Patterns, Inside the Design Library
Peter Koepke
Phaidon, 2022
Every season, designers from fashion, home furnishings, textiles, graphic arts, and paper-product industries seek inspiration from patterns to bring their collections to life. Many of these designers - including Beacon Hill, Boden, Calvin Klein, Clinique, Colefax & Fowler, Lululemon, Nike, Oscar de la Renta, Pottery Barn, and Target - look to the Design Library, the world's largest archive of surface design. This one-of-a-kind book, drawn from the Design Library's archive, is an exclusive and ultimate sourcebook of pattern and ornament.

Alfons Kaiser
Thames & Hudson, 2022
Karl Lagerfeld lived a very public life. He shaped the Chanel and Fendi brands for decades, and his wit and wisdom amused and informed the world. Yet despite a massively public persona, his hinterland remained unknown. What is the truth behind this larger-than-life but enigmatic figure?
The journalist and fashion specialist Alfons Kaiser met Lagerfeld on numerous occasions. He has now written the first authoritative biography on this fascinating character, whose life has always been marked by elements of secrecy. From his parents’ links with the Nazi regime to Lagerfeld’s last days in the company of only his closest friends, this book – the result of unprecedented archival and field work – divulges all the facets of a passionate artist and workaholic: the precocious boy who preferred to draw in the attic rather than play with his peers; the son who quarrelled with his parents but never got away from them; the competitor of Yves Saint Laurent, whom he outshone in the end; the brother, uncle, friend; and finally, the partner of Jacques de Bascher, the great love of his life.

Robert Fairer
Editions de la Martinière, 2022
Ce livre présente les photographies inédites prises par Robert Fairer dans les ateliers, les salons et les coulisses des collections de Karl Lagerfeld pour Chanel – à une époque où très peu de photographes avaient accès à ces espaces. Une vision unique au cœur du travail d’un créateur de mode de légende.

Karl Lagerfeld Unseen : les années Chanel montre les créations – prêt-à-porter et haute couture – de Karl Lagerfeld pour Chanel. Des textes signés par ses plus proches collaborateurs et ses amis offrent une nouvelle perspective sur son processus créatif et révèlent la genèse de créations devenues iconiques. Les 250 photographies de cet ouvrage rendent palpable l’énergie des préparatifs des défilés, tout comme elles restituent avec justesse le raffinement des essayages dans l’intimité des fameux salons – ivoire et noir – de la rue Cambon.

Peter Lindbergh
Taschen, 2020
It was on a Malibu beach in 1988 that Peter Lindbergh shot the White Shirts series, images now known the world over. Widely considered a pioneer in his field, Lindbergh shirked the industry standards of beauty and instead celebrated the essence and individuality of his subjects.
From the outset of his career, Lindbergh was well-known in the contemporary art world, where his photographs were exhibited in galleries long before they appeared in magazines. This book gathers more than 300 images from forty years of Lindbergh’s career. It traces the German photographer’s cinematic inflections and humanist approach, which produced images at once seductive and introspective. This edition features an updated introduction adapted from an interview in 2016, allowing a glimpse behind Lindbergh’s lens, where the photographer recounts his early collaborations, the tenuous relationship between commercial and fine art, and the power of storytelling.
