Download or read book Icons of Style written by Paul Martineau and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1911 the French publisher Lucien Vogel challenged Edward Steichen to create the first artistic, rather than merely documentary, fashion photographs, a moment that is now considered to be a turning point in the history of fashion photography. As fashion changed over the next century, so did the photography of fashion. Steichen’s modernist approach was forthright and visually arresting. In the 1930s the photographer Martin Munkácsi pioneered a gritty, photojournalistic style. In the 1960s Richard Avedon encouraged his models to express their personalities by smiling and laughing, which had often been discouraged previously. Helmut Newton brought an explosion of sexuality into fashion images and turned the tables on traditional gender stereotypes in the 1970s, and in the 1980s Bruce Weber and Herb Ritts made male sexuality an important part of fashion photography. Today, following the integration of digital technology, teams like Inez & Vinoodh and Mert & Marcus are reshaping our notion of what is acceptable—not just aesthetically but also technically and conceptually—in a fashion photograph. This lavishly illustrated survey of one hundred years of fashion photography updates and reevaluates this history in five chronological chapters by experts in photography and fashion history. It includes more than three hundred photographs by the genre’s most famous practitioners as well as important but lesser-known figures, alongside a selection of costumes, fashion illustrations, magazine covers, and advertisements.

Download or read book Iris Apfel written by Iris Apfel and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I have rarely met someone as vivid, as alive, as vital, vivacious, irreverent, joyous, relevant, and needed as Iris. She breathes young air, thinks young thoughts, and gathers no dust. I simply adore her."--Dries van Noten A unique and lavishly illustrated collection of musings, anecdotes, and observations on all matters of life and style, infused with the singular candor, wit, and exuberance of the globally revered ninety-six-year-old fashion icon whose work has been celebrated at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and by countless fans worldwide. A woman who transcends time and trends, Iris Apfel is a true original, one of the most dynamic personalities in the worlds of fashion, textiles, and interior design. As the cofounder with her husband, Carl Apfel, of Old World Weavers, an international textile manufacturing company that specialized in reproducing antique fabrics, her prestigious clientele has included Greta Garbo, Estee Lauder, Montgomery Clift, and Joan Rivers. She also acted as a restoration consultant and replicated fabric for the White House over nine presidential administrations. Iris’s travels worldwide and a passion for flea markets of all sorts inspired her work and fueled her passion for collecting fashion and accessories. In 2005, she was the first living person who was not a designer to have her clothing and accessories exhibited at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a blockbuster show that catapulted her to fame and a career as a supermodel, muse, and collaborator for renowned brands, from Citroen to Tag Heuer, and global gigs at Bon Marché in Paris and the Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong. In 2015, acclaimed director Albert Maysles released Iris, his last film—now an Emmy Award nominee—to a global audience. Now, this self-dubbed geriatric starlet, whose irrepressible authenticity, wit, candor, and infectious energy have earned her nearly a million followers on social media, has created an entertaining, thought-provoking, visually arresting, and inspiring volume—her first book—that captures her unique joie de vivre. Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon, contains an eclectic mix of musings and 180 full-color and black-and-white photos and illustrations—presented in the same improvisational, multifaceted style that have made Iris a contemporary fashion icon. Astute maxims, witty anecdotes from childhood to the present, essays on style and various subjects, from the decline of manners to the importance of taking risks, fill the book as do lists, both proclamatory, revelatory, and advisory. All are paired with a bold, color-filled, exciting design that varies from page to page. Here, too, is a treasure trove of never-before-published personal photographs and mementos, mixed with images from top international fashion photographers and illustrators with enchanting, surprising novelties such as Disney cartoons, vintage postcards, the Iris Apfel Halloween costume for children, and more.

Book excerpt: In short: A six-year-old girl named Lily lived in the busy town of Glamour Ville. She was crazy about fashion, which showed in her huge heart. Lily would run from school to her bedroom every day, where her most-loved things were kept: her Barbie toys. These weren't any dolls; they were Barbies, the fashion icons whose beautiful style and ease had inspired generations. For as long as Lily could remember, she had been collecting Barbies, each one had its own story and outfit. Lily's grandmother, Grandma Rose, walked into her room one fateful afternoon. In her own time, Grandma Rose was known for having great style. She had a special treat in store for Lily. She showed her that Barbie was more than just a toy; she was a style icon. Lily was interested and asked Grandma Rose to explain. Grandma Rose then told the story of Barbie's interesting life, including how Ruth Handler made her and how her goal is to encourage girls to dream big and believe in themselves. Lily was very open to new ideas, and Barbie's reputation as a leader who sparked new careers and fashions around the world had a big effect on her. It got Lily's attention, and she wanted to know more about what Barbie wore. Grandma Rose painted a lively picture of Barbie's wide range of clothes, which included everything from fancy ball gowns to useful business clothes. Barbie had turned into a pilot, a doctor, a scientist, and many other things, showing girls that they could do anything they set their minds to. Lily was very interested in the idea of becoming a fashion star like Barbie. Her grandmother praised her and told her that playing with Barbie dolls and putting on fashion shows in her bedroom were the start of her own fashion business. Lily set out to make her Barbie dolls into the most stylish and powerful fashion stars in Glamour Ville, driven by her newfound desire to succeed. She learned about great designers and fashion history, and then she started making tiny couture clothes for her toys. With a sewing machine, model, and sketches of her newest designs on the walls, her bedroom was turned into a busy fashion studio. People noticed Lily's drive and skill. She was asked to show off her designs for Barbie dolls at Glamourville's Annual Fashion Gala. This was a big deal for her folks. Lily's Barbie dolls walked the stage at the Fashion Gala, and the crowd was amazed by how creative and different they looked. Lily stood at her display and was moved to tears by the cheers and praise. Fashion designers, the media, and famous people praised her, amazed by her skills and determination. Lily's love of fashion grew over the years, and she finally went to design school and became a famous fashion designer in Glamour Ville. Her beloved Barbie dolls had always given her ideas, and she thought that her success was due to the lessons she had learned from Grandma Rose and her dolls. One day, Lily got a special letter inviting her to the Barbie Fashion Institute. There, she would work with the real Barbie on a fashion line. When Lily worked with Barbie to make a line that combined Barbie's classic style with Lily's modern designs, she reached her goal in full circle. The selection was a big deal all over the world, giving young girls and fashion fans ideas. Lily's experience made her want to help young designers-to-be. She does this by showing them how important it is to be inspired, believe in themselves, and remember that goals can come from strange places, like favorite childhood toys like Barbie. Lily carried on Barbie's tradition as a fashion icon. She is a symbol of how icons last, how powerful dreams can be, and how young girls can be anything they want to be. Story Starts Hear: A long time ago, there was a girl named Lily who lived in the busy town of Glamour Ville. She loved clothes so much that they were bigger than her heart. She rushed home from school every day, took off her shoes, and went straight to her room, where she kept her most valuable things: her Barbie toys. Lily's room was a beautiful place where she could be creative. When you walked in, there would be a crazy mix of colors, textures, and small mannequins. The number of Barbie dolls she had was truly amazing. They were carefully arranged on the shelves, and each one had its own clothes, decorations, and personality. These dolls were more than just toys; they were her friends, confidantes, and creative guides. Her grandma, Grandma Rose, who used to be very into fashion, sparked her interest in it. Lily thought Grandma Rose's stories about how beautiful she was as a child and how perfect her style was were like fairy tales. She would be amazed as her grandmother talked about her life in fashion, from going to galas with famous people to making her own clothes. Lily's soft heart was stirred by those events to want to do more. Once the sun went down, Lily's room turned into a busy fashion studio, and a warm glow spread through Glamour Ville. A small sewing machine was sitting on a table with bright thread spools all around it. The newest work in progress was proudly shown off on a small doll. Lily's design ideas were drawn on the walls, making her dreams come true. Lily first tried her hand at fashion by drawing on her Barbie dolls. She would spend hours carefully making them high-end clothes. Her skilled fingers sewed tiny seams and added tiny buttons and lace trim, making her dream come true. Every outfit she wore was a work of art that was based on different styles she saw in fashion magazines and books. But it wasn't just the clothes. Lily named each Barbie doll after a different person. Lily made a stylish spacesuit by hand for one of the dolls and turned it into a brave astronaut. Someone else wore a chef's hat and an apron and dressed up as a famous cook. Lily had a huge imagination, and her toys were her endless dreams come true. One day, Lily was finishing up a beautiful evening dress for her favorite Barbie when she got a letter she didn't expect. There was an offer to Glamour Ville's Annual Fashion Gala, a big event that the best people in fashion attend. Lily's heart beat fast as she read the invitation because she knew this was her chance to show everyone how good she was. Lily and her Barbie dolls got ready for the Fashion Gala with her parents' help and unwavering dedication. Each doll was dressed in a beautiful outfit that Lily had made, and they all stood in a line on the little runway in her bedroom. When the Gala night came around, the huge hall was filled with excitement. As the fashion show started, Lily's Barbie dolls sashayed down the runway, capturing the attention of the crowd with their beauty and grace. There was a lot of cheering and praise, and Lily felt like she'd accomplished something she'd never done before. She has taken the first step toward her goal of becoming a fashion star. After the presentation, fashion designers, reporters, and even famous people came up to Lily to tell her how much they admired her amazing ability. They were amazed at how creative she was and how she could turn a childhood hobby into art. Lily smiled happily because she knew she was about to start a journey that would change her life. Lily has kept up her interest in fashion over the years. After going to design school and getting better at what she did, she became famous as a fashion designer in Glamour Ville. She got ideas from her Barbie dolls, who taught her about style, imagination, and the strength of dreams. Lily got a letter one day that would change her life forever. She was shocked when she saw that it was an offer to the Barbie Fashion Institute. She would get to meet the real Barbie and work with her on a fashion line. Lily was excited as she set out on this journey. She met Barbie herself at the Barbie Fashion Institute. Barbie was a fashion icon who had inspired generations of girls. They worked together to make a line that combined Lily's modern designs with Barbie's classic style. Young girls all over the world were inspired to believe in themselves and their goals by the collection, which went on tour around the world. These were not any ordinary dolls, though. They were Barbies, fashion icons who had inspired generations with their amazing style and ease. For as long as Lily could remember, she had been collecting Barbies. Each one had its own story and outfit. Lily thought that Barbies were more than just plastic dolls. They were like doors that led to a world of endless creativity and potential. Her goals and dreams were reflected in each Barbie. She used them as blank canvases to write stories about fashion and adventure. These dolls were more than just things to her; they were her friends, her quiet confidantes, and the main characters in the exciting stories she made up in her head when she was young.

Book excerpt: From Louis XIV, a shoe aficionado of the Baroque Age, to the latest club-hopping progeny of the British royalty, this colourful survey of aristocratic fashion through the ages will delight royal watchers of every generation. The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton helped reclaim the fashion credibility of Britain's royal family, ushering in a generation of hip but genial personalities that appeal to every age and station. But royals have been setting fashion trends for centuries. This fascinating overview of aristocratic icons reaches back to the middle age, and from Europe to the Middle East, to profile the most renowned promoters of elegance and style ever to don their empires' crowns. Author and royals watcher Luise Wackerl juxtaposes the fifteenth century Duke of Burgundy' s penchant for black with Elizabeth I's taste for virginal white. She presents history's first "It Girls": Marie Antoinette, Louisa of Prussia, Empresses Sisi of Austria and Eugenie of France. She relates how Queen Victoria's sorrow and propriety transformed her country, and how an impeccably styled American's love for Edward VIII upended the British monarchy. From the irreproachably elegant styles of Grace Kelly to Lady Diana, Jordan's Queen Rania to Princess Letizia of Spain we move on to the newest icons, the Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York, whose faces and party antics grace the tabloids on a weekly basis. Hundreds of photos and a lively text make this irresistible reading for anyone interested in fashion, royalty, and the lively intersection of both worlds.
