"An Endless Thread serves as a long-overdue celebration of Grant, who has long advocated for the intersection of cultural pride, style, and a maintaining of tradition.”—VoguePart look-book, part memoir, and part history, this beautifully illustrated monument to a singular designer who helped inspire the growing Indigenous fashion movement is also a powerful demonstration of the enduring resonance and possibilities of Haida art.Inspired by a discussion with celebrated Haida artist Bill Reid, Haida designer Dorothy Grant made it her life’s mission to bring her culture’s traditional art into contemporary fashion while adhering to the principle of Yaguudang, or respect for oneself and others. The 1989 launch of her Feastwear collection, featuring modern silhouettes hand-appliquéd with Northwest Coast formline, immediately established her at the forefront of Indigenous fashion in North America, and she has since hosted runway shows and trunk sales from Paris to Vancouver to Tokyo. Her clients include Indigenous leaders, national politicians, and global celebrities, and her garments can be found in museums and galleries around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Dorothy Grant: An Endless Thread is the first monograph to celebrate her trailblazing career. It features new photography of dozens of garments spanning the past four decades, modeled in studio and natural settings in Vancouver and Haida Gwaii, alongside sketches, traditional button robes and spruce-root weaving, and personal stories and reflections from Grant. Essays by Haida repatriation specialist and museologist Sdahl Ḵ’awaas Lucy Bell and curator India Rael Young place Grant in the long continuum of Haida fashion and trace the many innovations and accomplishments of her journey, and Haida curator and artist Kwiaahwah Jones, a longtime assistant to Grant, shares behind-the-scenes insights and memories. An associated exhibition, Dorothy Grant: Raven Comes Full Circle, opens at Haida Gwaii Museum in July 2024.

"A sweeping biography of one of the most influential and successful business-women in American history, BECOMING ELIZABETH ARDEN opens the Red Door to a world of wealth, glamor, and the profitable business of beauty Elizabeth Arden was a household name on six continents and a millionaire several times over before her death in 1966. Arden counted British royalty and social elites from the overlapping worlds of New York, Hollywood, London, and Paris among her clients. She revolutionized skin care and cosmetics, making it acceptable for all women to embrace glamour and wear makeup-not just actresses and prostitutes. She created a successful international business empire before women gained the vote and at a time when virtually no woman owned or ran a national company. She developed the first luxury spa and insisted on a holistic understanding of health and beauty. Unconventional and driven, Arden fervently believed that every woman could be beautiful. Acclaimed biographer Stacy Cordery does full justice to one of America's greatest entrepreneurs. Canadian-born Florence Nightingale Graham turned herself into Elizabeth Arden, using her uncanny sense of the possible to take full advantage of everything New York City offered, building her company and becoming one with her brand. In an astounding rags-to-riches tale, Elizabeth Arden came to personify sophistication and refinement. Her hard work and innovation made makeup, fitness, and style not only acceptable but de rigueur. Arden prospered throughout the Depression, reimagined women's needs during two World Wars, and by pioneering new approaches to marketing and advertising, ushered beauty into the modern era. Cordery delivers a compelling picture of a modern CEO whose career provides a model for aspiring businesses to this day"--

This charming and modest autobiography gives a fascinating and detailed insight into the workings of a great fashion house, while revealing the private man behind the high-profile establishment. It is also a unique portrait of classic Paris haute couture of the 1950s and offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes.

A sequel to the author’s critically acclaimed Delphinium title, One of These Things First, The Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls is a poison-pen, love letter to the end of an era—Manhattan during the decadent, late 1970s. Picking up where he left off at the end of his widely praised debut memoir, One of These Things First, Gaines recounts his hilarious, sometimes poignant attempt to forge a writing career and a successful love life in the gay world of the 1970s. He has limited success until he falls in love with an older woman dying of cancer. Meanwhile, he serendipitously begins a career as a writer when he meets a former child evangelist, and with naïve chutzpah, manages to land a book deal that leads to a whirlwind career as a biographer, rock and roll columnist, and roman à clef novelist who writes a book with a Studio 54 bartender that brings the world down around them. From inside the entertainment business in New York and L.A. to inside the publishing world, Gaines narrates a life of escapades and adventures and searching for love in all the wrong places. After hitting rock bottom, he writes a book about the Beatles that ends up on the New York Times bestseller list, leading to popular esteem and a feeling of momentary redemption.

In Uncross Your Legs: A Life in Fashion, learn the story behind the man whose vision, over 60 years, has dramatically helped forge and transform American style.

Eigentlich suchte der Australier Simon "Woody" Wood 2002 nur eine Möglichkeit, kostenlos an Turnschuhe zu kommen. Zwei Wochen später war er der stolze Verleger von Sneaker Freaker - und musste nie mehr barfuß gehen. Von seinen frühesten Ursprüngen als Fanzine im Punkstil bis zur heutigen Hochglanzaufmachung mit Onlineausgabe hat diese entschlossen unabhängige Zeitschrift jeden Collab-, Quickstrike-, Hyperstrike- und Tier-Zero-Sneaker, jede limitierte Ausgabe, Neuauflage und hippe Innovation der letzten 20 Jahre dokumentiert, vom klassischen adidas-Treter bis zum ultraluxuriösen Edelsneaker . Magische Produktbeschreibungen wie "Das Suede an Zunge und Ferse ist so dunkel und geheimnisvoll wie der Blick in einen bodenlosen Abgrund. Das Mintnubuk ist reines Dynamit, das graue Leder der Funke und die robuste Mesh-Toebox das Ausrufezeichen. Peng!" lassen erahnen, wie die Synapsen im Sneakerversum so geschnürt sind. Woodys ursprüngliche Vorgabe, dass Sneaker Freaker "zugleich lustig und ernst, sinnvoll und zweckfrei" sein solle, erfüllt The Ultimate Sneaker Book auf vorbildliche Weise : Auf über 500 mit Insiderwissen gespickten Seiten , die keine wahnwitzigen historischen Details auslassen und zahllose Fandevotionalien schnittig ins Bild setzen, werden hier Geschichte, Gegenwart und Zukunft von Footwear aus aller Welt dokumentiert, in Sneaker-Lingo kommentiert und mitgestaltet . Neben einem souveränen Marsch durch die Turnschuhgeschichte werden der Nike Air Max und Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, und Michael Jordan - neben obskuren Schätzchen wie Troop, Airwalk und Vision Street Wear - ausführlich verhandelt. Dieser Band ist das definitive Nachschlagewerk für Sneakerheads, visuelles Manna und ein orgiastisch sprudelnder Quell des Treterwissens, kurz ... das Ultimate Sneaker Book !

The first monograph of a rising star in the world of fashion photography and film, this dazzling volume is filled with lusciously colored images that capture Moses' eye for beauty and talent for storytelling.

Gorgeous full page reproductions capture Moses' uniquely atmospheric vibe-marked by deep colors, rich textures-as well as his startling ease with his subject, be it music, fashion, or sports. A series of essays include a foreword by Moses, touching on his own ideology and practice; Federico Sargentone's insightful exploration of Moses' work; contributions and personal accounts by Matthew Williams, Ciesay, Clint, Samuel Ross and Slawn, among others; and a series of in-conversations, one with Skepta discussing the totality of life; and the second with Nick Knight exploring the depths of photography. Touching on every aspect of his work to date, including a number of previously unpublished images, this stunning and contemporary feeling monograph, designed by Hassan Rahim, dives deep into Moses' visual language and highlights his profound connection to family, community, and the culture around it.

WINNER 2024 NAACP IMAGE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK BIOGRAPHY/AUTOBIOGRAPHYAn engrossing social history of the unsinkable Mollie Moon, the stylish founder of the National Urban League Guild and fundraiser extraordinaire who reigned over the glittering "Beaux Arts Ball," the social event of New York and Harlem society for fifty years--a glamorous soiree rivaling today's Met Gala, drawing America's wealthy and cultured, both Black and white.Our Secret Society brilliantly illuminates a little known yet highly significant aspect of the civil rights movement that has been long overlooked--the powerhouse fundraising effort that supported the movement--the luncheons, galas, cabarets, and traveling exhibitions attended by middle-class and working-class Black families, the Negro press, and titans of industry, including Winthrop Rockefeller.No one knew this world better or ruled over it with more authority than Mollie Moon. With her husband Henry Lee Moon, the longtime publicist for the NAACP, Mollie became half of one of the most influential couples of the period.

Ford brings Mollie into focus as never before, charting her rise from Jim Crow Mississippi to doyenne of Manhattan and Harlem, where she became one of the most influential philanthropists of her time--a woman feared, resented, yet widely respected. She chronicles Mollie's larger-than-life antics through exhaustive research, never-before-revealed letters, and dozens of interviews.Our Secret Society ushers us into a world with its own rhythm and rules, led by its own Who's Who of African Americans in politics, sports, business, and entertainment. It is both a searing portrait of a remarkable period in America, spanning from the early 1930s through the late 1960s, and a strategic economic blueprint today's activists can emulate.Our Secret Society includes 16 pages of never-before-seen photographs.

Das Buch behandelt Fragen internationaler Währungs- und Finanzbeziehungen, wobei auch die Rolle der Entwicklungsländer im internationalen Kapitalverkehr in verschiedenen Kapiteln eingehend thematisiert wird. Es zeigt, dass sich internationale Kapital- und Finanzmärkte dynamisch entwickeln, auf weltpolitische Ereignisse reagieren und diese zugleich mitprägen. Auf modelltheoretische Erklärungen wird zugunsten einer eher exemplarischen Darstellungsweise verzichtet. Auf diese Weise ergänzt und erweitert das Buch den theoretischen Lehrstoff einschlägiger Standardlehrbücher zur Geld- und Währungstheorie durch praxisbezogene Überlegungen und Beispiele. Damit eignet es sich nicht nur als erste Orientierung und Einführung in das komplexe Themengebiet, sondern auch als Handbuch und Nachschlagewerk.
