Since the beginning of civilization, women have worn underwear. Justified as protection, or a hygienic necessity, this "second skin" was devised to satisfy perverse erotic instincts. A "trap laid by Venus" to entertain and stimulate the fantasies of both the woman who wears them and the man who discovers them. Corsets, bras and panties are not utilitarian items - they are elements in a mystic ritual linking man and woman. They act as an obsessive focus for fantasy, for the sex they conceal is powerless without the decorations and seductions which separate us from it. Pleasure would perish without censorship.

Women have always known how to stimulate the latent fetishism of the men around them. Under her dress, a Greek girl of the classical period would wear a belt around her hips which was of no practical use except to draw attention to her feminity. Likewise, the women of Rome already wore garters round their thighs, though the stocking had not yet been invented. In our own century, vamps, starlets, pin-ups and models have filled our cínema screens, our advertising hoardings, our office calendars and our imaginations with the erotic engineering of the garter belt and the surreptitious rustle of nylon stockings.

Dessous traces the evolution of this living mythology from its first steps in the dawn of civilization to its apotheosis in the films and advertising campaigns of the modern world. Lavishly illustrated, it demonstrates how the conflict between the need to conceal and the will to reveal has provided women with the means to explore their own sexuality and exercise an erotic ascendancy over men. The result is a richly aphrodisiacal meditation, an intimate exploration of the props of our theatre of desire.

The way we wore. The story of modern fashion — from couture to mass market

The 20th century saw fashion evolve from an exclusive Parisian salon business catering to a wealthy elite, into a global industry employing millions, with new trends whisked into stores before the last model has left the catwalk. Along the way, the signature feminine silhouettes of each era evolved beyond recognition: House of Worth crinolines gave way to Vionnet's bias-cut gowns, Dior's New Look to Quant's Chelsea Look, Halston's white suit to Frankie B.'s low-rise jeans. In menswear, ready-made suits signalled the demise of bespoke tailoring, long before Hawaiian shirts, skinny ties or baggy pants entered the fore.

20th Century Fashion offers a stylish retrospective of the last hundred years, via 400 fashion advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. Using imagery culled from a century of advertising, this book documents the unrelenting pace of fashion as it was adopted into the mass culture, decade by decade. An in-depth introduction, chapter text, and illustrated timeline detail the style-makers and trendsetters, from couture to the mass market; and how the historic events, design houses, retailers, films, magazines, and celebrities shaped the way we dressed — then and now.

О книге 20th Century Fashion: 100 Years of Apparel Ads

20th Century Fashion: 100 Years of Apparel Ads - это книга о моде 20-го века, целых 100 годах культа и рекламы дизайнерской одежды. Увлекательный рассказ о том, как создавались наряды и что принято было носить в прошлом веке.

20th Century Fashion повествует о формировании современной моды – от кутюр и до массового рынка. Развитие моды в 20-ом веке начиналось в эксклюзивных Парижских салонах, которые были созданы для элиты. А превратилось в настоящую мировую индустрию, в которой работают миллионы, с новыми тенденциями и большими массовыми магазинами. Одежда стала не только подиумной.

Фирменные женские образы разных эпох менялись кардинально: кринолины Houseof Worth сдали позиции платьям Vionnet с разрезом, Dior's NewLook-уступил Quant´s Chelsea Look, белый костюм Halston сменили невысокие джинсы от Frankie B. Мужская одежда, костюмы перестали шить на заказ. Задолго до того, как вошли в моду рубашки - гавайки, тонкие галстуки и мешковатые брюки.

20th Century Fashion: 100 Yearsof Apparel Ads предлагает взглянуть в прошлый век, на примере 400 fashion объявлений из коллекции Джима Хеймана. Используя образы, навеянные веком рекламы, эта книга от издательства Taschen, описывает неуклонный темп моды. То, как она была принята массами, от десятилетия, к десятилетию.

Фолиант содержит подробное введение, много глав и большое количество иллюстраций, подробно описывают создателей стиля и законодателей моды, от кутюр и до массового рынка. А также то, как исторические события, дизайн модных домов, ритейлеры, фильмы, журналы и знаменитости формировали то, как мы одевались тогда и одеваемся сейчас.

For many centuries the collecting of precious jewels was the preserve of kings and queens, emperors and maharajahs. But in the aftermath of the First World War, with the fall of several European monarchies, royal gems passed into the hands of a different kind of elite that included celebrities from the silver screen and a coterie which revelled in a new-rich social whirl.

This book profiles eleven of these rich and glamorous women, all of whom built up astonishing jewelry collections in the early and mid-20th century. The authors, both international jewelry experts, bring to life the worlds in which these women moved, as well as describing the gems in detail and providing a portrait of the work of the leading jewelers of the day.

The book is illustrated with close-up shots of the jewels as well as wonderful drawings of the original designs, and includes portraits of the women by Beaton, Horst and other leading photographers of the time.

Special 2-for-1 offer containing the books: Girly Graphics and Tough-Style Graphics.

• Girly Graphics.
The word “girly” represents an expression of reconstructing a positive image of girls. Unverbalized “girly” images are so powerful and convey such a strong message, not only to girls but also to a broader audience in today’s world. Although many advertising pieces targeted to girls are included, the work selected for the book is not necessarily targeted to girls. Featured in this book are about 300 pieces, including posters, catalogues, shop cards, business cards, books, music CD jackets, greeting cards, letter-heads, product packages and more, all created by Japanese designers for the Japanese market, but for internationally recognized brands such as Levi Strauss, Anna Sui or Jill Stuart, among others.

• Tough-Style Graphics.
When large amounts of information are circulating around, straightforward and direct messages in graphic design are needed to deliver the right information to each specific target audience. These days we can detect designs which are able to cut off the fat from information by shaping bold graphic images. The male consumer market is increasingly growing in the world. This book shows clean cut, tough-style graphics which particularly encourage men to buy, designed with a straightforward and direct appeal. This new trend of edgy designs is currently sweeping through the creative and graphic design community.

This book of stunning images is an accessible overview of the most important contemporary fashion designers working now.

Today’s designers are savvier and more daring than ever before. Happy to exist within or outside the established houses of haute couture, their reputations are cemented by smart consumers who are willing to navigate the thin line between setting and following trends. This book of the most creative and iconoclastic members of today’s fashion scene includes Fashion Week regulars and cutting-edge up-and-comers. Each designer is profiled in double-page spreads that include runway-ready products as well as notes, sketches, and biographical information. These 50 men and women have embraced the global, economic, and environmental realities that serve both to challenge and inspire.
