This intoxicating and visually rich volume with texts by experts
from India, Europe, and North America is published to accompany a
major exhibition that celebrates the long historical contributions
that Indian dress, textiles, and embroidery have had on Western
fashion. From the introduction of chintz dressmaking fabrics in the
eighteenth century to the early nineteenth-century vogue for light
Indian fabrics, paisleys, and chikan embroideries to larger
realities of empire and cultural appropriation, this volume
features paintings, fashion magazine editorials, and portraits of
influential people who championed Indian style throughout history.
Traditional hues of brilliant royal blue, marigold, and fuchsia;
intricate ikat and calico patterns; and sumptuous textiles enliven
every page. Archival and contemporary fashion stories include
kaleidoscopic images by photographers such as Henry Clarke in
Udaipur in 1967, Arthur Elgort in Jaipur in 1999, and Mikael
Jansson in Goa with Indian actress Lakshmi Menon in 2011.
Traditional Indian embroidery techniques; design motifs; and dress
forms such as saris, jodhpurs, and turbans are reimagined by
renowned designers Paul Poiret, Elsa Schiaparelli, Pierre Balmain,
Zandra Rhodes, Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta,
Gianni Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Alexander McQueen, in
addition to a wealth of contemporary Indian designers.

Capturing the romance and beauty of la dolce vita, this volume
features intimate and rare moments of Veruschka, the iconic face of
1960s glamour, from the forgotten and unpublished photographic
archive of Johnny Moncada. When fashion photographer Johnny Moncada
unlocked a trunk he had left sealed for forty years, he and his
daughter discovered ten thousand of his unpublished negatives. They
revealed the world of 1960s Italian fashion in all its languid
glamour, personified by the iconic Veruschka. In three thousand
images, Moncada captured the German-born model in both beautifully
staged and informal poses. A selection of these photographs is
presented in this lavish volume. They were taken over the course of
a year in Rome, including seaside shoots in Capri, Sardinia, and
other locales of la dolce vita. While serving as an invaluable
source of inspiration to aficionados of 1960s style, Moncada's work
also presents a rare glimpse of a young woman, known to friends as
Vera, transforming in front of the camera into the image of
perfection that we know as Veruschka.

As testified by the monumental success of the recent Dior
retrospective curated by the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris,
'Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams', which attracted over 700,000
visitors over its extended run, John Galliano's creations for the
house of Dior have entered fashion history and are widely
recognized as some of the most breathtaking and imaginative
collections ever created. John Galliano for Dior is the first
publication entirely dedicated to showcasing these unforgettable
designs, which have become collectors' items and form a key chapter
of the history of the house of Dior - 'the greatest house in the
world', as Galliano stated when he was first placed at its helm. 'I
see myself as a guardian of [Christian Dior's] spirit, a keeper of
his dreams,' he added. The book unfolds chronologically, revisiting
the most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen
behind-the-scenes moments that capture models, hairdressers,
stylists, make-up artists and John Galliano himself at their most
creative. Robert Fairer's stunning and high-energy photographs
convey the drama, glamour and wild imagination that defined
Galliano's Dior shows. A treasure trove of inspiration, they make
this publication a must-have reference for fashion and photography
lovers alike.
