Prada: The Complete Collections (Catwalk)
· 2019
<b>A dazzling and authoritative look at three decades of Prada's groundbreaking fashion designs through stunning runway photography</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <b>"[A] 'greatest hits' riffing on Miuccia Prada's own obsessions with maid's uniforms, schoolgirl garb and twists on luxury."--Alexander Fury, <i>AnOther Magazine</i></b><br> <br> <br> <br> <b>"The perfect coffee-table book for style-savvy bibliophiles."--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><br> <br> <br> <br> Founded in 1913 as a leather-goods house in Milan, Prada entered the field of fashion when Miuccia Prada took the helm of the company in 1979. After initially focusing on accessories, she presented the house's first fashion collection in 1988, quickly transforming Prada into one of the world's most influential luxury brands. Her deeply personal, sophisticated, and subtly subversive approach often works against the clichés of beauty and sexy as she strives, in her own words, to be "more clever, or more difficult, or more complicated . . . or more new."<br> <br> <br> <br> Published in collaboration with Prada to celebrate 30 years of trend-setting creations, this stunning volume offers a comprehensive and definitive history of the house. Organized chronologically, each of Prada's collections is introduced by a description of its influences and highlights and is illustrated with stunning catwalk images of models such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Gisele Bündchen showcasing clothing, accessories, and beauty looks. With a biographical profile of Miuccia Prada and an extensive reference section, this handsome and well-researched retrospective reflects the passion, craftsmanship, and creative spirit that define Prada.

CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion
Sunita Kumar Nair · 2023
<p><b>Fashion and creative director Sunita Kumar Nair presents<i> Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion</i>, a beautiful homage to the style icon's timeless, distinguished beauty and legacy.</b> <p> Featuring spectacular photography and design, <i>Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion </i>gathers the greats in the fashion world to speak of her timeless style and presents never-before-published personal anecdotes from friends and family. <p> Long blonde hair, an iconic red lip, and effortless style--all signatures of fashion icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Carolyn used fashion as her medium. She hadn't found her voice yet in front of the camera as Mrs. Kennedy, so she let her fashion speak to the world for her. <p> With her attention to detail, strict color palette, and unique, unidentifiable looks with the brand labels deliberately removed, she was the essence of class--no label would ever define her. She didn't choose to abide by the typical patrician standard expected from a woman of her position who had married into a family dynasty. Instead, she did the unexpected and wore her revolutionary clothes with aplomb, confidence, and grace. <p> This book is the ultimate commemoration of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's style, fashion code, and the impact she left behind nearly two decades later. It includes memories and tributes from fashion luminaries including Graydon Carter, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Manolo Blahnik, Wes Gordon, Tory Burch, and Samira Nasr. <p> This lushly produced high-design volume is packed with beautiful photography. <p><b>Foreword by Gabriela Hearst, award-winning designer to First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris * </b><b>Preface by Edward Enninful, OBE, Editor-in-Chief of <i>British Vogue</i></b></p>
