St. Moritz Chic
Dora Lardelli
Assouline, 2021
Nestled in Switzerland’s alpine Engadin Valley, St. Moritz stands on its own amidst a sea of celebrated ski resorts in that it has long maintained an elusive allure. The winter home of personalities from Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli to Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that manage to unite so many of the top names in cinema, art, and fashion all in one place, year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock’s favorite haunts and the hidden parties at Badrutt’s Palace where royalty goes to play, without forgetting the natural beauty, village charm and architectural mastery that define it. St. Moritz also takes readers on a majestic tour of its special events, from Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Cup, as well as the summertime Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal, and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it a home away from home.

Aspen Style
Aerin Lauder
Assouline, 2021
What began as a small mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom of the late nineteenth century has since become the preferred getaway of the world’s elite. Treasured for what’s above ground rather than below, Aspen, Colorado has a storied history almost as dense as the directory of A-listers who have adopted the jewel of Pitkin County as their second home, or who have settled in its slopes indefinitely. With an introduction from longtime resident Aerin Lauder, founder & creative director of AERIN, Aspen Style celebrates and pays homage to the stark glamour, the working-class history, and the romance of the virtually untouched landscape that gives the town the unique charisma that continues to draw new devotees with each season. Exploring the rustic-chic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer’s restored Wheeler Opera House, and local culture found at Schlomo’s Deli & Grill, to name a few, this deluxe volume is brought to life with stunning current and historical imagery capturing the prodigious evolution of this mountain town over the last century.

Capitale historique et culturelle de premier plan, Londres est une ville qui ne cesse de surprendre. Située au fond d'un estuaire, elle s'est enrichie grâce au commerce maritime. Depuis elle n'a eu de cesse de s'étendre. Connue pour ses quartiers historiques situés autour du parlement et de l'abbaye de Westminster, la richesse de la vie londonienne se retrouve également dans les quartiers touristiques du West End ou de Camden Town. Du swinging London des années 1960 au cool Britain de Tony Britain, le rôle avant-gardiste de la culture anglaise tant dans le domaine de la musique, que de la mode ou du cinéma est mis en lumière. Riche de plus de 500 illustrations, cette monographie invite le lecteur à découvrir les multiples facettes de la ville.

Assouline, 2018
New York is a city whose DNA comes from all over the world, a fantastic and unique place belonging to America yet not completely American. Such a strong cultural personality deserves a book, and Martine Assouline introduces this grand new title as "a little tribute to the New York I love." Travel through the most important periods of this great city and into all its boroughs, from Manhattan and Brooklyn to the Bronx and Queens to Staten Island with glimpses into its history and the development of its world- renown skyline. Discover stories from immigration in the early twentieth century to Prohibition in the 1920s to the youth revolution in the sixties. Remember the best moments in Broadway and the discos at Studio 54; dream with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote, and Audrey Hepburn or Madonna and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Eric Alibert
Editions Slatkine, 2011
Ce livre est celui d'un peintre amoureux de la montagne, marcheur contemplatif fasciné par la beauté et la diversité du massif du Mont-Blanc. Pendant plusieurs saisons, Eric Alibert a parcouru le sentier qui fait le tour du massif et traverse trois pays : la France, l'Italie, la Suisse. Depuis les forêts où tambourine le pic noir jusqu'aux névés que survole l'aigle royal, l'artiste a dessiné et peint une nature superbe : le bleu intense et intraduisible de la petite gentiane vernale au col de Tricot, une lumière inouïe sur les Grandes forasses, un soir au refuge Bonatti, la petite chapelle de Ferret qui attend l'hiver… Cet ouvrage est une invitation au voyage, à l'humilité qu'inspire la montagne quand nous la découvrons.
