'These are beautiful drawings and the book is a beautiful gift from
a mother to a daughter.' - Tracey Emin 'This visual diary is an
illustration of Peyton-Jones' treasuring of her daughter. Immersing
myself in these touching drawings takes me back to my own days of
motherhood. They're so full of warmth, wonder and love, I'm left
wanting more.' - Philippa Perry 'With this artist's book, the
legendary museum director Julia Peyton-Jones returns to her origins
as an artist. These wonderful drawings are the first public
manifestations of her return to the studio and an art career that
started in the late 1970s with paintings, film and performances.
Charting her everyday life with her daughter in words and images,
this inspiring book is first and foremost a story about happiness.'
- Hans Ulrich Obrist In this new book, Julia Peyton-Jones tells the
story of her life with her three-year-old daughter Pia over the
course of the year when Covid-19 spread throughout the world. Made
every evening once her daughter had gone to bed, this beautiful
series of drawings comprises a visual diary of their lives in the
lead-up to and during the pandemic. Peyton-Jones arranges her
sketches, executed in ink, charcoal, pencil and watercolour, into
grid formations that act like windows onto the special moments of
each day, accompanied by captions. As the book develops, the
drawings burst into colour and are complemented by reflections on
motherhood, as well as signposts that reflect the state of the
world as it was changing. At the heart of the book is the tender
relationship between a mother and her daughter, which is
simultaneously deeply personal and universal. During the pandemic,
mother and child are contained in a bubble, watching the park and
the spaces they once occupied from their window. Everyday events
become treasured highlights of the days, which roll by with all
sense of time collapsed. When lockdown lifts, we share their joyful
return to normality.
'One is never over-dressed or under-dressed with a Little Black
Dress' Karl Lagerfeld Ninety years after Vogue dubbed Coco Chanel's
simple short black 'Ford' dress 'the frock that all the world will
wear', Chloe Fox celebrates the best LBDs in Vogue Essentials:
Little Black Dress. From the bold, dramatic designs of Zandra
Rhodes to the eye-catching LBDs by Vivienne Westwood, from the
pared-down simplicity of Calvin Klein's shift dresses to an
asymmetric shoulder evening gown by Versace, Vogue Essentials:
Little Black Dress celebrates the very best of the LBD. Published
simultaneously with Vogue Essentials: Handbags. This irresistible
new series from Conran Octopus and British Vogue explores the key
pieces in a stylish woman's wardrobe and features photographs from
Vogue's peerless archive of more than a million pictures.
