NIGO: From Japan with Love
Charting the career of NIGO, the mind behind some of the most influential designs, ideas and trends in streetwear; from the 990's in Harajuku, the founding of A Bathing Ape, to his current role as Artistic Director at KENZO
Working across street style, fashion, music, and beyond, NIGO is a multifaceted creative director who has been shaping contemporary culture for over three decades. His ability to draw from wide-ranging disciplines and cultural references has produced some of the most influential designs and ideas in recent fashion history. With a close network of collaborators, he remains a central figure within a global constellation of tastemakers. His design language continues to evolve: while greatly inspired by vintage Americana, it remains deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
Charting NIGO’s inspirations, output, and legacy from the 1980s to the present day, the book will take a chrono-thematic approach. The story will be told primarily through objects from his personal archive and collections – many of which will be published here for the first time. These include collectible merchandise, garments, music and film ephemera, and printed matter, complemented by his own voice and those of his peers. Together, the material will immerse the reader in NIGO’s world, conveying the lasting cultural impact of this multifaceted creative director who has been shaping contemporary culture for over three decades.

Q is out of MI6 . . .
. . . and in over his head
After Major Boothroyd (aka Q) is unexpectedly ousted from his role with British Intelligence developing technologies for MI6's Double O agents, he is adrift, unsure of his place in a world where the stakes aren't always life or death. But when he learns that his childhood friend, renowned quantum computer scientist Peter Napier, has died in mysterious circumstances, Q is drawn back to his sleepy hometown of Wickstone-on-Water.
Frustrated by the police, who consider the case closed, Q is compelled to investigate, starting with a cryptic note Napier sent him on the day of his death. Q soon discovers that Napier's ground-breaking work may have attracted sinister forces . . . but can he decode the truth before danger closes in?
The Logic of Fantasy:
'Logic of the fantasy': the expression recurs throughout the Seminar as a leitmotif, yet not a single lesson is devoted to it; not even a briefly sustained development. Does this mean that the logic of the fantasy is here playing the role of some new-fangled mirage? No it doesn't, not if we can take on board how this logic is the very site at which Lacan's comments converge, which is what I have sought to indicate by entitling the final chapter 'The axiom of the fantasy'. It begins with him audaciously blending the mathematical Klein group and the Cartesian cogito, modified in such a way as to offer up the alternative, 'Either I am not, or I am not thinking'. On this basis, Lacan summarises the course of an analysis in four phases. A further mathematico-psychoanalytic blend: the sexual act is illuminated by the light of the Golden number. What ensues is that 'there is no sexual act', this being the first trace of what was to become a pons asinorum: 'there is no sexual relating'. The reader will also come across the invention of a 'value of jouissance', inspired by Marx, and will be surprised to see the big Other, the 'locus of speech', being newly defined as 'the body', the primordial locus of writing. A good many other gripping insights and constructions await this reader, if he is minded to follow the meandering, the stalling and the about-turns, along with advances and flashes of brilliance, an obstinate and profoundly honest thinking that, whenever it comes up against a stumbling block, never skirts around it but endeavours to turn it into a cornerstone.

Women's Liberation
As the populist right gains political legitimacy and the backlash against feminist movements grows, pay and health inequalities are worsening, and misogyny has taken on new insidious digital forms, gender equality is as contested and uncertain as it has ever been. How did we get here? And why, despite over a century of protest, has more progress not been mad? n this book, acclaimed historian Pat Thane offers a clear-eyed introduction to the key forces that have driven as well as limited the pursuit of gender equality in Britain over the last century. From the fight for enfranchisement to the election of Margaret Thatcher, the rise of New Labour and the impact of austerity, she reveals that gender inequalities have always intersected with inequalities of class, income, disability and ethnicity. With examples spanning education, employment, political representation, health and sexual violence, she explores how and why such profound inequalities have survived and pervaded every area of our lives. Women's Liberation addresses the fundamental question at the heart of this long fight for change: is gender inequality a mainstay of our social, economic and political fabric or is a more hopeful future possible? This lucid and accessible book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding contemporary debates about gender in Britain, as well as twentieth-century social and political history.
Deepfake
Wanderer, washed-up writer and part-time philosopher of Athens’ nightlife, Michalis Krokos is more comfortable watching the Johnny Depp trial on livestream than getting down to his next book. But his apathetic state is shattered when prosecutor Sofia Charitsi shows up with some startling news. His long-lost friend Rebecca, a sharp-tongued trans sex worker, is in serious trouble. For some reason, a violent far-right group, ONET wants her silenced, and fast. To rescue her, Krokos agrees to go undercover as a fake news copywriter inside ONET’s inner circle. Write a few lies, steal a few secrets, take down a fascist or two. All in a day’s work, right? But what begins as a rescue mission spirals into a wild dive through backroom deals, blackmail, and political paranoia. Sofia is hiding her own complicated past with ONET’s megalomaniac leader, and Krokos ends up just trying to stay alive long enough to write something that might be worth publishing. Part literary noir, part darkly comic political thriller Deepfake explores truth, loyalty, and the absurd theatre of modern politics— set in the heart of a sweltering, sleepless Athens.

Útulná pekáreň na pobreží
Polly si so zraneným srdcom balí posledné spomienky na lásku, ktorá ju viac pálila, než hriala. Keď jej starý byt prestane byť domovom, osud ju zaveje ďaleko od známych ulíc – až do tichého prímorského mestečka v Cornwalle, kde nad opusteným obchodíkom začína nový život. Sama. Len s vôňou mora a vetrom, ktorý jej prečesáva myšlienky. A tak sa Polly utieka k tomu, čo jej vždy prinášalo pokoj. Pečeniu chleba. Z múky, vody a zo štipky soli sa pod jej rukami rodí niečo viac než len jedlo. Do každého cesta vtlačí smútok aj nádej, do každého bochníka kúsok svojej duše.
S každým ďalším bochníkom rastie nielen jej umenie, ale aj odvaha. Vôňa čerstvého chleba sa šíri uličkami mestečka, priťahuje ľudí a spolu s nimi nečakané priateľstvá, úsmevy a možno aj lásku.
Pretože niekedy je chlieb viac než jedlo. Niekedy je to nový začiatok.
