A charming chronicle of the life of London milliner Stephen Jones and her beautifully crafted hats that captured the mood of every fashion “moment” from the electric 1980s to today. In 1980, everyone from rock stars to royalty, from Boy George to Diana, Princess of Wales, identified Stephen Jones as the milliner who would help them make headlines. Jones’ creative collaborations over the years have included partnerships with designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Rei Kawakubo, John Galliano and Thom Browne. Stephen Jones: Memories, written by Susannah Frankel, one of fashion’s most informed voices, chronicles Jones’ rise from the London street fashion scene to the international catwalk, showcasing the magic, allure and spirit of his iconic designs. It also draws on behind-the-scenes images, preparatory illustrations, and personal and ephemeral photographs to tell the story of one of the most influential milliners of our time. Beautifully designed and engaging, this delightful volume traces the myriad ways in which, from runway shows to racetracks, from pop proms to royal garden parties, Stephen Jones’ millinery adds the exclamation point to every fashion statement.

Dior by Marc Bohan
195.00 € En savoir +BuyIcon Icon Opinion :
A slightly lesser-known figure than Yves Saint Laurent or John Galiano, Marc Bohan nevertheless contributed, from 1960 to 1988, to making Dior the highly revered house it is today. With his slightly more ethereal silhouettes, Marc Bohan left behind designs that are as sophisticated as they are timeless. And this book sheds new light on that period – a period documented and explained in the words of Jérôme Hanover, Christian Dior’s Director of Publications.

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.
