Book Description
MASTER OF FASHION Vol 39 RENEGADESBy Charlie O'BrienFeaturing,-Alexander McQueen -Yohji Yamamoto-Rei Kawakubo-Issey Miyake, -Kenzo -Malcolm McClaren -Vivienne Westwood -Jeremy Scott -Rick Owens -Hedi Slimane -John Galliano Without the designers mentioned in this book, fashion would have ultimately stagnated decades ago. Renegades, no matter their talent, perspective, or unique way of life, are those who refuse to be content with the confines of the box society deems appropriate for all. They are the dreamers, the rebels, the auteurs, without which culture would have never flourished. They push the boundaries of the box - sometimes escaping it entirely - in order to push what human beings are capable of in unique and sometimes astounding directions. In the case of broader society, renegades are men and women who revolutionised politics, science, philosophy and social values by breaking free of the status quo and enlightening others to do the same. They have protested on behalf of millions of oppressed people; created the ideas that gave birth to democracy; and revolutionised the world by refusing to accept the established order of science in favour of bold - and ultimately correct - new leaps. There is danger in acting as a renegade, to refuse the accepted rhetoric of the larger rabble in pursuit of one's own ideals, but when renegades are capable of engaging with the wider public they can inspire society to new awakenings - and once their ideas take hold in society, there can be no going back. These fashion renegades helped shape the course of human history and popular culture.Fashion Industry Broadcast's "MASTERS OF FASHION" is a series:Masters of Fashion - Vol 31 AmericansMasters of Fashion - Vol 32 AmericansMasters of Fashion - Vol 33 ItaliansMasters of Fashion - Vol 34 ItaliansMasters of Fashion - Vol 35 Heels Part 1Masters of Fashion - Vol 35 Heels Part 2Masters of Fashion - Vol 36 BagsMasters of Fashion - Vol 37 Paris Part 1 Masters of Fashion - Vol 38 Paris Part 2 Masters of Fashion - Vol 39 Lingerie Masters of Fashion - Vol 40 RenegadesFashion Industry Broadcast is a leading global publisher of lifestyle titles, this multi edition set has been created as a hard cover colour coffee table books, e-books for $19 from Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, Apple iBook's, Google books, Stanza and Kobo, Apps for mobile devices and a TV documentary series is also in the works.

Book Description
Masters of Fashion Vol 33 Italians THE DYNASTIES OF ITALIAN FASHION. In the 1960's scores of international Jet set dress buyers and status seekers flocked to Rome, as much for the couture designs of Valentino and Roberto Carpucci as for the search of La Dolce Vita. The jeweled island of Capri was their playground. Florence was famous for leathergoods and gold, and it didn't hurt Florentine fortunes that Pucci and Ferragamo were Jet set must haves. In the 1970's fashion heralded the arrival of ready-to-wear and the demand for practical masculine styled clothing that women could wear to work and Milan rose to power as Italy's fashion epicenter. In the last century, Italian movies, which have had a great influence on Hollywood, showed what sensual style meant to Italians through famous images of Sophia Loren and later, Monica Belluci in movies like Malena. The look was well tailored, respectable, and sensual at the same time. To these iconic images have been added the style statements of the likes of Prada, Pucci, Gucci, Versace and Valentino, who have taken Italian style in an entirely different, over-the-top direction. -Armani -Prada -Missoni -Elsa Schiaparelli -Valentino -Versace Fashion Industry Broadcast's "MASTERS OF FASHION" is an 12 title series: Masters of Fashion - Vol 31 Americans Masters of Fashion - Vol 32 Americans Masters of Fashion - Vol 33 Italians Masters of Fashion - Vol 34 Italians Masters of Fashion - Vol 35 Heels Part 1 Masters of Fashion - Vol 35 Heels Part 2 Masters of Fashion - Vol 36 Bags Masters of Fashion - Vol 37 Paris Part 1 Masters of Fashion - Vol 38 Paris Part 2 Masters of Fashion - Vol 39 Renegades Masters of Fashion - Vol 40 Lingerie Masters of Fashion - Vol 41 Music in Fashion Fashion Industry Broadcast is the number one destination on the web for the latest in fashion, style, music, creative arts, creative media, models, celebrity biographies and much more.

Castellani and Italian Archaeological Jewelry
Author: Susan Weber Soros
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300104618
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
During the nineteenth century in Rome, three generations of the Castellani family created what they called “Italian archaeological jewelry,” which was inspired by the precious Etruscan, Roman, Greek, and Byzantine antiquities being excavated at the time. The Castellani jewelry consisted of finely wrought gold that was often combined with delicate and colorful mosaics, carved gemstones, or enamel. This magnificent book is the first to display and discuss the jewelry and the family behind it. International scholars discuss the life and work of the Castellani, revealing the wide-ranging aspects of the family’s artistic and cultural activities. They describe the making and marketing of the jewelry, the survey collection of all periods of Italian jewelry on display in the Castellani’s palatial store, and the Castellani’s activities in the trade of antiquities, as they sponsored excavations, and restored, dealt, and exhibited antiques. They also recount the family’s involvement in the cultural and political life of their city and country.

Book Description
FEATURING BRANDS - Agent Provocateur - Bordelle - Calvin Klein - Coco De Mer - La Fille d’O - La Perla - Mise En Cage - Nichole de Carle - Paul Seville - Dita Von Teese - Wonderbra - Zahia Dehar If you appreciate cinema classics one might be excused for thinking that our prehistoric ancestors rocked furry bikinis à lá Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C., but for the longest of times ladies have been looking for ways to support, suppress or accentuate the curves for a long time. From the origins of basic undergarments to the Victorian corset to the birth of the engineering feat of the underwire bra, that versatile undergarment that helps defy gravity. And it turns out we have ancient Egyptians to thank for it (no surprise there, Nefertiti). Egyptians wore a band of linen under their diaphanous robes to fl atten the bust line, while in China they were developing their own solutions — women wore single-pieced underpinnings that covered the breasts and belly but left the back, exposed. In fact, outerwear has always dictated the look and function of undergarments. Cretan women pretty much invented the corset to get a wasp-waisted look that predated Mae West’s hourglass fi gure by 3,000 years. But how did we get from there to La Perla and Agent Provocateur? CONTENTS INTRODUCTION A BRIEF HISTORY OF BRIEFS LINGERIE THROUGH THE DECADES THE STORY OF THE BIKINI THE MOST MEMORABLE SWIMSUIT IMAGES OF ALL TIME HISTORY OF MEN’S UNDERWEAR BRANDS OF NOTE The MASTERS OF FASHION series could well be the most extensive and complete publishing initiative ever released on this subject. This series has been created as hard cover and soft cover 280mm x 216mm colour books, ebooks and a ground breaking video rich App versions per edition coming soon for mobile devices, and a TV documentary series is also in development.
