Charlotte Cho: A koreai nők sosem ráncosak “AZ ÚJ BŐRÁPOLÁSI BIBLIA.” – írta róla a Marie Claire magazin, és olvasók tízezrei esküsznek a könyvre a világban. Mert ki ne szeretne hibátlan bőrt, semmi ráncot, soha egy pattanást? Az elmúlt években méltán arattak óriási sikert a dél-koreai kozmetikumok. Egyszerűen azért, mert beváltják, amit ígérnek. Szerencsére nálunk is kaphatóak, ráadásul megfizethető áron. A koreai nők régóta tudják, hogy nem csupán a géneken múlik, kinek lesz ragyogó, szép arcbőre. Helyesen megválasztott bőrápolási rutinnal bármilyen életkorban, bárki számára elérhető. Szokatlan, átfogó megközelítés az övék, amely elképesztő eredményekhez vezet. Íme, a világsikerű szépségkalauz végre magyarul. Bestseller lett az USA-tól Oroszországig, Vietnámtól Olaszországig. Mert praktikusan és okoskodó kamuzás nélkül mutatja be, hogy kinek, mikor és mit kell tennie, ha tökéletes arcbőrt szeretne. “Valamit nagyon tudnak a koreai nők, amit mi nem.” ELLE

Její účet @vysnivanecopiky na sociální síti Instagram sleduje dnes už více než 100 tisíc sledovatelů. Olga se ve vášni k braidingu doslova našla, začala hltat veškeré informace o technikách zaplétání a brzy otevřela vlastní salon, kde za jejími výtvory neváhají přijet i zákaznice ze zahraničí. Od té doby se tomuto řemeslu u ní přiučila přes stovka studentek z Čech a Slovenska, a další stovky online studentů z celého světa. No, a právě teď Olga vydala svou první knihu s jednoduchými návody na copánkové účesy Vysněné copánky s kanekalonem. Postupy jsou připraveny tak, aby je dokázal zvládnout každý. V knize je názorně vysvětlen rozdíl mezi pletením copánků dovnitř a ven, je zde postup pletení přibíraného copánku a další jednoduché návody k tvorbě nejoblíbenějších účesů jako jsou boxerské copánky, afrocopánky nebo barevné pramínky. Kniha je výjimečná tím, že ukazuje práci s kanekalonem (syntetické vlasy), který vám vplétají do vlasů pouze v salonech, ale nyní již zvládnete s návody sami.

Celebrating Dior's floral inspirations in fashion and perfume, this unique volume features a portfolio of rose portraits by acclaimed fashion photographer Nick Knight. For Christian Dior, perfume was "a door opening into a hidden world." His first, Miss Dior, inspired by the lush gardens of his childhood home in Normandy, forged an inextricable link between his fashion and fragrance creations. Other scents were inspired by evenings in southern France, lit with fireflies and scented with jasmine. The rose bowers of his family home in Granville; his old mill country house; and the Château de la Colle Noire near Grasse--where jasmine, tuberose, and May roses reign supreme and are still cultivated--inspired Dior's most memorable creations. Flowers were also at the heart of Dior's fashion, from the women-flowers that inspired the late 1940s New Look to the swishing, blossom-like ball gowns embroidered with lavish floral motifs. They have inspired all of the designers who followed him at the House of Dior, from Yves Saint Laurent to John Galliano, and Raf Simons to Maria Grazia Chiuri. This extraordinary volume blooms with color and inspiration, and includes rose portraits by Nick Knight, previously unpublished archival documents, exquisite details of embroidery and fabrics, perfumes, fashion sketches, and sublime fashion photographs.

[...] hugely engaging memoir.' - Emily Bearn, The Spectator'I really loved this book - it's warm, thought-provoking and honest. In the end, I had to ration myself because I didn't want to finish. In these frankly strange times it was wonderful and comforting.' - Victoria Hislop'I loved this book. It's great company and a Corona comfort. Alexandra Shulman's style is unaffected, immediate and hilariously dry. She's brilliant at observing everyday feelings in a joy-sparking turn of phrase - but better still she has made me feel so much better about owning too many clothes. Instead of doing a ruthless edit I find myself curating my own private exhibition - inside my wardrobe hang not just clothes, not just stories but my own autobiography.' - Helena Bonham Carter'From the hat that went to the a Royal wedding to a life-changing bathrobe, Alexandra Shulman tells her life story in clothes ... in her hotly anticipated memoir' -You magazine 'Such a great read - so open and honest and funny.

From the little black dress to the white shirt and the bikini, she takes pieces of clothes and examines their role in her own life and the lives of women in general, touching on issues including sexual identity, motherhood, ambition, power and body image. A must-read for anyone, like Miranda Priestly, who knows that clothes might not maketh the woman, but they certainly help.' 'Clothes... and other things that matter is a book not only about clothes but about the way we live our lives. From childhood onwards, the way we dress is a result of our personal history. In a mix of memoir, fashion history and social observation I am writing about the person our clothes allows us to be and sometimes the person they turn us into.' - Alexandra ShulmanIn Clothes... and other things that matter, Alexandra Shulman delves into her own life to look at the emotions, ambitions, expectations and meanings behind the way we dress. From the bra to the bikini, the trench coat to trainers, the slip dress to the suit, she explores their meaning in women's lives and how our wardrobes intersect with the larger world - the career ladder, motherhood, romance, sexual identity, ambition, failure, body image and celebrity. By turns funny, refreshingly self-deprecating and often very moving, this startlingly honest memoir from the ex-Editor of British Vogue will encourage women of all ages to consider what their own clothes mean to them, the life they live in them and the stories they tell.

YOU CAN MAKE A CHANGEIn this book, you'll find 101 simple tips and tricks you as an individual can do in your everyday life to shop better and help save the planet. Governments, retailers and organisations around the world are finally starting to take action, but while we wait, let's get started. In this proactive illustrated book, you'll find 101 simple ways to change your spending habits covering: - SHOPPING: e.g. unless you live within walking distance of the shop, buy online!

It causes your clothes to rub together so they fade faster. - REUSING e.g. upcycle old clothes with new buttons or even embroidery if you're crafty.
