Danger in the Path of Chic
Author: Lucy Moyse Ferreira
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350126292
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
During the interwar years, a proliferation of violence encroached upon the glossy, idealistic world of fashion: from the curiously common appearance of dismembered heads in fashion illustration, to seemingly torturous techniques and devices advertised by beauty imagery, even extending to garments designed to look assaulted and destroyed. Danger in the Path of Chic brings this disturbing imagery to light for the first time, proposing new directions for historians of fashion, violence and culture in the interwar years. Concentrating on London, Paris and New York as fashion centres and political allies, the volume explores why horror manifested itself in this way, at this time, and in a sphere that is usually perceived as being built on fantasy and escape. In doing so, Danger in the Path of Chic situates fashion within the very real social, psychological, economic and political traumas of the period.

The London Trilogy
Author: Edward St. Boniface
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1783061251
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 760
Book Description
This is a trilogy about three young men finding the fulfillment of their youthful ambitions, from the late 1980s onwards, in rock music and journalism, up to the present day and middle age. As middle age comes on, each must accept a wider responsibility for their past sins. Having either emigrated to or been born in London, all of them become caught up in tantalising opportunities in the capital to fulfill their ambitions of success and fame. Each of them also finds that success comes with an immense price for them personally, and private failures that unmercifully torment them. Their hopeful idealism and dreams become tainted by ruthlessness, opportunism and betrayal of their principles. As each character grows older, he realises he wants to redeem himself and somehow resolve the worst things he has perpetrated in his life – but true redemption requires genuine sacrifice; one even more intense and difficult than their hard-won successes of the past. It may be more than any of them can endure. All of this happens against the background of London’s fantastic, fabulous variety and wealth and exoticism, opportunity and glamour, corruption and poverty and loneliness and harshness. Its pitfalls, rewards and insatiable demands as a fast-moving cultural and media capital are a significant part of the novel’s tone, with an intensified sense of time and place. Edward St. Boniface takes inspiration from a wide range of authors, including Ray Bradbury, Mark Z. Danielewski and David Foster Wallace. The London Trilogy is a work of adult contemporary fiction that will appeal to fans of highbrow and literary novels, bildungsromans and satire.

Erotique Chic

ISBN: 9789401440561
Category : ARCHITECTURE
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Home is where the glam is. A sexy interior design book with glamorous, cinematic houses from the seventies, eighties, nineties and nillies. Houses with an erotic tension that make you fantasise. Houses that could just as well be a movie set. Houses that make you dream of a wild party rather than a cosy family breakfast. Houses where the shade of Hamilton still wanders around. All of them characteristic and iconic, and top of their architectural class, selected by Thijs Demeulemeester. AUTHOR: Thijs Demeulemeester is a Belgian lifestyle journalist, specialising in interiors, contemporary art and architecture. Athos Burez creates storytelling images with a mix of portraits, still lives and landscapes. He works with staged settings and suggests with huge imagination. Burez balances on the thin line between kitsch and classic. A combination of blurred photography and sharp images results in a perfect composition. Louise Mertens runs her own design studio in Antwerp. She focuses on visual concepts, creative & art direction, brand communication, artwork and design. Her attention to detail and the use of different materials and her interest in the mysterious are some of her trademarks. SELLING POINTS: * Delve into a sensual world of villainous style with these intriguing, sleek houses * This book, designed by Louise Mertens who is the sensation of the moment because of her work with theKardashians, offers a unique look inside glamorous and never before photographed houses. In cooperation with style photographer Athos Burez 260 colour illustrations
