TIFFANY IN FASHION,
, New York, Harry N. Abrams, 2003, Bound, black cloth, illustrated dustjacket, 230 x 310mm., 272pp., magnificent colour pictures.
Two enormously popular subjects?? dazzling jewelry by Tiffany's designers and fabulous fashion photography?? combine in the newest book by Tiffany design director John Loring, author of many resplendent volumes about American style seen from the vantage point of the preeminent purveyor of fine jewelry and other luxury goods. Fashion experts credit Coco Chanel and her ???little black dress??? of 1924 with bringing fashion into modern times. But it took great fashion photography by notables from Steichen to Hiro, and jewelry as the ultimate fashion accessory, to propel fashion on its way to becoming the star-studded industry it is today. Tiffany in Fashion is a veritable visual feast?? with 250 glamorous images tracing the simultaneous growth of fashion photography and fine jewelry, from Richard Avedon's society fashion portrait for Harper's Bazaar of Elizabeth Taylor's bare back bedecked in exquisite Tiffany cultured pearls, to Scavullo's photograph of Paloma Picasso wearing her amply scaled gold earrings and bracelet, polygonal amethyst ring, and chrysophase bracelet. Eleanor Lambert, the ???godmother of American fashion,??? and dean of American fashion designers James Galanos add their personal reminiscences to John Loring's engaging and informative text. New book.

, TeNeues, 2024 HB, 300 x 235 mm, 208 p, 180 illustrations in color ; EN-GE edition, . ISBN 9783961715619.
"Black isn't a colour"? In the world of coveted fashion brands, it certainly is, and one of the most crucial at that. That's why authors Heide Christiansen and Martin Fraas have dedicated the second installment of their Fashion, Styles & Stories series to the theme of black. In The Black Book: Fashion, Styles & Stories, they showcase how expressive and powerful this colour can be in the context of fashion. Black caresses, exudes elegance, and simultaneously embodies rebellion. The black sheath dress harmoniously coexists with the black biker jacket, demonstrating the versatility of this colour. Through captivating fashion photographs straight from the runways of top designers, Christiansen and Fraas explore various shades of the black look, providing readers with intriguing background stories. They present black as the underlying theme in haute couture, high fashion, and street style. Diversity and inspiration take centre stage in this coffee table book. Exploring The Black Book becomes a true delight and a must for any fashion enthusiast. However, The Black Book: Fashion, Styles & Stories is not only a treat for fashion aficionados. Anyone seeking an exceptionally beautiful coffee table book should take a closer look. Because 'Black' captivates with a particularly high-quality visual and tactile experience. This is a book not only to be looked at with pleasure but also to be held, a jewel in any home. For those in search of a uniquely fresh fashion book that creatively engages with current brands and has the potential to become a classic, The Black Book: Fashion, Styles & Stories is a must-read.
[Aus: Allgemeine Moden-Zeitung & Les Modes Parisiennes Réunis]. Collection of 100 engraved and coloured fashion-plates. - [HIGH FASHION FROM PARIS - 100 COLOURED PLATES]
[Leipzig, Industrie-Comptoir / Baumgärtner etc.], (1833-1856). Small queer-folio (22 x 28,5) cm. Nice later light brown half calf from ca. 1900 with five raised bands and gilt lines to spine (Carl Petersens Enke). Slight wear to extremities. 100 engraved plates, in contemporary colouring. A bit of even browning and occasional offsetting. A few plates with more browning. Some plates with tiny holes in blank margin, from original stiching (having been vertically bound with text-leaves). Occasional light creasing. One plate with a tear (no loss). A few plates signed A. Brückner, most plates numbered and dated, and some plates having ""Extra-Kupfer"" or ""Les Modes Parisiennes Réunis"" (the last five) underneath.
A lovely collection of 100 beautiful contemporarily coloured engraved fashion-plates from between 1833 and 1856, importing the highest Parisian fashion of the time to Germany. This beautiful collection magnificently documents the clothing fashion and development of two decades, primarily for women, but also for children and men. Also in the mid-19th-century, Paris was seen as the quintessence of elegance and style. The Allgemeine Moden-Zeitung kept the German-speaking public up to date with the latest fashions from Paris. The magazine “Les modes parisiennes reunites” did the same"" that too was produced for the German public, despite its French title. As well as outfits for appearing in high society, eg. at the theatre, the fashion plates collected here show clothes and notably also accessories for almost all other parts of life - paying and receiving social calls, going for walks, attending different events, musical siorées, going out with the children, etc. “As part of her evening wardrobe, every fashionable lady simply had to have elegant dresses in brightly coloured silks and satins, with frills and lace, bows and flounces, tight bodices, natural waistlines and exposed shoulders, which gave the female figure an hour-glass silhouette. The first thing that strikes one about these ladies’ fashions are the stiff, voluminous underskirts. Horsehair crinolines (invented in 1850) supported wide, sweeping skirts, which could measure up to two or two-and-a-half metres in diameter and made the upper body look even slimmer.” (Deutsches Historisches Museum). ""From the 1820s onwards, and particularly under the ostentatious Second Empire (1852–1870), the classicising taste of the Napoleonic era changed completely. Instead, fashion now drew inspiration from the elegance of the Rococo period, so much so that the period became known as the “second Rococo”. The waistline returned to its natural level but was awkwardly styled – at least from a health point of view: agonisingly tight corsets emphasised the so-called “wasp waist”. Ostensibly guided by aesthetics, on closer inspection this fashion trend also had social consequences: with styles that afforded women so little freedom of movement, fashion focused on the ostentatious requirements of ladies from the upper echelons of society, who didn’t have to work. Practicality was not its concern. This ostentatious and – certainly from the perspective of the 21st century – inconvenient fashion style appealed not only to the fine ladies of high society, but also to women from the middle classes and the petty bourgeoisie. The expansion of the textile industry and the rise of the chemical industry made the production of dyes, fabrics, lace, and embroidery and the processing of raw materials and textiles imported from the colonies both quicker and cheaper.” (DHM)
Dirk Bikkembergs 25 Years of Athletes and Fashion. Antwerp six.
, Rizzoli, 2014 Hardcover Cloth, 448 pages very richly illustrated with coloured illustrations, 38x29cm *BRANDNEW. ISBN 9780847841622.
This volume marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the groundbreaking fashion designer who bridged the exclusivity and sex appeal of fashion and the universality and masculinity of sports. One of the much-written-about Antwerp Six group of influential cutting-edge Belgian fashion designers, Dirk Bikkembergs audaciously chose to focus his designs on the intersection between fashion and sport, particularly pieces designed for or inspired by soccer. Seeing sports as a universal language, Bikkembergs designed haute couture for athletes who are themselves already aesthetic icons of masculinity. The first designer to hold a fashion show in a sports stadium, Bikkembergs uses his local soccer team as a laboratory for styling with the latest fabric technology, creating designs that are sexy yet comfortably flexible, from exclusive jackets to high-performance underwear and sporty street shoes. In this handsome book, all of his one-of-a-kind designs are showcased in photographs taken in various locations around the world.
