Join Cameron Silver, founder of LA's famous-and highly influential-vintage boutique Decades, leads a romp through the history and countless manifestations of the caftan, the world's most universal garment. Gloriously illustrated with photographs, drawings, and paintings, Caftans is alternately glamorous, campy, and comfy, just like the versatile garment it celebrates. Caftans are never out of style, and this gorgeous book by vintage guru Cameron Silver shows why: Arguably the world's oldest known garment, the caftan appears in every culture, from the chitons depicted on urns and murals in ancient Greece and Rome to diaphanous versions wafting down today's red carpets, from the flowing garb immortalized in pre-Raphaelite paintings to the striped stunner worn by Isaac Hayes on the cover of his Black Moses album. Caftans range from loungewear to haute couture, and Silver guides us expertly through all manifestations, from ancient times on: "Endless Summer" explores resort caftans; "Caftan Couture" displays haute couture caftans by the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Tory Burch; "On and Off the Silver Screen" addresses caftans worn in films and on the red carpet, as well as at home-think Elizabeth Taylor, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Cher, Angelina Jolie, and Rihanna; "Mantans" reveals men's growing penchant for wearing caftans; and "Caftan Capital" focuses on the iconic caftans of Morocco.

This book celebrates Juergen Teller's long-term collaboration with creative director Dennis Freedman for W magazine and later for luxury department store Barneys in New York. Between 1999 and 2016 the pair created a sweep of iconic series, all captured in Teller's trademark realistic style. In his photographs for W, Teller consistently went against the grain, resisting large-budget shoots and seeking out authentic, anti-commercial narratives and pared-down locations-as in his unforgettable first editorial in 1999 which features Stephanie Seymour, Shalom Harlow and Naomi Campbell (among other supermodels) as office workers at the magazine. Seen as a whole, Teller's W commissions reveal the evolution of his creative freedom, from shooting Haute Couture clients, Kate Moss at the Monaco Grand Prix and Tilda Swinton as a socialite collector, to portraits of William Eggleston and Roni Horn.Teller and Freedman's work for Barneys catalogues between 2011 and 2016 epitomizes their risk-taking approach in unusual fashion locations such as Belgrade, Panama City and Tirana. The resulting images show playful juxtapositions and unexpected scenarios, as models and actors explore their environments in comic poses, producing a kind of non-conformist advertising. Throughout Fashion Photography for America 1999-2016 Teller has photographed original W magazines and Barneys catalogues from his archives, a low-fi method that emphasizes the physical process of looking over his past work and allows us to share in the surprises of his retrospection.

This revised and expanded edition of Juergen Teller's bestselling Handbags features a careful selection of images from the original 2019 book, alongside his favorite photographs made since. As before, Teller's advertising campaigns for distinguished brands such as Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, Loewe, Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood are shown with images of handbags deftly styled for fashion editorials-all worn by celebrities and models or photographed as still-life objects. Teller acknowledges the visible shift towards celebrity endorsement in recent years, which has led to exciting new encounters with a multitude of actors, musicians, artists, writers and filmmakers.In his unmistakable subversive, raw style, Teller presents the ultimate fashion accessory as an everyday item rather than as a glamorized commodity, often in surprising contexts (a handbag perched atop supermarket vegetables) or with humorous intent (a bag sitting on a taxidermy crocodile). This time around, More Handbags has the compact size of a handbag itself, making it more accessible and tactile-and aptly more affordable for all of us who might not be able to buy the real thing.

En ordløs fortælling om et samfund, der har overgivet sig til livet bag skærmen. Hvad sker der, når vi glemmer vores nærmeste - når vi "uden at se det mister synet"? Idéen til bogen kom under pandemien, hvor store dele af vores liv pludselig blev online - også børnenes - og hvor vi måske mistede kontakten til det virkelige?I en flot, grafisk fortælling undersøger Thomas Knuth-Winterfeldt et muligt udfald og øjner samtidig et håb for noget andet - for noget virkeligt uden for skærmen.

”En smuk, omhyggeligt udarbejdet episk drøm. Vidunderligt mærkelig og mærkeligt vidunderlig”– Shaun TanEn papirbåd bliver søsat langt ude på et ocean, hvor den møder de mærkeligste væsener, navigerer igennem tårnhøje mangroveskove og trodser en frådende storm. Den passerer en enorm olieboreplatform, leger med sæler, reddes fra at synke af en ubåd og ender ved en by, hvor dens passager træder ud på molen …Undrestrøm er en spektakulær, ordløs fantasi over menneskelivet og samhørigheden med kloden. Bogen er flamske Peter Van den Endes debut; han arbejder som naturguide på Caymanøerne, hvor han har fundet inspiration til denne drøm af en bog, der emmer af betagelse over og kærlighed til havet og dets uendelige mangfoldighed – og hvor han har brugt år på at skabe det ekstremt detaljerede sort-hvide værk, der giver mindelser om fx kunstnere som M.C. Escher – men er helt sit eget.Vinder af priserne Zilveren Penseel; Premio Strega Ragazze e Ragazzi; Catalan Premis Junceda; American Dilys Evans Founder’s Award / shortlisted til The Yoto Kate Greenaway Medal / nomineret til Prix Sorcières; The American Golden Kite Award.

Following her success with Nora Murphy’s Country House Style, Murphy celebrates a selection of homes and their homeowners, each exemplifying a different style.For Nora Murphy, a country house isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. A country house is warm, welcoming—at once down to earth, yet elegant. A country house has genuine character, tells a story, and is truly, wonderfully lived in. Here Murphy explores the tenets of country house style, as illustrated by her own “new” country house, and the many other striking homes she has curated for the book. Each one of these homeowners has embraced country house style—but each implements it in their own unique way. There is a pastoral 1732 center-chimney colonial in Connecticut nestled in spectacular gardens, a cozy cottage on the coast of Maine rich with local details, and an 1840s Greek Revival in the Hudson Valley filled with romantic Victorian ephemera. Common threads weave through the stories: the thrill of the antiques hunt, the role of history, and the priority of comfort.Filled with practical ways to celebrate American country style, beautifully designed with a ribbon bookmark, and written in the author’s warm and effusive voice, this book will inspire readers to create a country house lifestyle wherever they live.
