaborations with leading fashion designers such as Lanvin, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Comme des Garçons, as well as collections for directional fashion stores such as Colette and 10 Corso Como.

Fashion Jewellery provides inspiration for designers, jewellers and students of fashion, offering a unique insight into the working methods of a new generation of jewellers. Showcasing skilled craftsmanship, unusual materials and an often limited-edition approach, this beautifully illustrated book harnesses the spirit of couture for the 21st century.
