Fashion design professionale

Manuela Brambatti · 2017

Questo libro è perfetto, nell'attuale momento storico. Nell'era dei tutorial, era davvero necessario che una persona dotata dell'esperienza e della bravura di Manuela Brambatti insegnasse a chi vuole disegnare moda i segreti per ottenere risultati si può progettare l'abito più geniale del mondo, ma se lo si disegna male o senza cura difficilmente chi dovrà approvarlo o sceglierlo ne resterà conquistato. Queste pagine, dunque, si rivelano uno scrigno di suggerimenti, se non di segreti, da fare propri con la consapevolezza che a condividerli con i lettori è un'Artista di sconfinata capacità. Quelle donne riescono a ipnotizzarmi e a conquistarmi. Proprio come mi accadeva da ragazzo, quando guardavo quelle illustrazioni e fantasticavo su quella "Manu" così fantasiosa, coinvolgente, emozionante che mi conduceva per mano nella creatività di Gianni Versace.

20th-Century Fashion

Jim Heimann, Alison A. Nieder · 2016

The 20th century saw fashion evolve from an exclusive Parisian salon business catering for the wealthy elite into a global industry employing millions, with new trends whisked into stores before the last model has even left the catwalk.<br/>Along the way, the signature silhouettes of each era evolved beyond recognition. For women, House of Worth crinolines gave way to Vionnet’s bias-cut gowns, Dior’s New Look to Quant’s Chelsea Look, Halston’s white suit to Frankie B.’s low-rise jeans. In menswear, ready-made suits signaled the demise of bespoke tailoring, long before Hawaiian shirts or skinny jeans entered the game.<br/>20th-Century Fashion offers a retrospective of the last hundred years of style via 400 fashion advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. The images trace not only the changing trends but also the evolution in their marketing and audience, as fashion was adopted into popular culture and the mass market, decade by decade. An in-depth introduction and illustrated timeline detail the style-makers and trendsetters, and how historic events, design houses, retailers, films, magazines, and celebrities shaped the way we dressed—then and now.<br/><br/>About the series<br/>Bibliotheca Universalis — Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!

Little Book of Dior (Little Books of Fashion, 5)

Karen Homer · 2020

Little Book of Dior is the beautifully illustrated story of Christian Dior's early life, the brand's inception, the triumphs of the couture collections on the catwalk and the red carpet, and the brand's journey after the death of its founder. Christian Dior's spectacular rise to the upper echelons of the Parisian haute couture scene is one of the most compelling stories of twentieth-century fashion. An art gallerist with a contemporary vision, Dior's debut haute couture collection invented the 'new look' silhouette and revolutionized the way women dressed, shopped and saw themselves. The House of Dior's unique look blended the traditional, artisanal skills of the French fashion house - tailoring and intricate embellishment - with a modern sensibility. Dior was only helmed by its founder for a decade, but has flourished under the creative direction of some of the most storied names in fashion. In the present day, Maria Grazia Chiuri steers the brand as it stays true to its identity of opulence, femininity, drama and the creation of what Christian Dior called 'the complete look', from garments to perfume and shoes. An exquisitely curated selection of illustrations accompanied by fashion writer Karen Homer's authoritative text presents the journey of a brand known today as the last word in opulence, drama and femininity.

The Black Cat

Edgar Allan Poe · 1900

"The Black Cat" is one of Edgar Allan Poe's most memorable stories. The tale centers around a black cat and the subsequent deterioration of a man. The story is often linked with "The Tell-Tale Heart" because of the profound psychological elements these two works share.Edgar Allan Poes short story The Black Cat, first published in the August 19, 1843, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, is a chilling story written through the eyes of a man awaiting death for the murder of his wife. For over 170 years the narrator of this story has captivated critics and readers with his allusions to ethos, pathos, and logosas he says that he places before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment an unsettling account of the events surrounding the murder of his wife and his abuse of the family pets.The narrator declares that he will state his case candidly, all the while creating nothing more than a pretense of frankness and objectivity. He titillates readers with details about the horrendous murder of his wife and his first catif, in fact, any cats were actually killed in the making of this story. He also may leave readers wondering about his purpose for writing. The story cannot save him from the noose. He has no progeny and mentions no living relatives who might care about his guilt or innocence, so the story serves little purpose for the writer, leaving readers to wonder who might be the intended audience and what might be the storys point.Readers return to this story, perhaps, because of the narrators ability to lure audiences into believing large parts of the tale. when the narrator confesses his guilt in the opening and offers incriminating information, readers may at first think the narrator offers a confidential and unique version of his predicament. However, when the narrator later blames the cat for everything that has gone wrong or when he begins to contradict himself, readers will question narrator reliability. It is true that readers often encounter unreliable narrators in literature, but the dissembling in this story actually points to an important aspect of Poes work as the numerous inconsistencies and deceptions direct readers away from the story and toward an assessment of the narrator and his behavior.
