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.

Gianni Versace

Assouline, 2022
When Virgil Abloh took his first bow for Louis Vuitton in June 2018, fashion changed forever. The newest addition to the Classics Collection, Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh honors the designer’s boundary-breaking creativity on and off the runways. With over 250 stunningly iconic images and personal reflections from Abloh’s inner circle, including Nigo, Naomi Campbell, Luka Sabbat, Kendall Jenner and Kid Cudi, the book is the definitive chronicle of a partnership that redefined not only dress codes but their very vocabulary.
Made in Italy, the Classics collection editions are available in two different silk hardcovers. One cover features a cartoon artwork from Virgil’s spring-summer 2021 show by cultural icon and artist Reggieknow, and the other cover is taken from Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton’s spring-summer 2022 spinoff show in Miami.

Andrew Bolton
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2023
This first complete investigation into Karl Lagerfeld’s (1933–2019) artistry explores his extraordinary 65-year career, from the designs for Chloé and Fendi in the 1960s and 1970s to his celebrated leadership in the 1980s and beyond at Chanel and with his own label. Inspired by the “line of beauty” theorized by eighteenth-century English painter William Hogarth, this dazzling publication pursues the straight and serpentine “lines” and their intersections in Lagerfeld’s work as a means of understanding his unique creative process. The book’s elegant parchment and cloth cover, emulating an artist’s portfolio, opens onto a pageant of stunning new photography by Julia Hetta of Lagerfeld’s fashion alongside the designer’s original sketches. The juxtaposition of drawings with finished pieces offers a window into Lagerfeld’s creative brilliance. Texts include personal reflections from Lagerfeld’s premières d’ateliers—the seamstresses behind his extraordinary creations—as well as Anna Wintour, Patrick Hourcade, Amanda Harlech, and Tadao Ando. Not only a lavish objet but also an important resource on Lagerfeld, the book concludes with an illustrated timeline of the designer’s long and illustrious career.

Valerie Steele, Suzy Menkes
Taschen, 2021
Ce recueil mis à jour et plus accessible rassemble des photographies de centaines de vêtements choisis parmi les collections permanentes du musée. Robe du soir précieuse en velours brodé ou minimalisme chic à la Mondrian, chaque pièce a été sélectionnée pour sa beauté bien sûr, mais aussi pour son intérêt, en ce qu'elle est l'incarnation de la philosophie ou du style d'un des créateurs évoqués. L'ouvrage est introduit par la directrice et conservatrice en chef du musée, Valerie Steele, qui raconte le développement des musées consacrés à la mode et l'émergence de l'exposition de mode comme phénomène populaire et controversé. La préface de la prêtresse du style Suzy Menkes ainsi que les textes signés par les conservateurs du musée reviennent sur le contexte historique de chaque marque et pièce présentées, tandis que les portraits de l'artiste Robert Nippoldt rendent hommage à ces grands créateurs.
