Désirée Sadek, Guillaume de Laubier
Editions Norma, 1991
Vivre l’Orient est ce voyage qui montre et raconte des univers multiples et étonnants saisis par un regard poète. À la manière d'un enchanteur Guillaume de Laubier donne la parole à l’ocre du désert et met en lumière les fastes et merveilles des palais et demeures, riches d’un savoir-faire ancestral. Et l’on découvre la belle diversité de l’alliance Orient-Occident qui a fait naître en décoration un style novateur tout en couleurs. Et l’on s’arrête devant les gratte-ciel, musées et villas modernes qui révolutionnent l’architecture et le design du monde arabe.
Un ouvrage qui revisite la diversité de l’art de vivre, de l’architecture et du design oriental actuel, de l’Égypte à la Tunisie, en passant par le Liban, la Syrie, la Jordanie, la Turquie, l’Arabie Saoudite, Bahreïn, les Émirats arabes unis, le Qatar mais aussi la Mauritanie et le Maroc.

Carol Woolton, Alexandra Shulman
Conran, 2020
From couture to costume jewellery, the brilliant pieces featured on the pages of British Vogue for almost a century have encapsulated the fashion zeitgeist of each new age for which they were created. Adorning princesses and rock chicks alike, the jewels shown here reveal a dazzling array of styles and moods - from fairy-tale romance to Jazz-age glamour, sculptural modernism to timeless elegance. On every page sumptuous jewellery is the star of the show, nourishing dreams in us all.
In Vogue: The Jewellery Carol Woolton has curated a collection of more than 300 fabulous images and grouped them into five thematic chapters: Show-stoppers, Rock Chick, Minimalist, Exotic and Classical. From fantastical diamond-encrusted tiaras and intricate jet chokers to sculptural silver cuffs and the purity of a simple string of pearls, the book provides an evocative celebration of a century of magical jewellery, while also showcasing the work of British Vogue's very best photographers including Norman Parkinson, Mario Testino, Anthony Denney, David Bailey, Arthur Elgort, Corinne Day, Cecil Beaton, Bruce Weber and Tim Walker.

Volker Hinz
Hartmann Books, 2023
Volker Hinz (1947–2019) was one of the great German photographers of the 20th and early 21st centuries. He himself selected the pictures for the second volume “Carrousel” of the book trilogy (edited by his wife Henriette Väth-Hinz) for an exhibition in 2015. They were taken behind the scenes of countless fashion shows―especially in Paris, where his ticket as a Stern photographer gave him access to areas that remained closed to ordinary photojournalists.

Voyage Through Time: The Masis Collection of Horological Masterpieces

The Masis Collection is one of the most comprehensive privately owned assemblages of pocket watches in the world. Focusing on the watch as a work of art, it encompasses over four hundred years of the watchmaker’s, enameller’s, and goldsmith’s craft. Featuring some of the earliest surviving portable timepieces, the collection includes watches that can be considered among the greatest European miniature works of art ever created. A lush and diverse collection, it is particularly rich in examples of gloriously painted Geneva enamels, particularly those of the Huaud family working in the Baroque period. Its strength also lies in the breathtakingly beautiful enamel watches made for export to China and Turkey in the early years of the nineteenth century.
Written by renowned watch specialist Richard Chadwick, A Voyage Through Time takes the reader on a journey through the development of the mechanical watch, showing how the artistic progression of watch case decoration moved hand in hand with the styles of larger European artistic movements. Lavishly illustrated with more than two hundred full-color images, the book is a rich exploration of masterpieces in watchmaking through the centuries.
