Little Guides to Style: The Cult Collection


When a brand becomes a cult, its items are lusted after, hunted down, break the Internet, and change the fashion landscape. These four fashion houses have all become cult brands in their own right, and this is your ultimate guide to them. Known for the distinctive Intrecciato woven design and statement green, Bottega Veneta is renowned for beautifully-crafted leather goods, including the iconic clutch Knot bag, and increasingly famous footwear and jewellery collections. From his famous Pleats Please range to Steve Jobs's signature black turtleneck and Grace Jones's sculptural looks, Issey Miyake's designs are produced with technology and designed for everyone, and redefined the notions of clothing and beauty. Known for its deceptive simplicity and off-kilter femininity, Celine has thrived under the stewardship of both Phoebe Philo and Heidi Slimane, and is known as one of the most chic Parisian brands. The cult little sister brand of Prada, Miu Miu is designed with a rare female point of view for daring women. From recent viral micro-miniskirts and covetable ballet flats to archive whimsical prints, artist collaborations and off-kilter colours, it is the ultimate 'anti-fashion' brand. Four authoritatively written little books complete this collection of the most groundbreaking fashion houses of our times, illustrated with over 400 stunning images of runway presentations, street style, designs and behind the scenes shots.

The Modern Japanese Garden


The first ever survey of the evolution of the Japanese garden, dating from 1900 to the present day. A major survey and the first book of its kind, The Modern Japanese Garden is set to become the definitive book on the subject. Featuring gardens from Tokyo, Kyoto and Fujisawa to Osaka, Okayama, Fukuoka and beyond, this impressive overview includes major analysis of key works of interest through detailed garden profiles; insights into some of the most renowned Japanese garden designers across history; and a thoughtful exploration of the essential themes and developments in Japanese garden design. The Modern Japanese Garden investigates the relationship between nature and modernity. Roughly divided between pre- and post-1945 Japanese garden design, it examines post-war shifts in attitudes towards the contemporary garden as they move from status symbols and expressions of influence to spaces of healing and mediation. A short history of the Japanese garden, from pre-Shinto stone arrangements to the last years of the nineteenth century, sits alongside analysis of the contemporary gardens of Japan's corporate buildings, museums, hotels and public spaces. Garden profiles offer a comprehensive overview of the most iconic and influential gardens in Japan, and include a mix of landscape- and smaller-scale gardens, many just recently completed. Interspersed throughout are short interludes, covering everything from the ancient garden of Ryoan-ji in Kyoto to the aesthetic lexicon of Japanese garden design, while essays from a number of high-profile contributors meditate on particular themes. Intended for both professional and general readers with an interest in landscape design and Japan's contemporary lifestyle, this is the definitive sourcebook on the subject.

Dějiny českých dějin umění II. 1970–1990


Publikace je druhým dílem historického vylíčení proměn akademického oboru dějiny a teorie umění v dnešní České republice a zabývá se dvaceti lety tzv. normalizace. Navazuje na první díl Dějiny českých dějin umění 1945–1969 / Dějiny umění slouží vědě o člověku (UMPRUM 2020). Na základě rozsáhlého archivního studia, čtení dobových uměleckohistorických publikací, pamětnických rozhovorů a v neposlední řadě i svých vlastních vzpomínek a zkušeností vykresluje autorka období, kdy čeští historici a historičky umění dosáhli dlouho připravovaných cílů svého oboru, avšak museli se potýkat s omezováním svobody vědeckého bádání i vysokoškolského studia a s nemožností volného cestování. Kniha poprvé představuje blízký pohled na navigování jednotlivců i celé oborové komunity v situaci napětí mezi každodenností, podvolením a vzdorem v intelektuální společnosti 70.–80. let. Tuto dobu autorka chápe jako „naši domácí postmodernu“, jež vedla k rozštěpení reality, které však neprobíhá podle konvenčního rozlišení dobra a zla. V neposlední řadě představuje kniha teoreticky podložený pokus, jak včlenit badatelský subjekt do studia soudobých dějin. Systematický i chronologický výklad nabízejí vhled do fungování infrastruktur humanitního vědeckého oboru a odhalují strategie vyrovnávání s cenzurou i dalšími omezeními. Kniha předkládá dramatické lidské příběhy rámované konfrontací s tajnou politickou policií a požadavkem na politickou konformitu prostřednictvím členství v komunistické straně. Na druhé straně zkoumá také zkušenosti autonomie a svobody na okrajích povoleného, zejména v samizdatové produkci, přičemž klade větší důraz na vnitřně svobodné jednání než na status oběti. Práce ukazuje tři roky přestavby, zvrat listopadové revoluce a překvapení následujícího roku 1990, přičemž nabízí podněty k tomu, abychom jej přestali zjednodušeně považovat za „rok nula“. Grafika Jan Čumlivski. Vychází za finanční podpory Grantové agentury ČR. Vydání české.

Libero


František Štorm is a world-known type designer, but also a composer and a founding member of the band Master’s Hammer. In parallel with his long-term work in the fi eld of applied graphics and music, free work has always been created, especially linocuts and drawings, but in recent years also paintings of larger formats. The impetus for creating this book came from the success of exhibitions featuring paintings, graphics, and unique video projections. The book entitled Libero captures Štorm’s creative surge of recent years, in which typography, book illustrations, and graphic commissions naturally coexist with free work. Oil paintings inspired by, for example, South Bohemian ponds or travel experiences are increasingly gaining ground. Font shapes that we usually do not pay much attention to in books, together with painting, graphics and drawing, create a close connection in which both of Štorm’s lines of work illuminate each other in unexpected contexts. Libero also captures the breadth of his artistic scope in the visual processing of musical activities, thanks to which he appeals to a large circle of fans. The reader can enjoy wondrous, sometimes grotesquely psychedelic works in the neighbourhood of imaginative graphics and typography, the curves of which are the author’s defining gesture.

Modern Tree Houses


Above the forest floor, a world of wonder awaits. Tree houses have always captured our imaginations-symbols of escapism, endless youthful summers, and a deep-rooted connection to nature. But today, they've evolved beyond childhood hideaways into architectural marvels that blend sustainability and cutting-edge design. So, climb up and explore 62 elaborate tree houses from around the world, each with its own fascinating story.

But all have the same goal: to bring us closer to nature. This beautiful collection of self-built structures and masterpieces by world-renowned architects such as Sn?hetta and BIG is divided into five chapters. Discover Playful Tree Houses, where kids can push the boundaries of adventure; Hideaway Tree Houses that offer secluded retreats for writers, dreamers, and solitude-seekers; Observation Tree Houses, giving a front-row seat to the wonders of the wild; Vacation Tree Houses, where nest-level luxury makes for unforgettable escapes; and Residential Tree Houses that prove sustainable arboreal living isn't just for the birds. Whether they were designed for play, relaxation, or full-time habitation, these amazing houses fulfill a deep human longing for authenticity, tranquility, and a new perspective-challenging convention and fashioning a renewed relationship with the environment. They remind us that, while our roots must remain in the earth, our imaginations should always reach for the sky.
