Eyewear designer Moss Lipow has scoured eBay, auction houses, yard sales and flea markets around the world to build his collection of binoculars and photographs. This book, which traces the history of eyewear over the past millennium, features the most interesting items in this collection, as well as models owned by other eyewear enthusiasts. Considering the variety of these objects – prehistoric whalebone snow goggles, riveted wooden binoculars worn by Italian clergy, medieval bezicles, lorgnettes favored by 19th century dandies, pince-nez and monocles, the first tinted aviator’s glasses of the 20th century, and plastic-framed glasses à la Godard – it is clear that eyewear has undergone an exciting evolution; What was once a practical and often DIY accessory has become a multi-billion euro global industry, catering to those with vision problems and fashion enthusiasts. This richly illustrated book is enhanced by essays drawn from a wide variety of sources, including texts, old catalogs and magazines, and out-of-print publications.
More than 1,000 examples of eyewear, each more extravagant than the last.
Covers nearly 500 years of design.

Philip treacy hats of the twenty-first century
120.00 € En savoir +BuyAuthor: Philip Treacy
Publishing House: Rizzoli USA
Publication Date: October 2015
The work of one of the most influential and innovative hat designers of this century. Philip Treacy’s career over the last two decades has been prolific and high-profile. A visual delight, this book shares Treacy’s favorite designs in 250 striking photographs, curated by Treacy himself, and showcases his collaborations and personal relationships. Treacy has said, “Every hat I have ever made has begun in my mind as a photograph. I can see it on the model, at the right angle, before I even begin.” Indeed, his hats have been photographed by the most iconic image makers of our time, including Patrick Demarchelier, Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, and Irving Penn. And his hats have been modeled on equally famous heads, ranging from Grace Jones and Lady Gaga to the Duchesses of Cornwall and Devonshire.
Since his early friendships with Isabella Blow and Alexander McQueen, Treacy’s imaginative designs have been a synthesis of art and fashion, with materials ranging from silk and lace to Plexiglas and leather, trimmed with feathers or Swarovski crystals. Combining luxury and sophistication, his work has helped shape modern fashion. This first, highly personal book is a glamorous tour through Treacy’s world, and documents how a hat can evoke the magic of life and speak to the transformative power of fashion.

An exclusive homage to – and retrospective of – the iconic fashion designer’s couture accessories.
‘One can never overstate the importance of accessories. They are what turns a dress into something else. I like dresses to be sober and accessories to be wild’, Yves Saint Laurent, 1977.
Yves Saint Laurent Accessories is the first book to date to shed light on the breathtaking accessories created by one of the most influential fashion designers of all time. From his first collection in 1962 to his acclaimed final presentation in 2002, Yves Saint Laurent created exquisite jewellery, hats, shoes, and handbags to complement and enhance each of his couture creations. Beautifully designed, in a small format evocative of a jewellery box, the book offers an unprecedented glimpse into the highly confidential archives of The Yves Saint Laurent Foundation in Paris, which is home to over 20,000 remarkable accessories. The book features specially commissioned photography of the accessories alongside a treasure trove of rare materials including preparatory sketches, intimate portraits of Saint Laurent at work, behind-the-scenes snapshots of models, catwalk photographs, and advertising campaigns. Yves Saint Laurent Accessories introduces readers to a prominent yet rarely seen side of Saint Laurent’s art, leading them backstage and through the history of a house that helped to shape the course of fashion.
