Historia de las Tendencias de Moda
Román Padín Otero
¿Qué queremos para Venezuela? ¿En qué podemos y queremos ser los número uno? ¿Cuáles son nuestras verdaderas ventajas competitivas? ¿Quién podrá conducir el proceso de llevarnos hacia la Venezuela que todos queremos? En una época de baja autoestima, marcada por los síntomas de una depresión colectiva, donde aparentemente no hay espacio para los proyectos globales, donde los maitres a penser lo único que saben indicar es la muerte de las utopías, la muerte de las ideologías, el fin de la historia, y otros cantos fúnebres del mismo estilo, los auspiciantes y realizadores de este libro — el Consejo de Coordinación Empresarial del Estado Bolívar, los Amigos de Guayana, y la Fundación Galac para la Investigación y el Desarrollo del Aprendizaje Innovativo — se declaran muy optimistas sobre el futuro de nuestro País, y lanzan una Propuesta Política para reinventar a Venezuela, opinando que nada es más necesario en la Venezuela de los años '90 que una Propuesta de País con la cual identificarse, y que pueda ser asumida como guía para la acción cotidiana; en ella, dirigida a la gente de acción y de buena voluntad, se intenta sugerir un camino para hallar respuestas a estas preguntas.
Pequeño libro de Chanel
Emma Baxter-Wright · 2022
* Elegante e ilustrada, esta monografía narra la vida de una de las diseñadoras más influyentes de la historia: Coco Chanel. * La diseñadora inició una revolución en la moda con sus creaciones en ropa deportiva, el vestidito negro, la chaqueta de tweed, las perlas de fantasía y los zapatos bicolor, entre otros. * Este libro sigue la evolución e innovación de este extraordinario personaje, desde una niñez precaria hasta su legado actual: un tributo adecuado a una leyenda. Artífice de algunas de las tendencias más innovadoras que han existido en el mundo, Coco Chanel fue una revolucionaria en su época, ya que aprovechó el momento para brindar a las mujeres lo que querían, justo antes de reconocer que lo necesitaban. Partió de las prendas básicas del guardarropa masculino para empoderar a las mujeres, proporcionando un código de vestir democrático que acabó por dar libertad, igualdad y un clasicismo sobrio. Este libro conmemora la vida y la trayectoria profesional de esta diseñadora tan influyente, que logró llegar a lo más alto desde unos orígenes muy humildes mediante el fenómeno internacional de la marca, que se expandió para ofrecer perfumes, joyas y complementos, un legado que sigue vivo en la actualidad. Incluso hoy, muchos años después de su muerte, la diseñadora es aún el estandarte inamovible de la casa Chanel.

Worn
Sofi Thanhauser · 2022
<b><b>A<i> NEW YORKER</i> BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR <b>• </b>A sweeping and captivatingly told history of clothing and the stuff it is made of—an unparalleled deep-dive into how everyday garments have transformed our lives, our societies, and our planet.</b><br><br>“We learn that, if we were a bit more curious about our clothes, they would offer us rich, interesting and often surprising insights into human history...a deep and sustained inquiry into the origins of what we wear, and what we have worn for the past 500 years." —<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br><br>In this panoramic social history, Sofi Thanhauser brilliantly tells five stories—Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics, Wool—about the clothes we wear and where they come from, illuminating our world in unexpected ways. She takes us from the opulent court of Louis XIV to the labor camps in modern-day Chinese-occupied Xinjiang. We see how textiles were once dyed with lichen, shells, bark, saffron, and beetles, displaying distinctive regional weaves and knits, and how the modern Western garment industry has refashioned our attire into the homogenous and disposable uniforms popularized by fast-fashion brands. <br><br>Thanhauser makes clear how the clothing industry has become one of the planet’s worst polluters and how it relies on chronically underpaid and exploited laborers. But she also shows us how micro-communities, textile companies, and clothing makers in every corner of the world are rediscovering ancestral and ethical methods for making what we wear. <br><br>Drawn from years of intensive research and reporting from around the world, and brimming with fascinating stories, <i>Worn</i> reveals to us that our clothing comes not just from the countries listed on the tags or ready-made from our factories. It comes, as well, from deep in our histories.
Overdressed
Elizabeth L. Cline · 2013
<b>“Overdressed does for T-shirts and leggings what <i>Fast Food Nation </i>did for burgers and fries.”</b><br><b>—Katha Pollitt</b><br> <br>Cheap fashion has fundamentally changed the way most Americans dress. Stores ranging from discounters like Target to traditional chains like JCPenney now offer the newest trends at unprecedentedly low prices. And we have little reason to keep wearing and repairing the clothes we already own when styles change so fast and it’s cheaper to just buy more.<br> <br>Cline sets out to uncover the true nature of the cheap fashion juggernaut. What are we doing with all these cheap clothes? And more important, what are they doing to us, our society, our environment, and our economic well-being?

La moda en el franquismo
Ana Velasco Molpeceres · 2024
<p>La moda durante el franquismo, periodo aciago marcado por la represión, la escasez y el atraso, coincidió, tras el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, con el surgimiento de una nueva sociedad. La cultura pop modificó gustos y actitudes, bajo el liderazgo estadounidense. La alta costura dio paso a la ropa lista para llevar y a los grandes almacenes. La España de la mantilla y las camisas viejas quedó atrás: la minifalda, los vaqueros y el bikini hicieron su aparición. Novedades que también encarnaron las rebeldes chicas topolino, con sus "zapatos de coja" y su llamativo estilo. E incluso muchachas menos extravagantes, más acordes a la Sección Femenina de Falange, que, peinadas con el recogido arriba España, soñaban con casarse con un velo de tul ilusión. Este libro habla de los sueños y las realidades que modelaron y reflejaron las modas en la sociedad española a lo largo de casi cuatro décadas. De Mariquita Pérez, muñeca fascista pero moderna, que acompañó y marcó el vestir de las niñas hasta que tomaban las "galas de mujer". De las creaciones de diseñadores españoles como Ana de Pombo, Flora Villarreal o Balenciaga. También de la Guardia Civil y las incautaciones de tejidos del mercado negro, en el que las medias eran tan preciadas como los cigarrillos y las drogas. Del Sindicato Nacional del Textil; de los salones de belleza, los desfiles de modelos y de la tienda Loewe en el Castellana Hilton, donde compraba Ava Gardner.<br></p>
Historia de la moda en España: De la mantilla al bikini
Ana Velasco Molpeceres · 2021
La camisa de Isabel la Católica, el negro inquisitorial de Felipe II, las figuras populares de gitanas, toreros, chulapas y chulos, prendas como la mantilla o nombres como Cristóbal Balenciaga, Amancio Ortega y Zara son algunos de los hitos y tópicos de la historia de la moda española. Sin embargo, su evolución revela un mundo mucho más complejo en el que es posible constatar cómo el fenómeno de la moda nos permite comprender los cambios y pervivencias de las mentalidades, los gustos y las identidades colectivas e individuales, configurándolos y a la vez reflejándolos. Este libro emprende un recorrido por la historia del traje y del vestir desde sus orígenes en la península hasta la actualidad para mostrar su alcance y difusión, sus peculiaridades y tendencias, la influencia internacional de la cultura española y sus estereotipos, así como las tensiones entre los estilos autóctonos y extranjeros, lo tradicional y lo nuevo.
Dioses y reyes: Ascenso y caída de John Galliano y Alexander McQueen
Dana Thomas · 2018
Alexander McQueen y John Galliano tuvieron vidas similares. Ambos provenían de familias humildes, se criaron en un entorno hostil a su personalidad, estudiaron en la escuela Saint Martins y los dos, gracias a su talento y tesón, crearon con éxito sus propias marcas y triunfaron en Dior y Givenchy. Pero la misma pasión que les encumbró fue la que les hundió. Si la moda es reflejo de su tiempo, ambos diseñadores fueron el espejo del mayor cambio experimentado en la industria en el último siglo. Su talento creativo y su capacidad para generar espectáculo fueron aprovechados por las grandes corporaciones para llevar la moda a otro nivel, más comercial y menos creativo. Un cambio de modelo que transformó la industria. Dana Thomas ha escrito las biografías cruzadas de ambos diseñadores, y consigue un triple retrato humano, creativo y económico de la época.

The Art of Manipulating Fabric
Colette Wolff · 1996
The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric - gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials - are seemingly endless.

Working from the simplest possible form - a flat piece of cloth and a threaded needle - she categorizes all major dimensional techniques, show how they are related, and give examples of variations both traditional and modern. The result is an encyclopedia of techniques that resurface, reshape, restructure and reconstruct fabric.<br><br> • More than 350 diagrams support the extensive how-tos, organized into broad general categories, then specific sub-techniques<br> • Handsome photos galleries showcase the breathtaking possibilities in each technique and aid visual understanding by emphasizing the sculptured fabric surface with light and shadow<br> • Textile artists and quilters, as well as garment and home decor sewers, will expand their design horizons with the almost limitless effects that can be achieved.

<b>The definitive history of the world’s most influential fashion trend from the people who wore it best</b><br><p>The story begins in 1972 in Jersey City, the birthplace of Trash and Vaudeville, the first- ever streetwear shop; it then moves on to the start of punk, which was a decisive influence on what is considered “streetwear” today.

Maison Martin Margiela
Maison Martin Margiela · 2009
Graduating from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s, Martin Margiela (and his contemporaries in the Antwerp Six) transformed global fashion with his aggressive restatement of traditional fashion design and a polemical approach to luxury trends. Working first with the house of Gaultier, Margiela absorbed the radical design of Japanese deconstruction, making it wholly his own with the founding of his own label in 1988. Margiela propounds a singular, enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction—a monochromatic palette, outsized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed seams, or roughly appliquéd details—to develop a fully considered worldview, one with elegance, mystery, and menace in equal measure. This book provides an inside look at the design process from a craftsman who creates pieces prized for their originality, delicacy, and daring. In the spirit of Margiela’s garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. This book provides a window onto the intimate, handmade world of a unique designer.

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.

Petra Collins: Discharge (CAPRICIOUS)
· 2015
In her highly anticipated book Discharge, Canadian-born, New York–based artist and photographer Petra Collins (born 1992) presents images of self-discovery and femininity that explore the emotional, complex intersection of life online and off. Responding to the ubiquity of social media, Collins offers images of unflinching honesty--girls on the brink of adulthood taking selfies, applying lip gloss, pleasuring themselves, or lounging in childhood bedrooms amid piles of stuffed animals--which explore the private and public aspects of growing up as a woman at a moment when female bodies are ubiquitously hyper-mediated by Photoshop and social media. "I'm used to being told by society that I must regulate my body to fit the norm," Collins writes in her introductory essay on censorship and social media. From there, the book deconstructs that norm through her intimate photographs of friends--photographs that, rather than counter the male gaze, document female subjects processing it. The young Collins uses film, lending her photographs, in spite of their inclusion of iPhones and laptops, a 70s aesthetic, a romantic nostalgia. Discharge includes a discussion between Collins and her friend, Rookie blogger and founder Tavi Gevinson, moderated by artist K8 Hardy. The photographs and discourse around them are part of a contemporary girl power revolution, proving that feminism and sexuality aren't mutually exclusive.
Petra Collins: Coming of Age
Petra Collins · 2017
The first monograph by photographer Petra Collins presents the world of a thoroughly modern creative.<br/>Since bursting into the zeitgeist, the precocious Petra Collins has captured the hearts of the art and fashion worlds alike. Collins champions an inclusive mode of representation that inspires young women to celebrate how they live now and their agency in creating their image. When Collins shoots—in series ranging from controversial self-portraits to emotionally charged and intensely colored works—she operates on the joys, excitement, tedium, and madness of growing up in today’s interconnected kingdom of images.<br/>Revealing personal essays, Polaroids, and contributions by the women who inspire her unveil the unassuming grace at the center of campaigns for Gucci and Adidas, films for the Tate, and countless editorials as photographer and subject. Collins embodies the best qualities of the emerging creative community she fosters in curatorial projects like The Ardorous: generous, collaborative, and open.
Fairy Tales
· Petra Collins 2021
Artist Petra Collins and actress Alexa Demie create nine erotic stories in a contemporary reimagining of a fairy tale book.<br/><br/>Fairy Tales is an erotic folklore of short stories shot by Petra Collins starring Alexa Demie. The pair created the concept and text collaboratively. Alexa portrays nine characters that embody new stories they would have liked to see. As children, Petra and Alexa were both enamored with fairy tales, which provided an escape from their own painful realities.<br/><br/>Each of the nine tales are set in unique spaces, ranging from suburban homes and parking lots to fantastical sets. Petra and Alexa’s chapters of elves, mermaids, sirens, water sprites, fallen angels, fairies, witches, and banshees blend their own stories with retold fairy tales. The photos combine elements of camp, prosthetics, and shibari in a surreal update to the imagery of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, Charles Perrault, and others.

Pierre Borhan · 2021
“The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. It is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image, a man's personal style, changing attitudes to the male face and body.”<br/>— Mario Testino<br/>From Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men.<br/>Featuring an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth, and many previously unpublished works from Testino’s archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades. Costume, tradition, gender play, portraiture, photojournalism, and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through the dandy and the gentleman, the macho and the fey, the world-famous face to the unknown passerby.<br/>Every photograph represents a unique point of view, and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With Josh Hartnett for VMAN (2005), Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Visconti’s The Damned. Studies of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jude Law and Colin Firth are as candid as they are curious. David Beckham, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards feature for the courage they have taken in redefining male identity. Through a kaleidoscope of guises, these portraits define a period in which men’s changing role, style and appearance has never escaped Testino’s eye and impeccable intuition.<br/><br/>About the series<br/>TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price.

Peter Lindbergh on Fashion Photography
Peter Lindbergh · 2020
It was on a Malibu beach in 1988 that Peter Lindbergh shot the White Shirts series, images now known the world over. Simple yet seminal, the photographs introduced us to Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Rachel Williams, Karen Alexander, Tatjana Patitz, and Estelle Lefébure. This marked the beginning of an era that redefined beauty, and Lindbergh would go on to alter the landscape of fashion photography for the decades that followed.<br/>This edition gathers more than 300 images from forty years of Lindbergh’s career. It traces the German photographer’s cinematic inflections and humanist approach, which produced images at once seductive and introspective.<br/>In 1980 Rei Kawakubo asked Lindbergh to shoot a Commes des Garçons campaign, one of his earlier forays into commercial photography. Kawakubo gave him carte blanche. The following years brought forth collaborations with the most venerated names in fashion and resulted in a relationship of mutual reverence; Lindbergh’s respect for some of the greatest designers of our time is palpable in his portraits. Among those photographed are Azzedine Alaïa, Giorgio Armani, Alber Elbaz, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Thierry Mugler, Yves Saint Laurent, Jil Sander, and Yohji Yamamoto.<br/>Widely considered a pioneer in his field, Lindbergh shirked the industry standards of beauty and instead celebrated the essence and individuality of his subjects. He was pivotal to the rise of models such as Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Mariacarla Boscono, Lara Stone, Claudia Schiffer, Amber Valletta, Nadja Auermann, and Kristen McMenamy.<br/>Lindbergh’s reach also extended across Hollywood and beyond: Cate Blanchett, Charlotte Rampling, Richard Gere, Isabelle Huppert, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Brad Pitt, Catherine Deneuve, and Jeanne Moreau all appear in his works. From the picture chosen by Anna Wintour as the cover of her first Vogue issue to the legendary shot of Tina Turner on the Eiffel Tower, it is never the clothes, celebrity, or glamour that takes center stage in a Lindbergh photograph. Each picture conveys the humanity of its subject with a serene melancholy that is uniquely and unmistakably Lindbergh.<br/>From the outset of his career, Lindbergh was well-known in the contemporary art world, where his photographs were exhibited in galleries long before they appeared in magazines. This edition features an updated introduction adapted from an interview in 2016, allowing a glimpse behind Lindbergh’s lens, where the photographer recounts his early collaborations, the tenuous relationship between commercial and fine art, and the power of storytelling.<br/><br/>About the series<br/>TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price.

My Body
Emily Ratajkowski · 2021
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "My Body offers a lucid examination of the mirrors in which its author has seen herself, and her indoctrination into the cult of beauty as defined by powerful men. In its more transcendent passages . . . the author steps beyond the reach of any 'Pygmalion' and becomes a more dangerous kind of beautiful. She becomes a kind of god in her own right: an artist." —Melissa Febos, The New York Times Book Review A "MOST ANTICIPATED" AND "BEST OF FALL 2021" BOOK FOR * VOGUE * TIME * ESQUIRE * PEOPLE * USA TODAY * CHICAGO TRIBUNE * LOS ANGELES TIMES * SHONDALAND * ALMA * THRILLEST * NYLON * FORTUNE A deeply honest investigation of what it means to be a woman and a commodity from Emily Ratajkowski, the archetypal, multi-hyphenate celebrity of our time Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age twenty-one, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture’s commodification of women is the subject of this book. My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski’s life while investigating the culture’s fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women’s sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the gray area between consent and abuse. Nuanced, fierce, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a writer brimming with courage and intelligence.
