Peter Lindbergh, On Fashion Photography
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.

Love brings love, a homage to Alber Elbaz
AZ Factory
Rizzoli, 2022

Love Brings Love, the celebration of Elbaz’s life and work that concluded Paris Fashion Week on October 5, 2021, remains a unique event in the recent history of the industry. In tribute, forty-four designers, from nearly all the French and Italian maisons, as well as his dear friends in Japan and the United States, created dresses for a memorial fashion show—the first collaborative one to have ever been held in Paris. Of the more than seventy looks, thirty were by Elbaz, posthumously executed by his team at AZ Factory. The international fashion community came as one family to publicly mourn and remember one of their own, with a reverence and affection reserved only for someone so universally and genuinely loved.
This book is divided into three parts, which include texts written by Elbaz prior to his passing; a sequence of sketches by forty-four designers and maisons, including Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, Giambattista Valli, Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Rick Owens, and Valentino, on uncoated stock; and a section of photographs of completed dresses, including dresses designed by Elbaz, on matte coated stock.

The New Beauty: A Modern Look at Beauty, Culture, and Fashion
Anouk Hellmann, Marc Pfister
Gestalten, 2021

In recent years, the beauty industry has shifted the conversation towards the individual in a way it hasnt done before. While people, and women in particular, have historically been enticed into this industry to achieve rather rigid ideals set by society, the current conversations brands and consumers are establishing embrace individuality and celebrate identity. From using makeup as a means to challenge gender, to the link between hairstyling and community-building, or the rituals of skincare as a form of self-care, we are rediscovering beauty as a way of defining who we are and what we value. Modern Beauty explores this shift from historical, scientific and journalistic perspectives, in a title that will not only appeal to industry insiders, but also to all those readers with an interest in feeling well in their own skin and letting the world know.

Rébé, broderies haute couture
Nadia Albertini
Gourcuff, 2021

René Bégué (1887-1987), est à l’origine de Rébé, dont les broderies vont alimenter les créateurs dans le domaine de la haute couture pendant plus d’un demi siècle. René Bégué est un dessinateur de grand talent et un coloriste génial, animé par le goût du faste qui a appris son métier auprès de Poiret et Paquin. Andrée Pichard, que René rencontre au début des années 1920 et qui deviendra son associée et sa femme, a commencé sa carrière comme modiste et possède une excellente connaissance des tissus et a un don particulier pour un agencement et désinhibé des matières. Ensemble ils forment un duo exceptionnel qui va irriguer les plus grandes maisons de haute couture de créations éblouissantes. Rébé est une véritable pépite de la haute couture et du patrimoine textile français, encore inconnu du grand public mais dont le nom résonne comme un mythe chez les couturiers, plus de cinquante ans après la fermeture de l’atelier. En étudiant les croquis, échantillons, les photographies, les modèles conservés dans les archives privées et publiques, l’auteur, Nadia Albertini, retrace pour nous cette histoire fascinante.

Kimono Style, Edo traditions to modern design
Monika Bincsik
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2022

Japan’s engagement with Western clothing, culture, and art in the mid-nineteenth century transformed the traditional kimono and began a cross-cultural sartorial dialogue that continues to this day. This publication explores the kimono’s fascinating modern history and its notable influence on Western fashion. Initially signaling the wearer’s social position, marital status, age, and wealth, older kimono designs gave way to the demands of modernized and democratized twentieth-century lifestyles as well as the preferences of the emancipated “new woman.” Conversely, inspiration from the kimono’s silhouette liberated Western designers such as Paul Poiret and Madeline Vionnet from traditional European tailoring. Juxtaposing never-before-published Japanese textiles from the John C. Weber Collection with Western couture, this book places the kimono on the stage of global fashion history.

Elizabeth Tchoungui
Assouline, 2022

Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style
Jason Jules
Reel Art Press, 2021

From the most avant-garde jazz musicians, visual artists and poets to architects, philosophers and writers, Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style charts a period in American history when Black men across the country adopted the clothing of a privileged elite and made it their own. It shows how a generation of men took the classic Ivy Look and made it cool, edgy and unpredictable in ways that continue to influence today's modern menswear. Here you will see some famous, infamous and not so famous figures in Black culture such as Amiri Baraka, Charles White, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Sidney Poitier, and how they reinvented Ivy and Prep fashion―the dominant looks of the time. The real stars of the book―the Oxford cloth button-down shirt, the hand-stitched loafer, the soft shoulder three-button jacket and the perennial repp tie―are all here. What Black Ivy explores is how these clothes are reframed and redefined by a stylish group of men from outside the mainstream, challenging the status quo, struggling for racial equality and civil rights.
Boasting the work of some of America's finest photographers and image-makers, this must-have tome is a celebration of how, regardless of the odds, great style always wins.

Dior
Farid Chenoune
Editions Assouline, 2007

De toutes les maisons de haute couture, Dior est la plus célèbre et la plus prestigieuse dans le monde. Depuis sa fondation en 1947, elle incarne une vision sublimée et magique de la féminité, à laquelle les successeurs de Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré et John Galliano, sont restés fidèles, tout en la renouvelant chacun à sa façon. Cet ouvrage raconte l'histoire de la maison Dior à travers les métamorphoses de sa haute couture. Organisé en cinq séquences (une par directeur artistique), ce panorama est aussi une histoire de la mode depuis 1947, de ses rêves, de ses réalités, de ses évènements (les défilés, la vie mondaine) et de ses acteurs, stars et anonymes (les "petites mains", les mannequins, la presse, les clientes). Outre une abondante illustration d'époque provenant des meilleurs photographes de mode du moment (Richard Avedon, Henry Clarke, Nick Knight. Willy Maywald, lrving Penn...), 150 modèles parmi les plus beaux des 120 collections de haute couture présentées par Dior en soixante ans d'existence, ont été photographiés en studio par Laziz Hamani. A l'occasion du soixantième anniversaire de la Maison Christian Dior, l'histoire de Dior est retracée à travers 150 modèles de robe.

Hanae Mori Style
Hanae Mori
Kodansha USA Inc, 2001

Since her first smash-hit fashion show in New York's Hotel Delmico thirty-five years ago, designer Hanae Mori has gone from strength to strength, establishing herself as the preeminent Japanese couturiere of the modern period.As Stanley Marcus (former chairman of Neiman Marcus) said: "Her clothes were international silhouette.... Her Oriental color palette, her masterful handling of diaphanous fabrics like chiffon, which she floated over hand-painted and beaded foundations, gave a sense of security to the social leaders who adopted her clothes.... Thanks to Hanae Mori, the prevailing concept that 'made in Japan' meant cheap, poor quality goods was forever destroyed!" Her trademark was the butterfly and, like a butterfly, her career has been restless: never confining herself just to the glitz of seasonal shows in Paris, London, Milan, Munich and New York, she has designed for the ballet (Nureyev's "Cinderella"), the movies, theater, and opera (appropriately, "Madam Butterfly"), and has also created shoe, umbrella, apron, and lacquerware designs.

Liberty of London: Masters of Style & Decoration
Stephen Calloway
Bulfinch Press, 1992

For more than one hundred years the name Liberty of London has been synonymous with the highest achievements in the decorative arts - from fabric to furniture, from carpets to ceramics. A great trading company is always affected by changes in fashion; what gives this one its remarkable distinction is that it has not just followed these changes but helped to create them since 1875. Arthur Lasenby Liberty, its founder, set out to transform the dress and interior decoration of his day; that sense of excitement and innovation has remained integral to his company to this day and continues to appeal to a wide international clientele, making Liberty one of the few names in retailing known worldwide. "This full account of Liberty's accomplishments in the applied arts is therefore also a central history of design over the past century. Organized chronologically and profusely illustrated, it begins with Arthur Liberty's early emporium, selling oriental textiles and imported furnishings, then covers the Aesthetic movement, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, the decorative twenties and thirties, and the revivalism of the fifties and sixties. It ends with a survey of Liberty's current exploration of international modern design. Each section is written by an expert on the relevant period." "The Arts and Crafts movement found Liberty fully established and pursuing the enlightened commissioning that associated the shop with leading craftsmen and designers.

Le pantalon
Collectif
Pièce Détachée, 2019

Pièce détachée est une revue culturelle consacrée au vêtement. Monothématique, elle met à l'honneur un vêtement (ou, par extension, un accessoire) par numéro à travers des articles relevant de champs divers (société mode histoire art & littérature culture pop), des nouvelles, des entretiens et des reportages. Elle donne ainsi la voix à des chercheur·euse·s mais également des écrivain·e·s, des bloggeur·euse·s et autres acteur·trice·s de la mode. À rebours de la presse dite « féminine », Pièce détachée se veut non genrée et intéressera aussi bien les hommes que les femmes. Intemporelle, elle ne traite pas de lactualité de la mode et peut donc, comme un livre, aussi bien se dévorer que se lire parcimonieusement, se garder précieusement et se chérir ! Après la robe, Pièce détachée s'attaque au pantalon. Des sans-culottes à Lady Oscar, en passant par Yves Saint Laurent et le hip-hop, ce numéro vous dira tout sur cette pièce devenue mixte, mais indissociable de l'histoire de l'émancipation des femmes.

Tamy Tazi, Caftans
Nadia Mezian,Nadia Tazi,Daniel Rey,Graziano Villa
Skira, 2011

Tamy Tazi has set her own special mark of distinction on contemporary Moroccan dress: ceremonial or everyday caftans, djellabas, selhams (capes), jackets and serouals Her models embrace two remarkable traditions that both resist the pressures of time. One is the Haute Couture that has long been Tamy Tazis daily bread as Yves Saint-Laurents representative in Morocco. The other is the Moroccan heritage, but not that growing out of the early days Moroccan independence with its glimmers of womens emancipation. Tazi has researched a deeper, more singular tradition, stripping it of folksiness and revitalising it. The union of these two vital sources, each inseminating the other with a grammar that is as articulate as it is festive, has generated a new style in caftans that daringly distinguish themselves from either parent. This book will not only appeal to caftan fans, but to anyone with interest in Morocco culture and fashion.
