Ikony męskiego stylu to książka dla każdego, kto interesuje się męską modą.
Przypomina też ikony popkultury, które wyznaczały jej nowe trendy. Niemal
każdy element współczesnej męskiej garderoby miał swojego protoplastę jakiś
konkretny egzemplarz zaprojektowany przez jedną firmę czy markę, na podstawie
którego powstawały kolejne wersje (a oryginały można spotkać na dobrze
prosperującym rynku staroci). Na przykład, T-shirt dzisiaj jest wszechobecny,
ale powstał w amerykańskiej firmie Hanes specjalnie dla personelu US Navy na
początku XX wieku, a potem zaczęli go nosić sportowcy i motocykliści. Inne
ikony stylu powstały jako stroje sportowe, robocze czy ochronne, a dopiero po
pewnym czasie zaczęły być noszone na co dzień. Książka Ikony męskiego stylu
zajmuje się najważniejszymi i najbardziej znanymi z tych produktów ich
pochodzeniem i historią, historią ich projektowania i powstawania, markami i
firmami, które wprowadziły je na rynek.
A popular collector’s guide to discovering the world of unusual, rare, and dazzlingly retro watches. What you wear on your wrist can be more than merely functional. Eschewing the common categories of the “classics,” the ostentatiously high-priced, and the “blingy,” this book brings together individualist pieces that few have seen and even fewer own. Retro Watches is a collector’s guide for those who want to make a statement with the watch they wear, but who are looking for something a little different. It collects the most intriguing, visually striking, and out-there watch designs from little-known but influential watch brands, along with overlooked but brilliant pieces from the major players. Over one hundred watch models are featured, specially photographed for the book and accompanied by accessible, informative texts discussing the watch’s design, history, and intriguing features, as well as info panels detailing rarity, value, and other key attributes. Additional breakout spreads dive into the cultural and fashion history of watch design and the many innovations of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. Beautifully presented, Retro Watches is the volume for the watch wearer who wants to stand out from the crowd.
Behind nearly every item in the feminine wardrobe there is a first of its kind that has spawned countless others. While the definitive example—often created by a single—has achieved icon status, its various reinterpretations, season after season, have become fashion staples. Take Coco Chanel's short, simple black dress first published in American Vogue in 1926, for instance. Vogue predicted that the LBD would become 'a sort of uniform for all women of taste' and, indeed, it proved to be one of Chanel's greatest contributions to fashion. Icons of Women's Fashion examines, item by item, the most influential and legendary garments and accessories – their provenance and history, the stories of their design, the celebrities who made them famous, and the various ways they have shaped how women dress today.
100 Ideas that Changed Street Style is a look-by-look dissection of the key ideas that changed the way we dress – from the middle of the 20th century to the present day – explaining the most iconic items of clothing and how they were worn, what the look was born of, its cultural background, how it was received, and how it still resonates in fashion today. The modern wardrobe owes its development not just to fashion designers in Paris or Milan but also to gangs and movements brought together by a shared appreciation of music, sport or a particular underground culture, and a certain style that defines membership. These styles have rocked establishments, created stereotypes, expressed social division as much as they have united people, entered the language, spread around the world, and, above all, transformed dress for a wider public.
