V knize se autoři pokusili vyvrátit obecně zažitou představu, že Římané ostatní národy výrazně převyšovali, a proto se jim podařilo vytvořit velké impérium. Tento názor se rozšířil, neboť většina historických pramenů byla vytvořena samotnými Římany. Terry Jones, člen skupiny Monty Pythonův létající cirkus a nyní popularizátor historie, spolu s profesorem Alanem Ereirou, nám dějiny Říma podávají z pohledu `barbarů`, což je v tomto případě obecný termín pro kmeny západní a severní Evropy a částečně i Středního východu. Ve skutečnosti byli Keltové, Germáni, Vandalové, Řekové, Peršané, Hunové i Gótové technologicky, ekonomicky i intelektuálně minimálně na stejné úrovni jako Římané, jen bohužel stáli v boji na nesprávné straně. Publikace, která doprovází stejnojmenný seriál televize BBC, velmi čtivým způsobem přibližuje méně známé aspekty z dějin Říma.

Fashion Now 2 je rozšíreným vydaním sprievodcu svetom najvýznamnejších módnych návrhárov sveta od najväčších hráčov v medzinárodnom priemysle po športové a nezávislé značky. Pripravil ho kultový britský časopis i-D. Fotografie, odrážajúce najlepšiu módu a styling, pochádzajú z archívu časopisu, textovú časť tvorí úvod od jeho zakladateľa a šéfredaktora Terryho Jonesa a podrobné články o faktoroch, ktoré ovplyvňujú dnešnú tvár módy: systém módnych prehliadok, postavenie návrhára vo vzťahu k celebritám a rastúci význam pánskej módy.

Kleidung als Konzept Die extravagante Lady hinter der Kultmarke Comme des Garçons Rei Kawakubo, die Gründerin des innovativen japanischen Modehauses Comme des Garçons, entwirft nicht bloß Kleidung; ihre Vision umfasst auch Möbel, Architektur und Grafikdesign. "Schlechter Stil" wäre für diesen weiblichen Samurai ein zu mickriger Gegner, und so attackiert Kawakubo lieber gleich dessen Ursache: spießiges Denken. In diesem Buch erforschen Autoren des Magazins i-D nun ihre Welt der kompexen Konzepte. Sie stöberten im Archiv der Zeitschrift und in alten Interviews, um zu erklären, weshalb und wodurch dieses Modelabel westliche Vorstellungen zu Körperkontur und Schneiderkunst derart herausfordert. Denn Rei Kawakubo brach nicht einfach nur mit dem less is more der Moderne, sie erschüttert unsere Idee von Bekleidung in den Grundfesten und verwischt dabei die Grenzen zwischen Mode und Kunst auf immer neue, immer wieder überraschende Weise. 120 Seiten, nach denen man Mode mit anderen Augen sieht. Mit biografischen und persönlichen Informationen zur "japanischen Coco Chanel", Fotografien von Paolo Roversi, David Bailey oder Emma Summerton sowie Interviews mit der Designerin von Jamie Huckbody, Josh Sims und Terry Jones. P. S.: Sie denken, Kleidung muss mehr als "$$$" sagen? Dann ist dieser Band genau das Richtige für Sie.

Die Archive des Modemagazins i-D bieten einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Welt der legendären britischen Modedesignerin Vivienne Westwood. Dieses Buch enthält Interviews und Porträts aus den Punk-Jahren zu Beginn ihrer Karriere in den 80ern bis heute. Es dokumentiert Westwoods Neuerfindung der viktorianischen Reifröcke, ihre Gedanken zum Einfluss der Mode auf die Gesellschaft und ihren Weg zur originellsten Designerin des Königreichs. Westwoods Beliebtheit nimmt von Jahr zu Jahr weiter zu, und heute wird sie von jungen Modefans, die sie gerade erst entdeckt haben, ebenso verehrt wie von denen, die ihre Karriere schon immer verfolgt haben. Diese 120 Seiten enthalten biografische und persönliche Informationen, Bilder von Fotografen wie Juergen Teller, Nick Knight und Chen Man sowie Interviews mit Caroline Baker, Caryn Franklin, Ben Reardon und Terry Jones.

Als einer der intellektuellsten Designer der Modebranche entwirft Yohji Yamamoto Kleidung, die manchmal etwas verkopft wirkt. Sie ist aber immer wunderschön. Die Archive des Modemagazins i-D bieten einen Einblick in Yohjis Gedankenwelt seit den 1990ern. Es geht um seine Bewunderung für die weibliche Form, den schmerzhaften Prozess, aus Mode Anti-Mode zu machen, und um die Frage, wie er es schafft, dass seine zeitlosen nützlichen Designs gleichzeitig klassisch und avantgardistisch sind. Dieser Band mit 120 Seiten enthält biografische und persönliche Informationen, Bilder von Fotografen wie Paolo Roversi, Max Vadukal und Nick Knight sowie Interviews mit Jamie Huckbody, Holly Shackleton und Terry Jones.

Bringing sleek to the streets. This title deals with Raf Simons' youth culture-inspired, elegant tailoring. Poetic, elegant, and free-thinking, Raf Simons is one of the most exciting designers working in fashion today. His passion for music, art, and contemporary culture infiltrates everything he does. A former industrial designer, Simons first burst on to the scene in 1995 with the launch of his menswear label. His trademark slim tailoring and penchant for street-casting his models went on to shape an entire generation and cemented his position as one of the most revolutionary contemporary menswear designers. Simons was appointed creative director of Jil Sander in 2005; during his six-year tenure he repositioned the brand at the height of the luxury market, not only satisfying the German label's loyal fanbase, but also recruiting a legion of new fans. Simons' appointment as artistic director of Dior in 2012 caused frissons of excitement in the fashion industry and marked the beginning of a momentous new chapter for the Belgian designer. In this stunning photographic book, "i-D" celebrates Raf Simons' own menswear label, his work for Jil Sander, and his new appointment of Dior. Simons' first two highly anticipated collections for the Parisian house, together with an exclusive interview, are all included. Delving deep into the "i-D" archive, the large format 120 page portfolio includes stunning imagery from photographers including Willy Vanderperre, Solve Sundsbo and Alasdair McLellan, together with interviews by Terry and Tricia Jones, Holly Shackleton, Jo-Ann Furniss, and James Anderson.

Glunge guru - Glamour meets grunge in the dark, dramatic world of Rick Owens. There are a few other designers like Rick Owens, whose work is so instantly recognizable by cut and bias alone. Born in California, Rick Owens launched his eponymous label in 1994. His draped, dark, and perfectly cut aesthetic is the antithesis of the sunshine-saturated, bleached-teeth image of LA, and in many ways has been integral to his success. Owens relocated to Paris in 2003, where his goth meets grunge aesthetic - affectionately known as "glunge" - continues to grow from season and season. Today, Owens is a much loved and respected fixture on the international fashion scene. His vision stretches beyond fashion to include furniture, jewelry, and fur. As well as four fashion collections a year, Owens also designs Lilies, a successful diffusion line that offers a more playful take on the designer's signature style, a bespoke line of furniture that incorporates everything from antlers to stone and wood, and his own fur collection entitled Palais Royal.
