  • VERY VINTAGE

    Il vintage è stato un punto di riferimento chiave nella moda per molti anni. Punti vendita contemporanei, come Beyond Retro e Rokit, tra gli altri, hanno contribuito a spingere il vintage nel mainstream, ed è ora più ampiamente associato alle icone di stile contemporaneo rispetto ai negozi di beneficenza ammuffiti. Very Vintage: La Guida ai modelli e all'abbigliamento vintage ti dice tutto ciò che devi sapere sull'abbigliamento vintage, offrendo una straordinaria visione visiva di sette decenni di moda. La guida perfetta per le fashioniste e per tutti coloro che amano i vestiti! Attraverso settant'anni di moda, ogni epoca ha una sezione completa che è splendidamente illustrata con fotografie di moda originali e modelli di abbigliamento. Disposto tematicamente per periodo, il libro ti spiega come realizzare i tuoi abiti in stile "vintage", oltre a offrire suggerimenti su pezzi che si adattano alla forma del tuo corpo e consigli su come personalizzare e alterare abiti vintage - rendendo omaggio alla loro storia dando allo stesso tempo una rilevanza contemporanea. Very Vintage profila designer iconici come Laura Ashley, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Mary Quant, Biba, John Galliano, Christian Dior, Chanel e include un glossario di siti Web e punti vendita per acquistare abiti e materiali vintage.

  • LUCIEN LELONG

    Lucien Lelong è stato una figura centrale della moda francese dagli anni '20 agli anni '50 e i suoi modelli sono stati per molti versi precursori delle forme e degli sviluppi della moda contemporanea. Famoso per la sua abilità, la squisita fattura e gli splendidi tessuti, Lelong ha promosso un look fluido, minimalista ed elegante. Lelong fondeva il design moderno con un forte senso degli affari ed era influente sia per la sua moda che per la sua imprenditorialità. Fu uno dei primi designer a diversificarsi in lingerie, accessori e profumi e nel 1934 introdusse una linea di prêt-à-porter di lusso. Durante l'occupazione nella seconda guerra mondiale, fu determinante nel persuadere i tedeschi a consentire alle case di alta moda francesi di rimanere a Parigi piuttosto che trasferirsi a Berlino. Questa storia meravigliosamente illustrata di Lelong e della sua casa racconta il periodo e le sue personalità, artisti e designer di spicco. I clienti di Lelong includevano Colette, Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson e Rose Kennedy; Balmain, Dior e Givenchy hanno lavorato come apprendisti con lui; e Horst, Beaton, Hoyningen Huene, Man Ray e Lee Miller hanno fotografato i suoi modelli.

  • VALENTINA - AMERICAN COUTURE AND THE CULT OF CELEBRITY

    Valentina was the twentieth century’s first American fashion designer celebrity, working and living on equal social footing with the clientele she dressed (Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, Katharine Hepburn, Millicent Rogers, and Audrey Hepburn, among others). One of the few designers who proved that America could live without the Parisian haute couture, her career is a much needed missing link in the history of American fashion. Beyond merely turning out show-stopping evening gowns, Valentina’s exotic beauty, dramatic personality, and incomparable style earned her a legendary reputation. Kohle Yohannan explores the carefully constructed persona and lore of this designer who helped define American Couture. Published in association with the Museum of the City of New York’s exhibition Valentina: New York Couture and the Cult of Celebrity, this book includes photographs, never-before-seen personal ephemera, sketches, and original platinum prints from master photographers such as Cecil Beaton, Horst P. Horst, and George Hoyningen-Huene.

  • RALPH RUCCI - THE ART OF WEIGHTLESSNESS

    Working quietly and without much public attention for more than 20 years, American fashion designer Ralph Rucci suddenly became a headline topic in 2002, when he was invited to show his collection at the haute couture in Paris - the first American to receive such an invitation since Mainbocher in the 1930s. This sumptuously illustrated book is the first to explore in depth Rucci's life and work, including the inspirations behind the extraordinarily beautiful and very expensive clothes he creates. The contributors to the volume explore many aspects of Rucci's genius and emergence as a master in the fashion world. Valerie Steele places his life and work in the context of modern fashion history and discusses his connections with such figures as Balenciaga and Halston. Patricia Mears closely examines the garments he designs, reveals what makes them so special, and considers influences on his work. Clare Sauro describes Rucci's accessories, which complete the aesthetic vision that his fashions embody. The book is enriched with more than 100 photographs that include catwalk images, fashion shots of Rucci's clients, Chado Ralph Rucci garments from the collection of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology and from his own archives, as well as various inspirational objects and fashions.

  • PIERRE CARDIN

    Giacche senza collo come quelle famose indossate dai Beatles, vestiti dai colletti immensi per le donne; completi dalle linee pulite e nitide che sembrano stare in piedi come manichini; creazioni in sintonia con i movimenti contemporanei nell’arte astratta. E' questo Pierre Cardin.“L’Alta Moda è un laboratorio che permette di studiare le forme e i volumi” afferma lo stilista. Un laboratorio dal quale escono tute spaziali futuriste per lei e completi con cappelli, elmetti e mascherine di plexiglas per lui. Intervistato da David Leitch per il Sunday Times nel 1984, Pierre Cardin afferma che la sua più grande conquista sarebbe stata di camminare nella stessa tuta spaziale indossata da Neil Armstrong sulla luna. La mostra presentata alla Galleria Sozzani raccoglie le creazioni più rappresentative dell\'artista dei decenni ’60 e ’70. Era il 1959 quando Pierre Cardin presentava la sua prima collezione di prêt-à-porter; da lì in poi il suo motto, \"creare\", diventa un proliferare di calzoncini di vinile, mantelli maxi su mini, vestiti asimmetrici, a cerchio e tridimensionali. La sua disposizione ad azzardare esperimenti per il futuro e ricercare l\'avanguardia, lo consacrano come primo e vero anticipatore di tutte le tendenze della moda e del design.

  • ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA

    I primi 100 anni di Zegna raccontati in quattro sezioni sontuosamente illustrate e introdotte da testi inediti curati da esperti, giornalisti e scrittori di fama internazionale (James Hillman, Mariano Maugeri, D.T. Max, Suzy Menkes, Maria Luisa Frisa, Michelangelo Pistoletto e Claudia D’Arpizio): “La Mente” (le quattro generazioni, Zegna tra arte e architettura, filiali, stabilimenti e negozi nel mondo firmati dai grandi protagonisti dell’architettura contemporanea); “La Mano” (la qualità assoluta dei materiali, la produzione dalla lana all’abito, la tecnica e i processi); “Lo Stile” (lo Stile Zegna, la distribuzione, i marchi, la comunicazione); “L’Ambiente” (Zegna e il sociale, l’Oasi e la Fondazione Zegna, i cent’anni di una marca tra natura, arte, musica e letteratura). All’ampia ricostruzione storica dei decenni iniziali della Ermenegildo Zegna Spa fa seguito una dettagliata descrizione dei tessuti, delle tecniche, delle lavorazioni su misura dei capi più esclusivi. Ricchissimo è l’apparato iconografico che illustra le terre di provenienza delle materie prime: Australia, Peru, Mongolia. Altrettanto spettacolare l’album fotografico delle “celebrità” e dei “testimonial” che hanno indossato Zegna, delle campagne pubblicitarie internazionali, così come l’elenco dei premi vinti e degli eventi targati Zegna nel campo dello sport, della cultura, del mecenatismo ambientale e sociale (red carpets, openings, car racing, environmental and sport events).

  • CLAUDE MONTANA FASHION RADICAL

    Claude Montana played a key role in the fashions of the 1980s and ’90s, and – with fashion’s recent return to harder edges – has again become an inspiration for many contemporary fashion designers. The Montana woman embodied razor-sharp tailoring and strong silhouettes with dramatic proportions and masculine lines, enlivened with an astonishing mix of detail and bold hues. Materials, colours and cut were all vehicles for his genius, and it was the Lanvin period in the early 1990s that marked the absolute high point of his creativity. Claude Montana looks at the principles and practices that underpin the Montana universe, the fundamentals of a unique style and dazzling originality. It records many conversations with Claude Montana himself that help us to understand the forces that have shaped his work, while scores of catwalk images and reproductions of his sketches reveal the energy and singularity of his vision. Scattered throughout these pages are intimate comments, moving testimonies and observations by those who have accompanied the designer – among others, the photographers Dominique Issermann, Tyen and Paolo Roversi, the embroiderer François Lesage, the designer Alain Mikli and the make-up artist Olivier Echaudemaison.

  • EMILIO CAVALLINI

    Un viaggio attraverso l’universo artistico del celebre creatore di calze femminili. Gli enigmi dell’universo possono essere enunciati artisticamente da un autore appassionato quanto determinato. Si tratta dell’anomalo percorso intrapreso con assoluta naturalezza da Emilio Cavallini, imprenditore di calzetteria che da oltre trent’anni ha sovrastato il mercato con l’invenzione dell’abito per le gambe. L’opera qui proposta illustra il sinuoso viaggio timonato dal respiro d’amore per l’arte da cui Cavallini trae l’ispirazione per i motivi decorativi impressi nelle trame studiate fino a trasformare la calza femminile (non la gamba) in un elemento o accessorio dominante quanto determinante dell’apparizione fisica. Oltre alle creazioni stagionali, l’imprenditore-artista si è recentemente dedicato allo studio della matematica, alla sintassi dell’architettura per comporre in un crescendo disciplinato e anarchico oggetti piatti e concavi, grandi e contenuti, espansi nel reame dei colori vivi utilizzando l’amata calza, a sua volta prodotta dalle sue modernissime macchine tessili. Un libro d’artista – in un’originale confezione – che racconta la storia di una passione senza vanità, di un sapere osservare la materia, ricercare, catturare lo spirito del tempo al di sopra delle tempeste per sublimare il banale osando varcare le soglie dell’arte. Il volume è correlato da testi di eminenti critici d’arte quali Laura Cherubini, Silvia Pegoraro e Sergio Risaliti mentre Benedetta Barzini traccia un profilo del brillante imprenditore e autore protagonista di oggetti in libertà.

  • THEA PORTER - Bohemian Chic

    Thea Porter (1927 - 2000) came to epitomize bohemian chic in 1970s London, developing a unique aesthetic that drew on an eclectic mix of luxurious fabrics, signature dresses and Soho laissez-faire.

Alongside the individual chapters, three designers that made their mark on fashion are discussed, as well as three key looks per decade. Many of the designers are household names; some are lesser known. But all these individuals, whether through their designs or their business practices, are exemplars of their age.
