A practical introduction to key fashion trends from the little
black dress and bowler hat to the ladies trouser suit and 2:55 bag.
Fashion is all around us, and few of us are unaffected by it; yet,
how many people know the origins of the little black dress, bowler
hat or ladies trouser suit? How many people can pin down the famous
brand of leather jacket Marlon Brando wore in The Wild One, or why
the Chanel bag is known as the 2:55 bag? How to Read Fashion
identifies the main fashion trends of the past 200 years and shows
you how they relate to contemporary styles. From Neo-Classical to
Gothic, Empire to Punk, Military and Designer Branding, explore the
defining characteristics of each 'look' and read about the
techniques and materials for some additional technical grounding.
Finally, find out how all these trends are applied in the world of
men's and women's fashions, including formal, casual and leisure
wear, as well as accessories, jewellery, hair styles and make-up.
As both a dip-in reference and stylish resource, How to Read
Fashion equips you with the visual vocabulary to understand,
investigate and interpret styles.

'I've long wished perfumery to be taken seriously as an art, and
for scent critics to be as fierce as opera critics, and for the
wearers of certain "fragrances" to be hissed in public, while
others are cheered. This year has brought Perfumes: The Guide by
Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, which I breathed in, rather than
read, in one delighted gulp.' Hilary Mantel, Guardian Perfumes: The
Guide is the culmination of Turin's lifelong obsession and rare
scientific flair and Sanchez's stylish and devoted blogging about
every scent that she's ever loved and loathed. Together they make a
fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of
perfume-making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this
honest, compelling or downright entertaining.

Elvis Style is a celebration of the aesthetic world of Elvis
Presley. As one of the most significant pop icons of the 20th
century, Elvis' impact on the music world has been widely discussed
and analysed. Surprisingly, however, his influence on design and
fashion remains largely overlooked. Elvis Style investigates why
Elvis was, and continues to be, an icon of style, focusing on his
wonderfully expressive hairstyles, clothes, cars, and interiors.
Elvis Style offers the reader an intriguing and insightful journey
though the crazy, cool and at times kitsch world of a true
megastar. Contemporary design experts have been interviewed to
offer fresh insights into Elvis' style choices. These include Sex
and the City stylist Patricia Fields, costume designer Deborah
Nadoolman Landis (Michael Jackson's Thriller) Oscar-winning costume
designer Mark Bridges (The Artist), the British celebrity
hairdresser Trevor Sorbie, Andy Lecompte (Madonna's hairstylist),
Savile Row tailor Edward Sexton, Andy Spade (Jack Spade and Kate
Spade brands) academics from the University of Mississippi, the
Victoria & Albert Museum, George Barris (creator of the
Bat-mobile and Elvis' personal car-customiser) and Hal Lansky of
Lansky Brothers (Elvis' favourite tailoring house) who has also
provided the foreword for Elvis Style. Elvis Style includes around
150 photos, many of which are full colour and show rarely seen
before Elvis-worn garments, interiors and cars from Elvis'
extensive private collection.
Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with
this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the
bestselling authors of Ikigai. 'Ikigai urges individuals to
simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them' (Marie
'' Kondo) Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let
it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese
phrase ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is
unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed
to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or
'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus
on the present moment. From this age-old concept comes a new kind
of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use
all five senses to anchor yourself in the present. Every one of us
contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with
others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie. 'This is a
great little book to lift the spirits and remind us of the
importance of living in the 'now', not worrying about the past or
future.' - 5* Reader Review 'This book should act as a wakeup call.
Make each now a sacred moment. Pay attention! Make each moment
special!' - 5* Reader Review 'The authors of Ikigai have offered
another brief and masterful addition for those seeking out a
simpler and more fulfilling life.' - 5* Reader Review

Douglas, editor in chief, Wallpaper magazine There is a new wave of
