A wildly hilarious and irreverent memoir of a globe-trotting life lived meal-to-meal by one of our most influential and respected food criticsAs the son of a diplomat growing up in places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, Adam Platt didn't have the chance to become a picky eater. Living, traveling, and eating in some of the most far-flung locations around the world, he developed an eclectic palate and a nuanced understanding of cultures and cuisines that led to some revelations which would prove important in his future career as a food critic. In Tokyo, for instance??a kind of paradise for nose-to-tail cooking??he learned that ?if you're interested in telling a story, a hair-raisingly bad meal is much better than a good one."From dim sum in Hong Kong to giant platters of Peking duck in Beijing, fresh-baked croissants in Paris and pierogi on the snowy streets of Moscow, Platt takes us around the world, re-tracing the steps of a unique, and lifelong, culinary education. Providing a glimpse into a life that has intertwined food and travel in exciting and unexpected ways, The Book of Eating is a delightful and sumptuous trip that is also the culinary coming-of-age of a voracious eater and his eventual ascension to become, as he puts it, ?a professional glutton.?

"John Galliano's ascent in the world of fashion design was swift and filled with acclaim for his bold, quick-witted sensibility and his theatrical flair. He became head designer for Givenchy in 1995, and then for Christian Dior in 1996, and directed his own fashion label between 1996 and 2011.Currently creative director of the Paris-based fashion house Maison Margiela, Galliano has fascinated the fashion world with his often outrageous and whimsical creations, including some of the most memorable collections of the 20th century: from the iconic Suzie Sphinx collection to luxurious and edgy reinventions of Chinese, Peruvian, Yemeni, or Mongolian costumes. Unfolding chronologically with short texts by fashion expert Claire Wilcox introducing each collection, 'John Galliano: Unseen' captures the designer's mesmerizing creations for his eponymous label (including rich and idiosyncratic details) and the intense backstage work of Galliano's trusted collaborators"--Publisher's description.

What happened to the promise of Tahrir Square and the Arab Spring?On January 25, 2011, the world was watching Cairo. Egyptians of every stripe came together in Tahrir Square to protest Hosni Mubaraks three decades of brutal rule. After many hopeful, turbulent years, however, Egypt seems to be back where it began, with another strongman, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, in power. How did this happen?In Circling the Square, Wendell Steavenson uses literary reportage to describe the intimate ironies and ad hoc movements of the Egyptian revolutionfrom Mubaraks fall to Mohammed Morsis. Vignettes, incidents, anecdotes, conversations, musings, observations and character sketches cast a fresh light on this vital Middle Eastern story.Closely observing a wide range of people from a thug in a slum with a homemade gun to the democracy/documentary makers on Tahrir Square, to fundamentalist imams and military intelligence officers, Steavenson dares to ask: what am I looking at and how can I begin to understand it?With a novelists eye for character, Steavenson paints indelible, instantly recognizable portraits and dilemmas that illuminate universal questions. What does democracy mean? What happens when a revolution throws the ideas and values of a society into crisis? What is a revolution, and, finally, what can it accomplish?

Emerging from the not-so-mean streets of suburban New England at the tail end of the 1980s, The Unband embraced everything reckless, unhealthy, and downright harebrained about rock and roll. After a decade on the booze-and-gas-soaked road to success, with the help of their dominatrix manager, a willful record executive or two, and dumb luck in spades, the hard-rocking, gleefully out-of-control Unband arrived at the threshold of the new century and got their shot at the big time?in a chaotic music industry where boy-band pop ruled supreme and rock music had been declared dead. In this epic, intoxicated un-memoir, Unband bassist Michael Ruffino delves deeper into the story he originally told in 2004's Gentlemanly Repose, taking readers along on a raucous tear through the netherworld of heavy rock, populated with crack-smoking Girl Scouts, collegiate bedlamites, shotgun-toting barmaids, a rodent-chomping music CEO, a beer-drinking chimp, and headbangers by the horde, while on tour with giants of heavy metal including Dio, Motörhead, Anthrax, Def Leppard, and a Who Was Who of reunited '80s hair bands. Into that volatile mix, The Unband brought do-it-yourself pyrotechnics, a giant inflatable hand (for making giant inflatable gestures), a high tolerance for substance abuse of all kinds, and an infectious love of rock and roll and everything it stands for.Equal parts This Is Spinal Tap and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Adios, Motherfucker is a riotous and unbridled testament to rock and roll being at its best on the brink of disaster.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,5, International School of Management, Standort München, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Veränderungen in der Modebranche, die durch den Nachhaltigkeitstrend verursacht werden. Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit ist es, herauszufinden, inwiefern die Problematik um Nachhaltigkeit das Bewusstsein der Konsumenten verändert hat und ob sich diese Modifikation im Verhalten von Kunden widerspiegelt. Des Weiteren wird untersucht, ob ein möglicher Wandel im Konsumentenverhalten das Verhalten von Textilanbietern beeinflussen kann.Zu Beginn wird ein theoretisches Fundament über Nachhaltigkeit gelegt, wobei hier der Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit in der Modebranche gesetzt wird. Diese sorgt in den letzten Jahren für erhebliche Veränderungen in der Wertschöpfungskette vieler Unternehmen. Im Verlauf der Arbeit wird ersichtlich, wodurch die Veränderungen ausgelöst wurden und warum es ohne sie undenklich wäre in Zukunft zu wirtschaften. Nachdem die Einflüsse des Nachhaltigkeitstrends auf die Modebranche erläutert wurden, widmen sich weitere Ausarbeitungen dem Konsumentenverhalten. In diesem Zusammenhang wird das Bewusstsein der Kunden für die Problematik in der Modeindustrie betrachtet. Anhand von theoretischen Modellen soll das komplexe Modell vereinfacht werden. Neben dem theoretischen Fundament bedient sich diese Arbeit sechs Interviews mit Experten aus der Modebranche. Diese liefern weitreichende Erkenntnisse über die Wichtigkeit von Nachhaltigkeit.

A luxurious book that showcases the spirit and essence of Chanel's iconic style through the medium of fashion photography

Sonia Delaunay's work appears today as fresh and relevant as ever. The modernist pioneer's ingenious color patterns dissolved the boundaries between visual and applied art. She further developed her painterly experiments in fashion, fabric patterns, interior design, book and object art, merging geometric abstraction and the sculptural qualities of pure color.Maison Sonia Delaunay is dedicated to Sonia Delaunay as a mediator between artistic-philosophical design and the beauty of everyday life. It particularly focuses on new research into textiles, fashion, and interior design. Drawing on never-before-published sources, the publication examines her international collaborations with entrepreneurs and artists, and illuminates how she redefines the relationship between art and industry in the process to design for a visionary, modern life.SONIA DELAUNAY (1885, Odessa-1979, Paris) was trained in St. Petersburg, Karlsruhe, and Paris around 1900, and initially established herself as a portrait painter before dedicating her work to abstraction around 1913. With her husband Robert Delaunay, she experimented with the concept of "Simultané" based on the use of intense color contrasts. During a stay in Portugal and Spain in World War I, she expanded her art to the objects of life. Back in Paris in the 1920s, she combined her ambitions in painting and design with her fashion and furnishing house "Sonia Delaunay." Her influence continues to this day, her patterns being as modern as ever.

In hellenistischer und römischer Zeit waren Figuren mit entstelltem Aussehen außerordentlich beliebt. Archäologen/-innen haben ihnen eine breite Palette von Funktionen zugeschrieben. Zweck dieser Bilder sei es laut der bisherigen Forschung, Randgruppen der Gesellschaft und körperlich Deformierte zu verspotten und zu entwürdigen. Der vorliegende Band legt dar, dass diese Statuetten im Gegensatz dazu eine durchaus positive Bedeutung besaßen.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Mediengeschichte, Note: 2,3, Universität Paderborn (Kulturwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Modezeitschriften gibt es schon seit mehr als 200 Jahren. Nimmt man die höfischen Berichterstattungen über die Kleidung mit dazu, dann sind es sogar mehr als 400 Jahre. Mode war schon immer ein Thema in allen Gesellschaftsschichten und auch das Bedürfnis, immer auf dem aktuellen Stand zu sein. Der Philosoph Georg Simmel, der versucht hat die Mode auf eine ästhetische und soziologische Weise zu verstehen, schrieb: ¿Auf diesem Wege zu ihr [Die Mode-Anm.d.Verf.] begleiten Konsumenten geeignete Organe, die solche Öffentlichkeit herstellen. Diese publizistische Funktion erfüllen seit rund 250 Jahren Modejournale bzw. Modezeitschriften¿ (Simmel, Georg, 1919). Die Mode wird demnach bevor sie veröffentlicht wird, bekannt gemacht. Die große Modezeitschrift Vogue betitelt mit ihrem Slogan ¿Before it¿s in fashion, it¿s in vogue¿ (Zika, Anne, 2006) genau Simmels Aussage.Neben Wochenblättern, Modejournalen, Frauenzeitschriften und Magazinen aus Frankreich, England oder später auch aus Deutschland, gibt es auch Handarbeitszeitschriften, wie die Burda.Die Zeitschrift ¿Burda Moden¿ erschien erstmalig 1950 unter der Verlegerin Aenne Burda. Das Blatt zeichnete sich durch eine revolutionäre Idee aus: Kleidung zum Selbermachen. In den Heften befinden sich ausgewählte Kleider der damaligen Zeit und dazu Schnittmuster, damit die Frauen zuhause diese selber und kostengünstig nach nähen konnten. In den 50er Jahren fand die Art der Modezeitschrift großen Anklang und entwickelte sich in den Jahren zu einer Weltmarke in über 120 Ländern. Neben der Zeitschrift, gilt Aenne Burda als Frau in der Nachkriegszeit, als besonders ehrgeizig und stark. Der Kampf um die Gleichberechtigung im Bereich Politik, Ehe und Mode, war ein großes Thema in den 50er Jahren. Ihr Selbstbewusstsein gab sie mit ihrer Zeitschrift an die Frauenwelt weiter.

"A witty and charming account of the wildly entertaining Elsie de Wolfe in 1950s Hollywood, recounted by her dear friend, the beloved creator of Madeline. Ludwig Bemelmans' charming intergenerational friendship with the late-in-life "First Lady of Interior Decoration" provides an enormously enjoyable nostalgia trip to the sun-soaked glamour of Los Angeles, where de Wolfe surrounded herself with classic movie stars and a luminous parade of life's oddities. With hilarity and mischief that de Wolfe would no doubt approve, To the One I Love the Best lifts the curtain on 1950s Hollywood -- a bygone world of extravagance and eccentricity, where the parties are held in circus tents and populated by ravishing movie stars. Bemelmans, who was working at MGM, had originally come to the California home of de Wolfe just for cocktails but by the end of the night, he was firmly established as a member of the family: given a bedroom in their sumptuous house, invitations to the most outrageous parties in Hollywood, and the friendship of the larger-than-life woman known to her closest friends simply as 'Mother'. To the One I Love the Best (which refers to de Wolfe's dog) is a touching tribute to a fabulously funny woman and an American icon. "Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you." -- Elsie de Wolfe --

“Terrifically exciting and fun” (Publishers Weekly), Champagne Supernovas is “a lucid, smoothly executed look at a pivotal decade in the legacy of American fashion” (Kirkus Reviews) as told through the lives of Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander McQueen—the three iconic personalities who defined the time.Veteran pop culture journalist Maureen Callahan takes us back to the pivotal style moment of the early 1990s—when supermodel glamazons gave way to heroin chic, when the alternative became the mainstream, and when fashion suddenly became the cradle for the most exciting artistic and cultural innovations of the age. Champagne Supernovas gives you the inside scoop from a bevy of supermodels, stylists, editors, photographers, confidantes, club kids, and scenesters who were there. They’ll tell the unvarnished story of three of the most influential personalities to emerge in fashion in decades—Kate, Marc, and McQueen—and show why the conditions in the 1990s were perfect for their rise…but also helped contribute to their personal struggles. Steeped in the creative brew of art, decadence, and genius that defined the era, Champagne Supernovas is a “titillating ride through the fashion world” (Elle) that offers readers front-row tickets to a gloriously debauched soap opera about the losers and freaks who became the industry’s It Girls and Boys…and who changed the larger culture forever.
