Hollywood Fashion: 100 Years of Hollywood Icons
This engaging picture-and-text book explores the art and legacy of the cinematic costume designer, starting with the birth of the modern motion picture industry on a prime piece of California real estate known as Hollywood. Readers will discover how film clothing evolved from actors selecting items from their home wardrobes… to outfits customized for their roles: Everything from suits of armour to ball gowns to office attire to lingerie, created by a studio designer and a dedicated staff of costumers. They will also encounter the actress from each decade who displayed a distinct fashion sense, on and off the screen, women who made a costumer’s job less demanding by embodying the character and evoking the time, place and circumstances the designer wishes to portray.
“Feature spreads” throughout the chronological chapters include: Style makers, offering closeup biogs of the legendary designers and showcasing their most outstanding creations; Style trends, exploring the social movements and cultural phenomena that affected movie costumes and further influenced how the world — dressed; Album of trendsetters highlighting Oscar fashions and introducing the fans’ favourite Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads; Men of the Decade shows how male actors used fashion — contemporary, historical or futuristic — to create a character or enhance ambience. Ultimately, Hollywood Fashion will leave readers with a wider understanding of film costuming and an increased appreciation for the men and women who clothed the stars — and made the spellbinding world of the Hollywood cinema memorable.
Devadesátky ve filmu
Ucelený přehled filmů a tvůrců, kteří formovali ikonickou dekádu kinematografie
Jo tenkrát, to byly časy… jednodušší, roztančenější a hlavně kýčovitější. Komedie s Cameron Diaz a Jimem Carreym vládly kinům a Stiflerovy hlášky (a – ehm – taky jeho matka) z „Prciček“ rezonovaly na každém školním dvoře. Vraťte se do filmových devadesátek s nabušenou encyklopedií plnou fotek. Dozvíte se vše podstatné o hvězdách jako Brad Pitt, Sharon Stone, Bruce Willis a dalších osobnostech, které svými hereckými výkony definovaly tehdejší kinematografii. Nostalgická jízda začíná – kapesníčky připravit!
Petr Parléř
Jméno Petr Parléř je v obecném povědomí neodmyslitelně spojené s osobností Karla IV. a svatovítským chrámem. Méně se už ví, že tento stavitel, kameník, sochař a řezbář byl mezi architekty středoevropské gotiky výjimečnou osobností, geniálním a odvážným novátorem. Svým dílem otevřel cestu k další, vrcholné etapě středoevropské gotické architektury, nazývané někdy dokonce podle něj parléřovskou gotikou.
Narodil se roku 1332 nebo 1333 v Gmündu nebo v Kolíně nad Rýnem. Na těchto místech tehdy působil jeho otec, stavitel Heinrich Parler z rozvětvené a slavné německé stavitelské rodiny. Český král a římský císař Karel IV. jmenoval Petra Parléře do čela stavební huti již jako třiadvacetiletého mladíka. Huť pod jeho vedením stavěla Karlův most se Staroměstskou mosteckou věží, chór kostela svatého Bartoloměje v Kolíně, části staroměstského kostela Matky Boží před Týnem a další.
Pandora’s Box
AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR
From The Sopranos to streaming: the scandalous behind-the-screens story of the TV revolution by the author of the cult film classic Easy Riders, Raging Bulls.
The revolution has been televized. From The Sopranos to Stranger Things, the shows we watch - and the ways we watch them - have been transformed over the past fifty years. Out of the bland wasteland of 'play-it-safe' broadcasting came astonishing stories of sex, violence, and corruption shown first on cable, and then by way of streaming. Today, the power of viewers to select what they want and when they want it is greater than ever before. In short, we are living in a new golden age of television, but golden ages don't last forever. Revolutions have a habit of eating their own, and the era of 'peak TV' may have an unhappy ending.
Pandora's Box is a major new account of the small screen from cultural critic Peter Biskind. Through exclusive, candid and colourful interviews with writers, showrunners, directors and actors, Biskind brings us face to face with the people whose creations we encounter every day on our sofas, and reveals the dynamic interplay of art, commerce and technology. We follow executives down the corridors of power and see how their money and guile cultivate, then crush creativity; we witness the making - and unmaking - of TVs biggest hits. There has never been a more exciting time in entertainment history, and Peter Biskind, the ideal insider guide, captures it all.
Hokusai: A Life in Drawing (Deluxe Edition)
A deluxe large-format edition of this beautifully illustrated introduction to Katsushika Hokusai, the most prolific artist of Japan's Edo period, and master of ukiyo-e - 'images of the floating world'.
Hokusai: the blue, foam-crested wave rearing above Mount Fuji; the celebrated volcano idealized and reinvented by the artist in every nuance of view, season and painting; extraordinary bridges, the waterfalls of Japan, the contortions, costumes, gestures - the very breath of men, women, peasants, townsmen, warriors, artisans, leaping horses, birds, insects, fish, almost live on the ground on which they are painted - the countless imaginative drawings or the lively sketches done on the spot for the Manga, Hokusai's record of shapes and forms drawn from life or imagined over time. With a body of work comprising more than 30,000 drawings and paintings, Hokusai (1760-1849) was the most prolific, varied and indisputably the most creative artist of old Japan. A universal genius in everything that constituted drawing and painting in his time, he practised all genres of ukiyo-e, those 'images of the floating world', as his contemporaries liked to describe their pleasures and their daily life.
This book traces the career of this child from a working-class district of old Tokyo, then known as Edo, evoking the special atmosphere of this great city and of Japanese life, when Japan - closed to foreigners - developed in a vacuum a powerfully original culture. Hokusai became one of the great masters of the woodcut, this 'brush gone wild', as he called himself, being rediscovered by the Impressionists and aesthetes at the end of the 19th century. He remains one of the greatest and - thanks to his personality - one of the most attractive figures of world art.
Helmut Newton - Berlin, Berlin
Born in Berlin in 1920, Helmut Newton trained as a teenager with legendary photographer Yva, following her lead into the enticing pastures of fashion, portraiture and nudes. Forced to flee the Nazis aged only 18, Newton never left Berlin behind. After his career exploded in Paris in the 1960s, he returned regularly to shoot for magazines like Constanze, Adam, Vogue, Condé Nast's Traveler, ZEITmagazin, Männer Vogue, Max and the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin as well as his own magazine Helmut Newton's Illustrated.
In 1979, the newly relaunched German Vogue commissioned him to retrace the footsteps of his youth to capture the fashion moment. The resulting portfolio, Berlin, Berlin!, inspired the title of the exhibition which celebrates 20 years of the Helmut Newton Foundation.
This collection includes Newton's most iconic Berlin images, as well as many unknown shots from the 1930s to the 2000s: nightcrawlers in uber-cool clubs and restaurants, nude portraits in the boarding houses he knew from his youth, and the Berlin film scene, featuring Hanna Schygulla and Wim Wenders at the Berlin Wall, John Malkovich and David Bowie.
In October 2003, only months before his death, Newton moved large parts of his archive to his new foundation, housed in the Museum of Photography beside the Zoologischer Garten station-the very station from which he fled Berlin in the winter of 1938. This publication thus closes a circle in the story of his extraordinary life and work.

Story of the Century
A colourful and concise telling of the fascinating story behind Richard Wagner's extraordinary masterpiece, Ring of the Nibelung.
The Ring is one of the most epic and compelling stories of the nineteenth century, created by a composer who was, alongside Dickens, Tolstoy and Victor-Hugo, also one of the century's master storytellers. But the story of how Wagner created the work is one full of intrigue and triumphs against unlikely odds - as well as controversy, due to the composer's anti-semitic views and popularity with the Nazi party.
In Story of the Century, Michael Downes combines cultural history and biography to offer this accessible and insightful introduction to The Ring and its mythology. He tells the story of how and why this extraordinary masterpiece came into being, why it takes the form it does, why it fascinates and obsesses so many and horrifies others, and why it matters.

Picasso was one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print. This book charts his career as a printmaker, which was characterised by close collaboration with skilled printers, through which extraordinary artworks were produced.
Together with a stunning selection of works on paper by Picasso, it also includes sculptures, drawings and prints by other artists and cultures of the kind that inspired Picasso. His prints often demonstrate his keen sense of belonging to an artistic lineage stretching back to antiquity (stemming from his kinship with the Mediterranean world of his birthplace, Málaga), as well as great artists of the past such as Raphael, Rembrandt and Ingres. One section explores the contradictions and controversies relating to Picasso's relationships with his wives and lovers. The focus on Picasso as a printmaker will argue for the importance of this activity in his long artistic career, and his continued relevance as one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print.

Whilst Terry was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Paul has been the artistic force taking the people, places and piece of man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world.
This is a unique insight into one of the great literary partnerships, packed full of hitherto unseen art and the real stories behind it.

There are few countries with such an established design scene, distinctive aesthetic, and universal appeal as Italy.

Letizia Battaglia: Life, Love and Death in Sicily
Letizia Battaglia is the catalogue published on the occasion of the monographic exhibition open to the public from Oct. 8, 2024 to Feb. 23, 2025 at the Photographer's Gallery in London, curated by Paolo Falcone, in collaboration with the Letizia Battaglia Archive, Falcone Foundation for the Arts, and with the contribution of Candido Speroni and Carla Fendi Speroni Foundation and the Italian Cultural Institute of London.
The exhibition, like the catalog, testifies to Italian life and society with photographs from the great photographer's historical archive. For nearly fifty years Letizia Battaglia has photographed, observed and lived intensely her time and especially her city, Palermo. Letizia Battaglia is a tribute to her work, her intense and new gaze, her yearning for freedom and her always being a woman against the tide. It is an uninterrupted album that goes from Milan to the face of Pier Paolo Pasolini, from the many mafia deaths to the unconscious elegance of the little girls of the Cala district in Palermo; and then the religious processions, the faces of Piersanti Mattarella, Giovanni Falcone up to the ferocious boss Leoluca Bagarella. For almost fifty years, Letizia Battaglia has photographed, observed and experienced her time and above all her city, Palermo.
As Shoair Mavlian, director of the Photographers' Gallery in London, writes, Letizia Battaglia's images could be seen “through the lens of life; something chaotic, random, unpredictable, cruel and dangerous, but also full of love and empathy”. With a text by Paolo Falcone, the volume's editor, the photographs now chase each other in a unique and formidable sequence where ‘photography and everyday life converge in a single path that highlights the extraordinary visual sensitivity, the courage to be at the distance of a punch or a caress to conquer the image, often obtained in extreme contexts but always full of dignity’.
Breitling: 140 Years in 140 Stories
This is an unconventional telling of a brand history—but then Breitling has never been one to follow the rules.
In 1884, from a modest Swiss workshop, Leon Breitling began a legacy that would redefine the modern chronograph, champion the skies as the official timekeeper of civil aviation, launch a wristwatch into space, and put the first international emergency beacon in a timepiece.
Delve into a collection of 140 stories, packed with intimate photos, first-person accounts, and a visual feast of more than 100 vintage and modern watches. This is where you’ll meet the visionary leaders, captivating timepieces, and game-changing moves that etched Breitling’s name in history.
As intricate as the mechanisms of its timepieces, this book celebrates Breitling’s commitment to craft, culture, and innovation. An exploration of a legacy, designed not just for those who appreciate the mechanics of a luxury watch, but for anyone inspired by the progress of ingenuity.

Monica Bellucci and Dolce&Gabbana have an unbreakable bond. Their first meeting took place during a casting session for a fashion show, when it was love at first sight.

Babeth Djian, editor of the French magazine Numéro, has curated the art direction of the volume; Jean-Baptiste Mondino has created 12 wonderful portraits of Monica specifically for this project, which will be accompanied by the advertising campaigns, editorials, and most iconic shots in which she posed for the great masters of photography. Two previously unpublished interviews with Monica Bellucci and Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana seal this indissoluble connection forever.
