As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing but, seduced by the miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, the influential editor of the Evening Standard, loomed large in her life, and once he decided she should become editor in chief of Vogue, she never looked back.Impatient to start her career, she left high school and got a job at a fashionable boutique in London - an experience that would be the first of many defeats. Undeterred, she found work in the competitive world of magazines, eventually moving to New York. Before long, Anna's journey to Vogue became a battle to ascend, no matter who or what stood in her way. Once she was crowned editor in chief - in one of the stormiest transitions in fashion magazine history - she continued the fight to retain her enviable position, ultimately rising to dominate all of Conde Nast.Based on extensive interviews with Anna Wintour's closest friends and collaborators, including some of the biggest names in fashion, journalist Amy Odell has crafted the most revealing portrait of Wintour ever published. Weaving Anna's personal story into a larger narrative about the hierarchical dynamics of the fashion industry and the complex world of Conde Nast, Anna charts the relentless ambition of the woman who would become an icon.

Die überraschenden Ursprünge der Männergarderobe - zeitlos und rebellisch. Wie wurde die Jeans, wie das weiße T-Shirt zum Klassiker? Welcher Filmstar hat die Lederjacke weltweit zur Ikone gemacht ? Und wurden Chinos wirklich für das Militär erdacht ? Manch klassisches Kleidungsstück hat eine durchaus bewegte Geschichte und nicht selten beginnt sie als Arbeitskleidung, auf See, beim Miltär oder in der Luftfahrt. The Rebel's Wardrobe erzählt, wie sich Skater eine ursprünglich für Eisenbahnarbeiter entworfene Jacke angeeignet haben, oder wieso ein Tennishemd zur Uniform der britischen Mods wurde. Kenntnisreich und unterhaltsam blickt dieses Buch zurück auf die rebellische Jugend heutiger Kleidungsstücke und erzählt in Geschichten und Bildern, was sie zu zeitlosen Klassikern machte.

Moden har været et af de mest indflydelsesrige fænomener i den vestlige civilisation siden renæssancen. Den har underlagt sig stadig flere områder af det moderne menneskes livsverden og er nærmest blevet en ´anden natur´ for os. En forståelse af moden burde derfor kunne bidrage til en forståelse af os selv og vores handlingsliv. I filosofien er moden imidlertid blevet forbigået i stilhed, muligvis ud fra den tanke, at dette det mest overfladiske af alle fænomener ikke skulle være et værdigt studieobjekt for et så ´dybt´ fag som filosofi. Svendsen ser det anderledes.

Erste umfassende Retrospektive des italienischen Fotokünstlers Daniele Tamagni (1975-2017)"Style Is Life" versammelt Daniele Tamagnis Bilder von kongolesischen Sapeurs, Botswanas Afrometals, bolivianischen Wrestlerinnen, jungen Tanzgruppen aus Johannesburg und mehr und zeigt berühmte und unveröffentlichte Fotografien, die uns an den subversiven und politischen Wert der Mode erinnern.»Bei jedem Bild von Daniele wird deutlich, dass er kein Fotograf war, der einfach nur Momente losgelöst von der Umgebung oder den Menschen festhielt. Er tauchte in jeden Augenblick ein und positionierte sich auf einzigartige Weise als ausländischer Fotograf, dem es wichtig war, eine Beziehung zu seinem Motiv aufzubauen.« (Aïda Muluneh)»Danieles Bilder haben den World Press Photo gewonnen, Modedesigner wie Paul Smith und Stella Jean inspiriert, die anspruchsvolle Jury des ICP Infinity Award überzeugt und Künstler wie Solange Knowles verführt.« (Chiara Bardelli Nonino)
