Publikace formou fotografické dokumentace a podrobného komentáře zpřístupňuje nejvýznamnější ukázky funkcionalistické typografie ze soukromé sbírky pedagoga UMPRUM Karla Císaře. Autor tím navazuje na podobně koncipované předešlé monografie Zdeňka Primuse či Johna Vloemanse. Oproti nim se však soustřeďuje výhradně na funkcionalistickou typografii přelomu dvacátých a třicátých let 20. století, od slavného Rossmannova sborníku Fronta přes Teigovy architektonické publikace, Sutnarovy výstavní katalogy a Tschinkelovy didaktické příručky, až po méně známé soukromé tisky Antonína Jera. V katalogu pak zohledňuje především jejich – pro funkcionalismus charakteristické – spojení abstraktních forem s fotografiemi nové věcnosti, které měly vést k vytvoření „nového druhu obrazového písma“. Záměrem publikace není pouze prezentovat izolované knižní obálky, ale také srovnat grafické řešení souborů a sledovat užívání prázdného prostoru, redukci geometrických prvků, použití obrazové statistiky a fotomontážních postupů na obálkách. Kniha není určena jen odborníkům z oblasti dějin grafického designu či dějin moderního umění, ale i ostatním zájemcům o tuto problematiku. Grafika Petr Bosák, Robert Jansa.

Raketový vzestup Christiana Diora do nejvyšších pater pařížského módního světa tvoří jeden z nejúžasnějších příběhů v dějinách módy. Dior - se zkušenostmi galeristy, moderní vizí a respektem k tradicím francouzské haute couture - vstoupil na scénu v roce 1947 jako tvůrce siluety new look a přinesl revoluční proměny do způsobů, jimiž se ženy oblékají, nakupují a vnímají samy sebe. ***** Kniha Dior do kabelky vypráví o mládí Christiana Diora, vzniku značky, která nese jeho jméno, triumfech sklízených na přehlídkových molech i na červených kobercích a vývoji, jímž firma prošla po smrti svého zakladatele. Odborně sestavený výběr fotografií, doplněný zasvěceným textem uznávané módní žurnalistky Karen Homerové, provází čtenáře po cestě, kterou dosud urazila značka symbolizující nádheru, vzrušení a ženskost.

Reprezentatívna obrazová publikácia poprednej slovenskej textilnej výtvarníčky a módnej návrhárky Ley Fekete. V slovenskom kontexte ide o prvú monografiu o módnej návrhárke. Fekete svojou multižánrovosťou prekračuje hranice voľnej autorskej tvorby od odevnej, textilnej k šperku, od zákazkovej modelovej tvorby k produktovému dizajnu, od módy ku kostýmu. Predstaviť čitateľom jej tvorbu si preto vyžadovalo spoluautorský tím. Publikáciu otvára veľmi osobný príhovor režisérky, scenáristky a spisovateľky Evy Borušovičovej, ktorá s Leou Fekete opakovane spolupracovala. Nástup Ley na módnu scénu v turbulentných 90. rokoch predstavili historička umenia Katarína Hubová a módna teoretička a publicistka Dana Lapšanská. Historička módy Eva Hasalová analyzuje odevnú tvorbu Ley Fekete a Viera Kleinová, historička umenia a kurátorka niektorých Leiných výstav, sa v dvoch samostatných textoch vyjadrila k tvorbe šperkov a bytových textílií. Leu Fekete ako kostýmovú výtvarníčku predstavila historička umenia a divadelná teoretička Zuzana Gašpar Koblišková. Knihu dopĺňa rozhovor so známym slovenským violončelistom Jozefom Luptákom, ktorý si na vystúpenia oblieka už takmer 20 rokov košele od Ley Fekete. V závere nechýba prehľadne spracované podrobné curriculum vitae. Táto mimoriadne pútavá a vizuálne impozantná monografia uspokojí nielen odbornú verejnosť, ale aj všetkých milovníkov módy a krásna. Publikácia je dvojjazyčná – slovensko-anglická. The representative illustrated publication by the leading Slovak textile artist and fashion designer Lea Fekete. It is the first monograph on a fashion designer in the Slovak context. Fekete's multi-genre work crosses the boundaries of free authorial creation from clothing, textile to jewellery, from custom model making to product design, from fashion to costume. Presenting her work to readers therefore required a team of co-authors. The publication opens with a very personal introduction by the director, screenwriter, and writer Eva Borušovičová, who has collaborated with Lea Fekete on numerous occasions. Lea's emergence on the fashion scene in the turbulent 1990s is presented by the art historian Katarína Hubová and the fashion theorist and publicist Dana Lapšanská. The fashion historian Eva Hasalová analyses Lea Fekete's clothing production and Viera Kleinová, art historian and curator of some of Lea's exhibitions, comments on the creation of jewellery and home textiles in two separate texts. Lea Fekete as a costume designer was introduced by the art historian and theatre theorist Zuzana Gašpar Koblišková. The book is accompanied by an interview with the well-known Slovak cellist Jozef Lupták, who has been wearing Lea Fekete's shirts for his performances for almost 20 years. A clearly detailed curriculum vitae is included at the end. This extremely engaging and visually impressive monograph will satisfy not only the professional public, but also all lovers of fashion and beauty. The publication is bilingual: in Slovak and English.

Ez a könyv a világ egyik legszebb, leggazdagabb Zsolnay-gyűjteményét mutatja be, amelyet a Magyarországon született, Amerikában élő egykori tulajdonosa évtizedeken át gyűjtött kiváló ízléssel, szakértelemmel és szeretettel a világ különböző pontjain. Gyugyi László úgy döntött, hogy az egykor világhódító útjukra indult műveket visszajuttatja "szülővárosukba". Így vált lehetővé, hogy a Zsolnay Kulturális Negyed díszeként, a Sikorski-házban 2010-ben megnyílt állandó kiállításon a nagyközönség is megismerkedhetett az igényes kerámiákkal. A nagy siker és a szeretetteljes fogadtatás a gyűjtőt arra ösztönözte, hogy az évek során a kiállított alkotások számát évről évre gyarapítsa, sőt példája másokat is erre inspirált. Kötetünk - a gyűjteményt és a kiállítást bemutató albumok sorában immár ötödikként - ezt a kibővített anyagot tárja az érdeklődők elé eddig még nem publikált 34 új műtárggyal, a maga teljességében. A jelenleg 710 mesterműből álló gyűjtemény a historizmus, a millennium és a szecesszió időszakából a Zsolnay-gyár csúcsalkotásait foglalja magában, amelyek valaha világkiállításokra vagy külföldi piacokra készültek. A legújabb kutatásokat is feldolgozó, szakértői tanulmányok a gyűjtők számára, az igényes felvételek pedig a művészi tárgyak szerelmeseinek kínálnak meglepetéseket. A bemutatott vázák, tálak, korsók, lámpák, szobrok vagy faliképek egyszerre sugározzák a régmúlt varázsos hangulatát, és közvetítik a művészet időtlen ragyogását.

The posters in this inspirational book can be pulled out and put up on the wall. Each poster comes with a short accompanying text about its history.

Legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent’s maxims on haute couture, women, style, and elegance, presented in an attractive gift format. Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1962, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing Le Smoking, the first tuxedo suit for women, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presented iconic, art-inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection. The designer put the women who wore his clothes first (“What’s most important in couture is the body we dress, the woman we dress, more so than the ideas we might have”) and was determined to change attitudes of the era (“Fashion’s purpose is not only to make women look beautiful, but also to reassure them and to give them confidence”). He could be critical of the fashion industry (“I adore clothes but I hate fashion”), and he saw himself as a craftsman who perfectly understood his customer (“I think there are three kinds of designers. The great ones, the true ones, and the ones who know how to delight a woman just by making a very simple dress, or a very simple suit”). Presented in a beautiful package and accessible format, The World According to Yves Saint Laurent is the perfect gift for fashion fans, capturing the essence of a true visionary. 40 color illustrations.
