From 1900 to the 1960s, Steichen devoted himself to photography: artistic, industrial, fashion, nudes, portraits or landscapes. His legacy remains omnipresent; text by William A. Ewing, photographs reproduced in duotone, biographical and bibliographical notes.
There is hardly a photographic genre to which Edward Steichen has not applied his talents and achieved singular success. Whether art or industrial, fashion or beauty photographs, celebrity portraits, cityscapes or rural landscapes, nude or choreographic studies, his legacy remains omnipresent. A curious and inventive mind, Steichen could afford such diversity, he who denounced habit and routine, and warned against schools of thought. Introduction by William A. Ewing, 61 color photographs and biographical and bibliographical notes.

    Description :The triumph of an eternal house, seventy years after its spectacular first show.

    On February 12, 1947, a young house named after its founder, Christian Dior, presented a spring-summer haute couture collection in a Paris still in the grip of winter cold. The creations were shown in a salon freshly painted in dove gray at 30 Avenue Montaigne, a historic and mythical address. This is the novelty that Dior symbolizes for fashion in general, and for Paris in particular. These codes, this visual language have fascinated the many successors of the designer: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, but especially John Galliano, and since 2017 Maria Grazia Chiuri. Their task has been, season after season, to find a new voice through the vocabulary of Dior.

    Author: Andre Leon Talley

    Description : During André Leon Talley’s first magazine job assisting Andy Warhol at Interview , a fateful meeting with Karl Lagerfeld began a decades-long friendship and propelled Talley into the upper echelons by virtue of his shared knowledge and adoration of fashion. He moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild’s Women’s Wear Daily , befriending fashion’s most important designers. But as Talley made friends, he also made enemies. A fraught encounter with a member of the house of Yves Saint Laurent sent him back to New York and into the offices of Vogue under Grace Mirabella. There, he developed an unlikely but intimate friendship with Anna Wintour, and as she rose to the top of Vogue‘s masthead, Talley became the most influential man in fashion.The Chiffon Trenches is a candid look at the who’s who of the last fifty years of fashion, and proof that fact is always fascinatingly more devilish than fiction. André Leon Talley’s engaging memoir tells the story of how he not only survived but thrived – despite racism, illicit rumors and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry – to become one of the most legendary voices and faces in fashion.
