Olivier Theyskens : She Walks in Beauty
Hardcover, 240 pages, 160 Colour Photographs, English, 300 x 220 mm, new state, with dustjacket, ISBN 9780847862467. Olivier Theyskens s refined sensibilities earned him international acclaim as the dark prince of late 1990s couture. From his first saturnine collections, to his new vision for Rochas, to his patterns and textiles at Nina Ricci, to his years designing for Theyskens Theory, the designer has proved himself a master of couture, semi-couture, and pret-a-porter. Celebrated for his fine tailoring, romantic silhouettes, and gothic palette, Theyskens transforms each house he helms. This distinctive volume charts the twenty-year development of an extraordinary aesthetic vision, rendered across countries, cultures, and the shifting sands of the fashion landscape. Newly commissioned texts connect the threads of the Belgian-born artist s diverse practice. Drawings created for the publication accompany photography from each period of his career. At both Rochas and Nina Ricci, the designer crafted ethereal garments with unorthodox silhouettes, mixing sheer fabrics and old-world bustles with subtly subversive punk elements. Theyskens then broke ground in 2011 with his trailblazing partnership, Theyskens Theory. With a special focus on the designer s return to the runway at the head of his own line, this is the definitive work on a fashion visionary who, like the girls he designs for, changes form, but walks in beauty wherever he goes.

Brigitte Bardot : My life in fashion
Hardcover, 254 pages, English, 200 x 280 mm, book is in new state, dust jacket, . ISBN 9782080202697. Legendary actress Brigitte Bardot led fashion revolutions throughout her career; this retrospective includes BB's comments on her iconic style in a rare, intimate interview. Brigitte Bardot is a style icon whose legacy has undeniably shaped the face of fashion as we know it. Discovered by a magazine editor at only 14 years old, she found fame and admiration on the big screen in the 1950s, and then became the fiery sex symbol of the groovy and liberated 1960s. Over the course of her career, all of the great French designers-including Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain, and Pierre Cardin-outfitted Bardot on and off screen. In photographs that capture her attending prestigious receptions or on glamorous visits to the United States, in fashion shoots and on film sets, this volume illustrates all the key looks that BB wore and brought to the international spotlight as she invented and edited her own highly imitated style. In an extensive-and extremely rare-interview, accompanied by her personal comments on the photos, Bardot explains the context of the often vanguard fashions she wore, making headlines wherever she went. Evoking French style and the glamor of St. Tropez, her legacy endures-from ballerina slippers with sweeping skirts to figure-hugging knitwear, gingham fabrics and gypsy dresses, kohl eyeliner and tousled hair.

Published to accompany an exhibition at Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, The Hague. 'The little seamstress' is how the renowned Coco Chanel was once disdainfully described by her contemporary Paul Poiret.

A perfect moment, therefore, for an overview that focuses on strong women in fashion. Femmes Fatales tells fashion history from the perspective of femail designers. Do they design differently for women than their male counterparts? What influence have they had? What does being a woman mean in terms of their creations? And what is their vision for fashion? This book includes work by Coco Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Elsa Schiaparelli, Mary Quant, Vivienne Westwood, Sonia Rykiel, Zandra Rhodes, Miuccia Prada, Maria Grazia Chiuri (Dior), Fong Leng, Sheila de Vries and Iris van Herpen, and many others.

Marleen Daniëls - Sarajevo to Paris FASHION!
Hardcover, 816 pages, full color. 27,6 x 21 x 7cm. ISBN 9789077207925. Sarajevo to Paris fashion Sarajevo to Paris, fashion or reportage, deciding on the title of a book is mind-boggling. I call myself a documentary photographer that accidentally ended up doing fashion. The end of the '80s was an interesting and intense time in world history, and a particularly creative time in the world of fashion. As a young female photographer I was interested in both worlds. I was travelling for newspapers and magazines to the fashion weeks in Milan and Paris and to the conflict zones of Lebanon and Iraq. It was during the war in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the siege of Sarajevo that I matured in documentary photography, fortunately without being injured. Thirty years later, when looking back, those two worlds ? documentary and fashion ? still define my work. Both are equally represented in my archives. This book, of my fashion work, is the first to be published. I called it Sarajevo to Paris because sometimes I would travel directly from one to the other. These two cities had a big impact on my life. Marleen Daniëls, May 2021 ISOMO - YAMAMOTO / VIKTOR & ROLF / OLIVIER THYSKENS / DRIE VAN NOTEN /

Als creatieve duizendpoot kleedde hij Bono voor de wereldtournee Popmart van U2, ontwierp hij uniformen voor de reinigingsdienst en kostuums voor ballet en theater, naast eigen collecties sinds 1985. Zijn groots opgezette modeshows zijn legendarisch, evenals zijn voorliefde voor expliciete seks in de collecties en zijn optimistische visie op de wereld. Agnes Goyvaerts dook met de ontwerper in zijn archieven en sprak met belangrijke mensen uit zijn omgeving. Paul Boudens, die reeds jarenlang met Van Beirendonck samenwerkt, gaf het boek vorm. Het levert een boeiend beeld op van een interessante mens. Agnes Goyvaerts (1947) is journaliste bij De Morgen. Ze volgt de Belgische ontwerpers sinds het prille begin en is co-auteur van Mode in de Lage Landen/België. Daarnaast verschenen twee bundelingen van haar restaurantcolumns Het Proefkonijn. Walter Van Beirendonck (1957) volgde een opleiding aan de modeafdeling van de Koninklijke Academie voor Schone kunsten in Antwerpen en was een van de ambitieuze studenten die internationaal bekend werden als 'de zes van Antwerpen'. Momenteel heeft hij een eigen dames- en herencollectie, staat hij aan het hoofd van de afdeling mode van de Koninklijke Academie Antwerpen, leidt hij het ontwerpteam van Scapa Sports en runt hij samen met partner Dirk Van Saene de shop annex kunstgalerie Walterstore in Antwerpen.

JOHN GALLIANO Unseen
Hardcover, 352 pages, ENG, 340 x 250 mm, NEW, more than 330 coloured illustrations. ISBN 9780500519516. Now creative director of Maison Margiela, John Galliano started his career in London in the late 1980s, straight after graduating from Central Saint Martins. After being appointed head designer of Christian Dior in 1996, Galliano continued to create two collections a year for his namesake brand. They acted in many ways as a laboratory of ideas, allowing him to let his imagination run wild, free from both the commercial pressures associated with a house as iconic and as global as Dior and the influence of the hallowed house's iconic pieces - a pure expression of his personal design style. Opening with an essay on the designer's work, John Galliano: Unseen unfolds chronologically. Thirty collections are included, each introduced by a short text by Claire Wilcox, revisiting the designer's most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments that capture models, hairdressers, stylists, makeup artists and John Galliano himself at their most creative. Robert Fairer's stunning and high-energy photographs capture the glamour and frenzy that defined Galliano's shows. A treasure-trove of inspiration, they make this publication a must-have reference for fashion and photography lovers alike

Entering fashion history in 1993 with his notorious 'grunge' collection for Perry Ellis, Marc Jacobs would soon be hailed by American Vogue as 'the dauphin of grungy, understated cool'. He quickly rose to become one of the most influential designers of his generation, both at the helm of his own label and as creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1998 to 2014. Known for his collaborations with prominent artists, musicians and muses - from Stephen Sprouse to Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Sofia Coppola and Chloë Sevigny, Marc Jacobs 'changed what it means to be a fashion designer, just as once upon a time Andy Warhol changed what it meant to be an artist', according to fashion historian Valerie Steele. Opening with an essay on the designer's work, Marc Jacobs: Unseen unfolds chronologically, revisiting the designer's most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments of models, hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and Marc Jacobs himself at their most creative. Robert Fairer's stunning and highenergy photographs capture the youth, glamour and spirit that defined Jacobs's shows

A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book. After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood and Versace, Chloé is the eighth in a series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.

Hardcover , ENG, 185 x 130 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour. ISBN 9781802790160. The House of Chanel is synonymous with not one, but two, iconic designers.

Deboutonner La Mode
Hardcover, 164 pages, Texte en Francais , Tres belle exemplaire , 275 x 215 x 20 mm, illustrations en couleur / n/b. ISBN 9782916914541. Ce livre rend hommage aux quelque 3000 boutons rassemblés avec patience et passion par le collectionneur Loïc Allio durant de longues années. Cette collection exceptionnelle a été acquise en 2012 par le musée des Arts décoratifs et 3000 de ces boutons, du XVIIIe au XXe siècle, sont présentés pour la première fois au public dans l'exposition. L'objet, d'apparence si modeste et fragile, et ne tenant qu'à un fil, se révèle être un miroir fidèle des convenances sociales, de la production artistique contemporaine ou encore des progrès techniques dans les arts appliqués. Le bouton endosse diverses fonctions utilitaires et décoratives : il apparaît aussi bien en tant qu'insigne, ornement, catalyseur de la pensée d'un artiste ou d'un créateur, que comme signe d'appartenance à un certain milieu social ou professionnel. Le propos se concentre sur le rapport du bouton au vêtement. Bien qu'il ait parfois disparu de certaines de nos tenues contemporaines, le bouton n'a jamais été supplanté par d'autres systèmes de fermeture. Il sculpte la silhouette, donne son rythme à la tenue, sert de point d'équilibre et de déséquilibre. Sa rotondité évoque celle du monde, dans toute sa diversité. Une commande photographique spécifique a été passée pour cet ouvrage : elle rend compte de l'extrême variété des matériaux et des techniques employés dans la création de boutons d'exception (ivoire, nacre, porcelaine, métaux, pierres précieuses.) comme de plus humbles (coquillages, graines, fleurs séchées, cheveux.). Ce livre est indispensable pour découvrir ce microcosme flirtant parfois avec le luxe de la joaillerie, mais également présent au quotidien, au coeur de gestes inconscients

Les créations de Dries Van Noten voisinent avec les collections de mode des Arts Décoratifs, mais aussi une Vénus d'Yves Klein, une image du film Orange mécanique ou un portrait de David Bowie ... Entre elles se nouent des relations d'analogie ou de confrontation, parfois surprenantes, toujours riches en évocation.
