Von 30 cm Großformat für 49,80 auf Normalformat verkleinerte Sonderausgabe des Bildbands "Kate" (ID 51/95), in dem das "Super-Model" K. Moss von bekannten Fotografinnen und Fotografen gekonnt in Szene gesetzt wird. Dabei zeigt sich deutlich, daß die Bilder in größerer Wiedergabe besser wirken. Wer das Original nicht gekauft hat, wird allerdings auch mit der geschrumpften Fassung hohe Ausleihzahlen erzielen können. (3) (LK/HH: Raschka)
Spanning 20 years and two continents, Liquid Light 1983-2003 draws from over 2,000 photographs taken by the media world legend, Fabien Baron. Made on the coasts of Eastern America, Western Europe and the Mediterranean, at sites to which Baron returned year after year, these works transform concrete, geographical sites into abstract tableaux. Gathered together in book form, they achieve a meditative rhythm of incremental change. While each image varies in its detail of weather, hour and light (along with lens and film stock), the series maintains a fundamental compositional water and sky bisected by horizon. The images are deceptively still, chromatic abstractions gleaned from a sea and sky that are never stationary and never entirely empty.
A landmark publication celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the House of Dior Christian Dior’s first collection in 1947 heralded the birth of a new fashion silhouette for women. Here, seventy of the most memorable looks created by Christian Dior and his successors—Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri—have been specially selected and photographed in intimate detail. This essential volume also features those designs in original sketches, runway shots, and fashion shoots by the world’s greatest fashion photographers, including Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, William Klein, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindbergh, Mario Testino, Paolo Roversi, and Nick Knight. Exploring the classic elements of Dior in depth, the book covers the concept of line and architecture in fashion; the influence of history and art; the use of color; gardens and landscapes as sources of inspiration; and, of course, the brand’s famous muses and clients: the Duchess of Windsor, Marlene Dietrich, Princess Grace of Monaco, Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, Natalie Portman, and Jennifer Lawrence, among many others. Published to mark seventy years of the House of Dior, Paris, Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams is a magnificent showcase of one of the world’s greatest couture houses.
