Fashion - A History from the 18th to the 20th Century


Clothes define people. A person's attire, whether it's a sari, kimono, or business suit, is an essential code to his or her culture, class, personality, even their faith. Founded in 1978, the Kyoto Costume Institute recognizes the importance of understanding clothes from sociological, historical, and artistic perspectives. Now holder of one of the world's most extensive clothing collections, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day. Showcasing the Institute's vast collection, Fashion History is a fascinating excursion through the last three centuries of clothing trends. Featuring impeccable photography of clothing expertly displayed and arranged on custom-made mannequins, it is a testimony to clothing as "an essential manifestation of our very being" and to the Instiute's passion for fashion as a complex and intricate artform. The book's authors include some of the smartest minds and sharpest eyes in fashion studies: Akiko Fukai (Chief Curator of T he Kyoto Costume Institute), Tamami Suoh (Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute), Miki Iwagami (Lecturer of fashion history at Sugino Fashion College (Tokyo), Reiko Koga (Professor of fashion history at Bunka Women's University), and Rie Nii (Associate Curator of The Kyoto Costume Institute).

A magyar népművészet 1000 csodája


A könyvhöz az egész Kárpát-medencéből gyűjtöttük az anyagot, gyakran átlépve a jelenlegi országhatárainkat, hogy egy-egy néprajzi tájegységet a lehető legteljesebben mutassunk be. A sok évszázados gyökerű népművészet ugyanis nem volt tekintettel a kényszerű történelmi változásokra: nem követte a politikai-földrajzi határokat. Hat ország több száz településén jártunk. Évekig voltunk úton, bekopogtunk házakhoz, bejártuk a skanzeneket, bekéredzkedtünk udvarokba, megpihentünk csűrökben, önfeledten doboltuk a ritmust a táncházakban és szégyenlősen táncra perdültünk magunk is, ha éppen nem figyelt senki ránk egy-egy esti mulatságon. Nemcsak a tárgyi emlékek hihetetlenül gazdag világával ismerkedtünk: néztük az arcokat, a mozdulatokat, lejegyeztük a jellemző ételek receptjeit. Közben egyre telhetetlenebbek lettünk. Hiába hordtuk haza a képeket szőttesekről, faragásokról, kerámiákról, ahogy haladtunk előre az időben újra meg újra azt gondoltuk: nincs elég megörökített csipke, mézeskalács vagy kályhacsempe a birtokunkban. Így aztán mindegyik utolsó út után következett még egy utolsó utáni utolsó, mert népművészetünk felmérhetetlenül gazdag. Befejezni lehetetlen volt a gyűjtőmunkát, csak abbahagyni lehetett.

Champagne Supernovy


Na sklonku 90. rokov tri postavy navždy zmenili tvár módy a kultúry: Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen a Kate Mossová. Všetci traja mali úžasný talent a každý mal nejakú temnú stránku, ktorá ho takmer zničila. Spolu predstavovali zlomový moment v móde a pop kultúre, ktorý skoncoval so všetkým, čo bolo pred tým, a zmenil všetko, čo nasledovalo. Táto trojica sa objavila presne vo chvíli, keď dlhonohé supermodelky ustúpili heroínovej elegancii a keď grunge vystriedal hair metal. V deväťdesiatych rokoch sa stala hnacou silou kultúry móda a títo traja obrazoborci spolu s ďalšími, ktorí vstúpili do ich obežnej dráhy, vytvorili vizionársku kombináciu umenia, dekadencie a geniality, ktorá predstavuje nielen úplný obrat v móde, ale aj veľký posun v štýle, obchodovaní a kultúre. Bolo to desaťročie, keď sa alternatíva stala stredným prúdom - a hlavný prúd sa stal multimiliardovým biznisom. Vo viac ako stovke rozhovorov skúma Maureen Callahanová toto kľúčové obdobie prostredníctvom života troch ľudí, ktorí sa stali jednak ikonami, no zároveň varovnými príbehmi svojej éry

Blob - Round Shapes, Fluid Forms


The term "Blob Architecture" was first used in 1995 by Greg Lynn to describe biomorphic buildings, whose complex forms were created with the help of computers. Initially only used to describe organic, rounded objects "Blobitecture" today comprises and inspires many variations: from the classic, computer-generated blob to the experimenting with new, sprawling shapes, up to the combination with deconstructive elements or parametric architecture. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of blob architecture, this volume features the best contemporary projects and provides an extensive survey of current developments. Buildings from all around the world are presented, created by famous architects and promising newcomers and ranging from large-scale projects to temporary installations. They all have one thing in common even after twenty years blob architecture remains as freshly interesting and promising as ever."

Urbex.cz


Svědectví o kráse zániku, která se skrývá na dosah našich všedních kroků. K jejímu objevování je však třeba najít odvahu. Fotografická publikace mapuje jeden z nejprogresivnějších fenoménů dneška - urbex, tedy průzkum moderních ruin. Dosud nezveřejněné snímky, umocněné reportážními texty, přibližují místa nahánějící hrůzu i hypnotizující svou dekadentní estetikou. Strhující cesta napříč Českou republikou, okořeněná výletem do zahraničí. "To, co jsem spatřil, mě nadchlo - zašlé zkumavky, lahvičky s různobarevným obsahem, zaprášené přístroje na odstřeďování tekutin, pipety, skleněné misky a kahany. A to vše se nacházelo ukryté za zdí jen pár metrů od rušné ulice, po které dennodenně procházejí nic netušící chodci," říká autor fotografií s přezdívkou DiverZant.

Art and Religion in the 21st Century


Contrary to the expectations of 20th-century rationalists, religion has not faded away in the 21st century, but roared back onto the scene with renewed vitality. This survey shows how religious themes and images continue to permeate the work of contemporary artists from across the globe. Some exploit the shock potential of religious imagery, but many also reflect deeply on spiritual matters. The introduction outlines the debates and controversies that the art-religion connection has precipitated throughout history. Each of the ten chapters opens by introducing a theme, followed by a selection of works of art that develop that theme. The book encompasses a wide range of media and genres, from sculpture to street art, and considers faith in its broadest sense from Islam and Christianity to Aboriginal mythology and meditation.

Logo Modernism


Modernist aesthetics in architecture, art and product design are familiar to many of the creatively inclined. In soaring glass structures or minimalist canvases we recognize a time of vast technological advance which affirmed the power of human beings to reshape their environment and to break, radically, from the conventions or constraints of the past. Less well-known, but no less fascinating, is the distillation of Modernism in logo design. With the creation of clean visual concepts, graphic designers sought to move away from the mystique they identified with the commercial artist, and to counterbalance an increasingly complicated world with clarity. This unprecedented TASCHEN publication, authored by Jens Muller, brings together approximately 6,000 trademarks, focused on the period 1940-1980, to examine how Modernist attitudes and imperatives gave birth to corporate identity. Ranging from media outfits to retail giants, airlines to art galleries, this sweeping survey of the logo is organized into three design-orientated chapters: Geometric, Effect, and Typographic. Each chapter is then sub-divided into form and style led sections such as alphabet, overlay, dots and squares. Alongside this comprehensive catalog resource, the book features an introduction from Jens Muller on the history of logos, and an essay by R. Roger Remington on Modernism and Graphic Design. Eight designer profiles and eight instructive case studies are also included, with a detailed look at the life and work of such luminaries as Paul Rand, Yusaku Kamekura, and Anton Stankowski, and at such significant projects as Fiat, The Daiei, Inc., and the Mexico Olympic Games of 1968. An unrivalled, encylopedic resource for graphic designers, advertisers, and branding specialists, Logo Modernism is equally fascinating to anyone interested in social, cultural and corporate history, and in the sheer persuasive power of image and form.
