In today's throwaway culture, there's a counter movement growing that urges us to 'make do and mend'.

Sonnaz first outlines all the basic techniques involved, from explaining the tools and materials required, to various fabrics and fixings and the difference between modern vs traditional. The c. 20 step-by-step projects are split into two halves: Furniture and Soft furnishings, with most projects including at least one other variation, so there are plenty of options to suit every taste. Projects include scatter cushions, bolster cushions, lampshades, various types of dining chairs, different shapes of headboard and a room divider.

Warning: this book may cause you to rethink your default typeface settings. Back to Font uncovers the secrets and lives behind 16 of the most famous typefaces. It answers all sorts of questions you might never have thought to ask before. Like: who were their 'parents' and where were they 'born'? What's pretty and interesting about them, and what isn't? How are the typefaces used (and abused), and where can you find them 'in the wild'? Most importantly, these chatty and opinionated insights will help you decide whether to kiss, marry or kill each typeface. Who knew type could provoke such controversy? (We did.) Featuring: Times New Roman / Gill Sans / Futura / Bodoni / Goudy / Baskerville / Akzidenz Grotesk / Mrs Eaves / Trajan / Novarese / Bell Centennial / Foundry Sterling / Transport / Zapf Dingbats / Univers / Papyrus

Rick Owens remains one of the most daring and influential fashion designers working today. Often described as a-grunge-meets-glamor aesthetic, Owens has cultivated a devoted international following. In his creations, grace and grit are paired with an obsession with structural transformation and movement, where diaphanous, flowing shapes contrast with opaque forms and sharp edges, an approach to formal invention that is complimented by a mania for new and often exotic materials. Timed to coincide with the first comprehensive show of the designer s work taking place at the Palais Galliera in Paris in summer 2025, the scope and breadth of this exhibition promises to be a treat to both longtime fans and the uninitiated. Owens will reimagine the grand 19th-century palace housing the museum, with temporary installations that will serve as vitrines to his many creations. In effect dividing the book between the conception of showcases, and the precious objects that they display within, the curatorial essays bookending this visual narrative will attempt to describe the multidisciplinary, even architectural approach Owens has to his creations.

Tracing the origins and influences of the iconic French fashion house in the 1920s, from the Riviera to Paris The beginnings of Chanel's fashion brand lie in the French seaside resorts. In 1913, Coco?then still Gabrielle?Chanel opened her first boutique in Deauville, an upscale seaside resort just a few hours west of Paris. Soon after, she opened shops in Biarritz, Monte Carlo and Cannes. It was in these ritzy beach destinations that her simple, sporty designs first flourished. Here they were met with a cosmopolitan clientele who carried her fashion back to the capital city of Paris. In the 1920s, the Chanel brand thus experienced its first heyday, driven by the artistic and social upheaval of those years, now known as the Roaring Twenties. This lavishly illustrated catalog chronicles this early era of the iconic French fashion house, documenting in drawings and photographs the extraordinary productivity of the designer herself, who maintained friendships with artists such as Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso and others. It also traces Chanel’s early influences such as Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, who were performing on the Riviera in the 1920s just as Chanel began to gain a foothold in the region. The book reveals the Slavic influence on Chanel's creations, highlighting a network of correspondences with female artists close to Diaghilev's?including a chapter on the chromatic textile collaborations between Chanel and Russia–born French artist Sonia Delaunay. Finally, it also features images of La Pausa, Gabrielle Chanel's dream villa built near Monaco in 1929.

Despite what society says, human beings were born to create and have been doing so since ancient times. Beginning with cave paintings, people have documented their culture and heritage regardless of geography, as seen in intricate Indian miniature paintings, awe-inspiring African mural masterpieces, delicate Nordic stone and wood carvings, and dreamy Chinese ink wash landscapes. Folkish collects a resurgence of old folk tales and traditions from across the globe through the contemporary brushstrokes of artists who seamlessly blend the old with the new, weaving a new visual tapestry that not only preserves our roots, but also reshapes the vibrant mosaic that is our collective artistic heritage for the future.

Genius, Glamour, And Magnificent Gowns Valentino Garavani: the greatest name in Italian couture For almost half a century Valentino dominated Italian haute couture, dressing the world’s wealthiest and most glamorous women.

Presented chronologically, the visual material is accompanied by a vast array of newspaper and magazine articles about Valentino throughout the years. Combined, they provide an in-depth look at the man, his lifestyle, and his genius.

A Ragyogj! Ékszerek ideje című időszaki kiállítás igazi kuriózum: látogatói az elmúlt 40 000 év leggyönyörűbb ékszereiben gyönyörködve ismerhetik meg viselőik történetét és fejthetik fel az ékszerekhez kapcsolódó jelentésrétegeket. Mindezeket pedig a kiállítás összekapcsolja a jelenkorral is, hiszen a bemutatott személyes tárgyak és történetek mozaikként alkotják történelmunket és identitásunkat. Az ékszereken keresztul megismerjuk a Kárpát-medence történelmét: az istállóskői barlangtól a hun, az avar és a középkori leleteken vagy III. Béla és Könyves Kálmán királyon át az 1848-49-es forradalom és szabadságharc után elterjedt gyászékszerekig. Végul a kortárs hazai ékszertervezés legfrissebb eredményeit felvonultatva eljutunk a fiatal magyar kreatíviparig. Célunk elsősorban az volt, hogy az ékszereket új dimenziókban mutassuk meg: ne pusztán alapanyaguk vagy a megmunkálásukhoz használt technikai megoldások, esetleg az általuk képviselt egyéni, netán a társadalom által elvárt stílusuk mellett láttassuk őket. A kurátorok által kialakított rendezőelv az ékszerek mögött rejlő komplex uzenetek mentén kínál kapcsolódási pontokat, így téve lehetővé a 21. század embere számára a szemet gyönyörködtető műtárgyakhoz és az egykori viselőikhez való kapcsolódást. Ezt segíti a kiállítás hat fő témája: a kincs, a rítus, a misztikum, a változás, a kapcsolat és az önkifejezés. A tárlat több ponton is kilép a kiállítótérből: számos fontos egyuttműködésnek köszönhetően a fiatal magyar kreatívipari ékszertervezés legfrissebb darabjai (a Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem hallgatóinak, illetve oktatóinak alkotásai) és Spengler Katalin nemzetközi hírű gyűjteményének legszebb tárgyai (így például Margit Jäschke, Fábián Veronika, Daniel Kruger, Georg Dobler, Lőrincz Réka, Melanie Bilenker vagy David Bielander kortárs alkotásai) is helyet kaptak a múzeum közösségi tereiben. A kiállítás címadó alkotása, Benczúr Emese munkája már a múzeum főbejáratánál fogadja a látogatókat. Az inspiráció egyik meghatározó forrása pedig a Veszprém vármegyei Somló-hegyen 2024 nyarán felbukkant mintegy háromezer éves nyakék volt, amelyet a közönség a Széchényi-teremben tekinthetett meg, és amely önmagában is nemzetközi szenzációnak számít. A Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum mindezeken túl is kínált további újdonságokat: a kiállítás alkotói közösségi gyűjtést szerveztek, amelynek köszönhetően a múzeum munkatársainak legkedvesebb ékszerei, majd a nagyközönség által a kiállításra felajánlott darabok és a hozzájuk kapcsolódó történetek is helyet kaptak a tárlaton. A Ragyogj! tehát nem csupán egy hagyományos kiállítás: a múltunk és a jelenunk egyszerre mutatkozik meg. A Kárpát-medence közel félszáz régészeti helyszínének és a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum gyűjteményeinek páratlan értékű tárgyaival a kortárs magyar tervezők, műgyűjtők és a látogatók egyaránt élő dialógusba lépnek. Hiszen a 21. századi múzeum az élő párbeszédek tere is. Dr. Zsigmond Gábor főigazgató

Lavishly illustrated, this catalogue explores the role of the automobile as both object and subject in interwar France, a period of exceptional creativity, innovation and turbulence. Expansive and interdisciplinary, Roaring illuminates the rich creative ecosystems that nourished this golden age of French automotive design. The publication explores the role of the automobile as both object and subject in France between the two world wars. It untangles the impact of fashion, interiors, architecture, aviation and the avant-garde on French automobile design and production. In turn, it highlights the bold, untethered visions of artists like Josephine Baker, Le Corbusier, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, and Jacques-Henri Lartigue, who embraced the automobile as a provocative expression of the modern age.

From Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic Robin Givhan comes a groundbreaking chronicle of the legacy of Virgil Abloh, whose iconic rise to the top of the fashion industry transformed our ideas about the connection between who we are and what we wear In 2018, shockwaves were sent around the fashion industry when Virgil Abloh was appointed the head of menswear for Louis Vuitton. Despite no formal training in pattern-making or tailoring, Abloh had become the first Black designer to serve as artistic director in the brand's 164-year history. Make It Ours tells the story of how that moment came to be and how Abloh came to symbolise and embody the industry's way forward. Using Abloh's surprising path to the top of the luxury establishment, Givhan unfolds the larger story of how the cloistered, exclusive fashion world faced a revolution from below in the form of streetwear and designers unafraid to storm the gate, and how a simple t-shirt came to hold as much cultural power as a haute couture gown. With unparalleled access to Abloh's family, friends, collaborators, and contemporaries, and featuring a cast of fascinating characters ranging from groundbreaking Black designers like Ozwald Boateng to Abloh's mercurial but critical employer and mentor Kanye West, Givhan weaves a spellbinding tale of a young man's rise amidst a cultural moment that would upend a century's worth of ideas about luxury and taste. This is at once a remarkable biography of a singular creative force and a powerful meditation on fashion and race, taste and exclusivity, genius and luxury.

A compelling presentation of outdoors magazines and catalogue covers taken from the archives and featuring seventy brands including Salomon and The North Face. For decades, outdoor brands have put daring and aspirational images on the covers of their magazines and catalogues, pushing the limits of photography and graphic design. This fascinating collection of outdoors covers, drawn from the Outdoor Recreation Archive at Utah State University and spanning one hundred years, features seventy iconic outfits including Columbia, The North Face and Snow Peak. Together, they make up a stunning visual sequence that traverses generations, sports, styles and continents, and holds something for creatives of all persuasions. The images, from grainy climbing photographs to homely illustrations of happy campers and cinematic landscapes, are organized artfully by medium - from nature (outdoors photography) to processed (treated photography), remixed (collage) to lines (illustration), object (product photography) to words (typography). Lead-in texts provide an overview of the scope and creative opportunities afforded by each medium, while interspersed throughout are a series of pieces written by guest contributors. Specially commissioned, these personal reflections - by more than twenty industry leaders, designers, creatives and sportspeople, including photographer Chris Burkard, designer Jeff Staple and climber Conrad Anker - home in on a particular image and explore what it means to them. Four 8-page inserts, meanwhile, printed on a different paper stock, reveal a selection of fascinating pages from inside the catalogues. A concluding 'Making Of' section gives a behind-the-scenes look inside the archive, while a visual index provides a fresh way of viewing the images and further inspiration for designers and other creatives. Carefully crafted, with an unfurling sequence of varied and impactful covers from across several decades, The Outdoor Archive is an enviable resource for graphic designers and creative studios, and a covetable item in its own right.

The New Design Museum maps a new landscape of institutional practices across different geographical locations. It reveals how spaces of culture dedicated to design have been transforming-their missions, programs and outreach platforms-to respond to an ever-expanding outlook on design as a field that is moving beyond its traditional presentation as an object-based practice. The case studies encompass visions and practical examples from leading international institutions as well as independent initiatives and platforms, such as The World Around (Brooklyn, NY), Serpentine Gallery (London), Future Observatory at the Design Museum (London), Cultures of Assembly (Luxembourg), Loudreaders, and Non-Extractive Architecture. They are united in their search to revisit methods and canons of conventional museological traditions. They explore a composite thematic spectrum covering from global design practices invested in decolonising and queering agency, computational, ecological and indigenous knowledge, and present alternative educational and collaborative frameworks of institutional development. The book integrates 15 interviews with directors and programmers, such as Carson Chan (MoMA, New York), Ikko Yokoyama (M+ Museum, Hong Kong), Aric Chen (Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam), Giovanna Borasi (Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal), and Lucia Pietroiusti (Serpentine Gallery, London), with a selection of 31 projects and initiatives by independent practitioners and entities beyond the traditional museum, including festivals, websites, podcasts, public programs, and off-spaces. Many of them emerged over the past decade and more intently since the outbreak of the COVID pandemic in 2020. They are evidence of the changing paradigms of public and professional engagement with the discipline of design.

Mi a közös Marie Antoinette-ben és Lady Dianában? Legyen országát egyedül irányító uralkodónő, 19. századi textilgyárban robotoló "mill girl" vagy szüfrazsett, a divat a történelem során szinte valamennyi nő életében jelentőséghez jutott. Lehetett eszköz a kezében, de lehetett fegyver is, amit ellene vetettek be. Jelenthette számára a megélhetést, anyagi függetlenséget, vagy ellenkezőleg, lehetett teher, korlát, amelyet le kellett "vetkőznie". Ebben a könyvben olyan nők kerülnek bemutatásra, akiknek életében fontos szerepet játszott a divat. Vagy azért, mert hatalmuknak, helyzetüknek megszilárdítására, politikai nézeteiknek kifejezésére használták, vagy mert épp a nők javára megreformálni kívánták azt. Ám e könyv lapjait nem csak híres nők és asszonyok foglalják el. Közelebbi ismeretségbe kerülhetünk a francia rokokó nagyhatalmú női "mantua" készítőivel és masamódjaival, a viktoriánus kor vagány női biciklistáival, vagy épp a főiskolás Gibson girlökkel. De a 16. század névtelen fonónőinek sorsa, a látványos viktoriánus viseletek mögött meghúzódó arctalan gyári munkásnők és divatműhelyekben (sweatshopokban) dolgoztatott nők millióinak körülményei is bemutatásra kerülnek. Budai Lotti az elmúlt években divattörténeti, nőtörténeti kutatómunkáját a Zubor Rozival közös Micsoda nagymeNŐK voltak! podcast és Micsoda történetek! könyvsorozat készítése/írása során történelmi nőalakok életének tanulmányozásával is kiegészítette. A kötet, amit az olvasó a kezében tart, az írónő e két érdeklődési területének ötvözete, hisz a híres nőalakokon túl, a divattörténet szerelmeseinek is izgalmakat kínál: az olvasó a Rizsporos hétköznapok első kötetében bemutatott divattörténeti korszakok jellemzőiről és azok tipikus viseleteiről is felfrissítheti ismereteit, mindezt olyan kontextusban, mely alaposabb rálátást kínál a nőtörténet, a feminizmus, az egyenjogúsági mozgalmak és a nők általános helyzetének, illetve a divatnak a kapcsolatára.
