Lucian Bernhard (1883–1972) byl jedním z velkých zakladtelů moderního grafického designu. V kariéře trvající téměř pět desetiletí v Berlíně a New Yorku položil Bernhard základ pro nový jazyk formy a komunikace. Jeho brilantní plakáty, reklamy, návrhy knih a písma vytvořily samotný vzhled dvacátého století a dále. V této bohatě ilustrované knize sleduje známý historik designu Christopher Long Bernhardův život a kariéru, odhaluje nové pravdy a bourá staré mýty.

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.

This monograph shows how the oloid, a timelessly beautiful geometric body, serves today more than ever as a source of inspiration and functional component in the visual arts and design, in technology and research, in architecture, philosophy, and music. In 1929, the sculptor, inventor and researcher Paul Schatz (1898-1971) discovered the geometric form of the oloid. Schatz' lifework was characterized by this fundamentally new body, which emerged from movement, for which he sought and found new and pioneering applications for a number of decades. This monograph, rich in images and generally understandable, shows how today, more than ever, the timelessly beautiful oloid serves as a source of inspiration and a functional element. This is true for the fine arts and design, in technology and research, in architecture, philosophy or music. Close aesthetic references to the contemporaneous sculptures of Naum Gabo, Constantin Brancusi, or Henry Moore are just as surprising as current homages to Paul Schatz by artists such as Ólafur Eliasson. As simple as it is complex, at the same time elegant and powerful, the oloid proves to be a universal body that has not yet revealed all its secrets and potential.

The classic elegant English typeface, still widely used as a book text more than 250 years since its creation. Baskerville is a transitional design, poised between the first metal types and modern styles, notable for its combination of fat and thin strokes. When it was first used there was genuine concern that it would damage readers' eyes. John Baskerville was a maverick lacquer maker and printer in Birmingham, a flamboyant dresser, an important figure in the Enlightenment. Though it earned him little money, he was obsessive about both his typeface and its appearance on the page, a perfectionism culminating in his magnificent Bible. The story encompasses one of the first powerful women of the printing world, his wife Sarah Baskerville, and the many typefaces the Baskervilles inspired. And it examines why John Baskerville's body was dug up and buried many times before it was finally allowed to rest in peace.

Comic Sans is one of the most used and most reviled typefaces of the digital age. How was it made? How could it spawn a movement to ban it and yet still be so widely promoted by educators? What does its accidental creator make of its contentious and singular history? This quirky and unique book considers how the computer transformed type into something that anyone could use and have an opinion on. It examines how a typeface, correctly used, may sell us almost anything, and how new types with names such as Crash Soul, Lovely Scream Queens and Ampersandist (to name but three recent examples of the hundreds issued each year) each attempt to keep the alphabet exciting and new. And it concludes with an alluring question: could Comic Sans now be the coolest typeface ever made?

One of the most beautiful handcrafted typefaces in the world, Albertus is also one of the most enduring. The face of thousands of book jackets, and the chosen look for David Bowie, Coldplay, Star Wars and London street signs, Albertus is as as warmly enticing on film posters as it is on memorial plaques. The story of the font is one displacement (its designer Berthold Wolpe was a German Jewish refugee who went on to design the masthead for The Times), but also one of permanence, for it has proved a fresh, vibrant and indestructible face for almost a century. In this unique celebration, the designer's children reveal the history of its creation and the erratic brilliance of their father, while the book grapples with one of the fundamental artistic questions: what makes great art not only survive but flourish in each new age and medium?

Designer, punk, rebel, dame... Vivienne Westwood was all this and more. One of the main architects of the 1970s punk era, the inimitable Westwood refused to take fashion too seriously, finding unique and arresting ways to subvert tradition and challenge the status quo. But her impact on the industry was more than ripped T-shirts. A master of tailoring and mistress of corsetry, she deconstructed street fashion and parodied English looks with tight waists, bustles and a zany take on tartan and Harris Tweed. Clients include Dita Von Teese, FKA Twigs and Doja Cat, her signature designs have featured in Japanese manga, Nana, and having captivated the TikTok generation, her vintage pieces still go viral today. Punk in both fashion and politics to the very end, Vivienne Westwood will remain an icon of fashion and feminism for generations to come.

The first and only comprehensive overview of Givenchy’s collections, presented through catwalk photography and published in collaboration with the celebrated fashion house. Founded by the dashing Hubert de Givenchy in 1952, the house would go on to symbolize the height of effortless elegance, as embodied by Givenchy’s muse (and close friend) Audrey Hepburn. After its founder’s retirement in 1995, John Galliano first took the reins of the house, before being succeeded by a young Alexander McQueen, who created his first (and only) haute couture collections for Givenchy. More recently, Italian designer Riccardo Tisci took the brand into a resolutely contemporary direction following his appointment in 2005 (dressing icons such as Beyoncé), followed by Clare Waight Keller and American designer Matthew M. Williams. This definitive publication – the only monograph in print on the house of Givenchy – opens with a concise history of the fashion house before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in Givenchy’s history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights, illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book. After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Versace and Chloé, Givenchy is the ninth in a series of high-end, clothbound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world’s top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.

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.
