Download or read book Bill Gibb written by Iain Webb and published by Victoria & Albert Museum. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Crowned Designer of the Year by British Vogue in 1970, Bill Gibb [1943-1988) was set to become a major name in fashion history. Famous for his love of romance, Gibb's flamboyant flights of fancy appeared revolutionary in the 1970s and still have a resonance today. But his career came to an abrupt end in 1988, when the fashion industry lost one of its most adventurous and exciting designers. It seems a fitting time to review Gibb's contribution to fashion." "This stunning book explores the work of a prolific and, at his best, truly visionary designer: his background and the enduring themes that inspired his designs. Gibb's fashion philosophy is revealed through the words of the designer, its effect on the fashion world seen through the eyes of those who knew him: industry professionals, family and friends. Gibb was a free spirit, an intuitive designer who broke the rules, not only in terms of design but also concepts and attitudes. Ahead of his time, he was aware of the value of celebrity endorsement and dressed rock stars, actresses and film stars from Rod Stewart to Bianca Jagger and Elizabeth Taylor." "It sets up a dialogue between the fashion industry of the 1970s and the fashion world of today. Much of Gibb's output verged on couture. 'I strove for the top and achieved it within ten years', he once said. Illustrated with his detailed drawings, intimate reportage-style snapshots, previously unseen catwalk images and fashion plates by leading photographers, this book is testimony to an individualist, faithful to his own design principles, who believed consummately in his 'rare gift ... to design beautiful clothes'."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Life After Debt written by Peter Phillips and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former director of Kroll Buchler Phillips Ltd, Peter has had plenty of financial experience. Now retired from his illustrious career he has written his memoirs, Life After Debt, a hilarious collection of career anecdotes, cartoons and one-liners to illustrate his highly successful role as an Insolvency Practitioner.Peter’s profile rose dramatically when he was appointed the receiver of the late Robert Maxwell’s estate – a case which has its own part in this book and caused a huge press scandal in the early 1990s – and during his career he took over 1,000 formal insolvency appointments in most trades as well as acting as Receiver on behalf of every major UK bank. Rather than providing a dry and factual account, Peter recounts his memories of his unusual career in the City with a wry sense of humour using some of the press cuttings and photos that accompanied his rise to financial success and notoriety. The book offers a ‘behind the scenes’ perspective of the collapse of many household names as well as conjuring up blasts from the past. Witty and personal pictures provide a light-hearted insight into the starker, more severe headlines they portray.A genuinely gripping account of some of the cases and celebrities Peter has had the fortune – or misfortune – to deal with, this book will be well-received by those in the financial industry, working in the City and those in the legal profession.

Book Synopsis Glam!: An Eyewitness Account by : Mick Rock
Download or read book Glam!: An Eyewitness Account written by Mick Rock and published by Omnibus Press. This book was released on 2005-11-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Glam was about make-up, mirrors and androgyny. It was narcissistic, obsessive, decadent and subversive. It was bohemian, but also strangely futuristic. It was Oscar Wilde meets A Clockwork Orange. It was a mutant bastard offspring of glitter. But while glitter was sparkling distraction, glam was anarchy in drag. It was sexy, glamorous, on the edge. It was the moment hippie finally died. It was absolutely rock’n’roll. But it was also fashion, art, theatre, lifestsyle. It was gay, straight, multisexual. It was totally titillating and absolutely naughty. Everybody held hands with everybody, kissed everybody, went home with everybody. It was an age of accelerated discovery, when all the kinks of sexual yearning were flushed out. It was absolutely self-indulgent and it was ridiculously camp. It was a time we thought would never end. A time so long ago now it seems like a dream. But it wasn’t and I have the pictures to prove it.” Mick Rock

Book Synopsis Fashion in the 1970s by : Daniel Milford-Cottam
Download or read book Fashion in the 1970s written by Daniel Milford-Cottam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1970s was a decade of style contrasts: every extreme of fashion was met by an equally trendy opposite reaction. Ankle-length maxi skirts vied for attention with super-short hot-pants. Outfits in vibrant prints and obviously man-made fabrics contrasted with subtly-coloured ensembles in wool jerseys and silky crepes. Delicate floral cottons, hand-knits and hand-tooled leather came up against boldly synthetic and plastic looks perched atop platform shoes – for men and women alike. More so than at any other time, fashion looked backwards in order to dress the future with quirkily ironic retro looks, while alternative street-style movements such as Punk used appearance to startle and challenge the establishment. In this book, Daniel Milford-Cottam uses colourful photographs to illustrate an eye-opening introduction to the bold fashions that still have such resonance today.

Book excerpt: David Bowie. Culture Club. Wham!. Soft Cell. Duran Duran. Sade. Adam Ant. Spandau Ballet. The Eurythmics. ' Excellent' Guardian ' Hugely enjoyable' Irish Times ' Dazzling' LRB 'Fascinating' New Statesman 'An absolute must-read' GQ One of the most creative entrepreneurial periods since the Sixties, the era of the New Romantics grew out of the remnants of post-punk and developed quickly alongside club culture, ska, electronica, and goth. The scene had a huge influence on the growth of print and broadcast media, and was arguably one of the most bohemian environments of the late twentieth century. Not only did it visually define the decade, it was the catalyst for the Second British Invasion, when the US charts would be colonised by British pop music - making it one of the most powerful cultural exports since the Beatles. In Sweet Dreams, Dylan Jones charts the rise of the New Romantics through testimony from the people who lived it. For a while, Sweet Dreams were made of this.
