In the world where brands take from the culture, through its four-decade existence Stone Island has been contributing to it. The long roster of its celebrity fans includes Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, rappers Drake and Travis Scott, and football guru Pep Guardiola. But it s not the celebrity nod that has made Stone Island a cultural cornerstone; it was the brand s ardent everyday fans who have always appreciated its mix of performance and toughness. At the center of Stone Island s success lies its relentless pursuit of excellence in design, and uncompromising spirit of experimentation with fabric treatment and dyeing techniques. This product-oriented stance has secured the brand s unique place outside of fashion s hierarchy. This definitive monograph captures the story of Stone Island, combining its history and ethos into one definitive source. With never-before-seen images and three major texts capturing the brand s story, it will surely delight the brand s diehard fans as well as those who are new to the world of Stone Island.

<b>The first and only comprehensive overview of Givenchy's collections, presented through catwalk photography and published in collaboration with the celebrated fashion house.</b><br/><br/>Founded by the dashing Hubert de Givenchy in 1952, the house would go on to symbolize the height of effortless elegance, as embodied by Givenchy's muse (and close friend) Audrey Hepburn. After its founder's retirement in 1995, John Galliano first took the reins of the house, before being succeeded by a young Alexander McQueen, who created his first (and only) haute couture collections for Givenchy. More recently, Italian designer Riccardo Tisci took the brand into a resolutely contemporary direction following his appointment in 2005 (dressing icons such as Beyonce), followed by Clare Waight Keller and American designer Matthew M. Williams.<br/><br/>This definitive publication - the only monograph in print on the house of Givenchy - opens with a concise history of the fashion house before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in Givenchy's history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights, illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.<br/><br/>After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Versace and Chloe, Givenchy is the ninth in a series of high-end, clothbound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.

Inside Bridgerton [Bok / Inbunden]

<p>Martin Jacobson (f. 1978, Sverige) har gjort sig känd för sin teatrala motivvärld där vitt skilda visuella referenser möts i ett sökande efter motiv som för honom tycks mer funna snarare än skapade av honom själv. I sitt personliga bildarkiv, som under åren växt till tusentals bilder, söker Jacobson efter bilder som tycks laddade med kollektiva minnen och associationer. Dessa bilder sammanställs i collage som senare blir förlagor till hans målningar i vilka det bekanta tar en ny form och det obekanta likväl kan ge en känsla av att ha hittat hem. </p><p>Jacobson har sedan han utexaminerades från Malmö Konsthögskola 2005 haft flertalet separat- och grupputställningar både i Skandinavien och internationellt. Hans senaste projekt inkluderar monumentala scenografier som visades på Wanås Konst (2021), samt en omfattande soloutställning på Vandalorum, Värnamo (2019). Hans verk har även visats i utställningen <i>Martin Jacobson: Exkursioner</i> på Nordiska Akvarellmuseet, <i>Martin Jacobson: The Traveller s Guide to the Other Side</i> på La Conservera i Murcia, Spanien, och i utställningen <i>The Collectors</i>, curerad av Elmgreen &amp; Dragset, i den danska paviljongen på Venedigbiennalen 2009. </p><p><i>Målningarna i den här boken är ett urval av de senaste tio årens arbeten. För mig är det en slags karta över tio års upptäcktsfärder, irrfärder, återvändsgränder och drömresor. Om jag inte visste bättre skulle jag kanske tänka att en sån här bok till och med skulle kunna ge mig en hint om vart jag är på väg. Men det gör den inte. </i> Martin Jacobson </p><p>----- </p><p>Martin Jacobson (b. 1978, Sweden) has become well-known for his theatrical motifs where diverse, visual references intermingle in his search for an image that feels as if it was discovered rather than made by him. He collects images for a personal archive that has expanded into thousands of analogue and digital files over the years, with the aim to gather images seemingly saturated with collective memories and references. These images are then composed into collages that serve as foundations for his paintings, where the familiar takes on a new shape and the unknown can still appear familiar, even giving the feeling of having returned home. </p><p>Jacobson has since his graduation from Malmö Art Academy (Malmö, Sweden) in 2005 exhibited at numerous solo and group exhibitions, both in Scandinavia and internationally. Recent projects include a set design with monumentally scaled paintings, originally made for a stage show and presented at Wanås Konst in Sweden, as well as an extensive solo exhibition at Vandalorum (Värnamo, Sweden). His works have also been shown in the exhibition <i>Martin Jacobson: Excursions</i> at the Nordic Watercolour Museum, (Skärhamn, Sweden), <i>Martin Jacobson: The Traveller s Guide to the Other Side</i> at La Conservera (Murcia, Spain), and in the exhibition <i>The Collectors</i>, curated by Elmgreen &amp; Dragset in the Danish Pavilion at the 2009 Venice Biennale. </p><p><i>The paintings in this book are a selection of the works of the past decade. To me, they represent some kind of map of the explorations, wanderings, dead ends and dream trips of the past ten years. If I did not know better, I would probably imagine that such a book would even be able to give me a hint as to where I am headed. But it does not. </i> Martin Jacobson</p>
