A gorgeously illustrated exploration of the history, culture, and
design process of the famed fashion house Chanel Chanel: The Making
of a Collection traces the design process of the world-renowned
fashion house, revealing how a collection is created. Moving from
the studio to the fashion show, fashion writer Laetitia Ce nac has
unprecedented access to explore a world that is usually carefully
guarded from the public eye. With hundreds of beautifully rendered
fashion illustrations from acclaimed artist Jean-Philippe Delhomme,
Karl Lagerfeld's approach to design is brought to life, as are the
talents of the masterfully skilled artisans-the embroiderers,
flower makers, shoemakers, hat makers, and more-who specialize in
everything from buttons and leather to lace, silk, and cashmere.
Delving into the history and culture of the brand, while also
detailing contemporary collections, Chanel: The Making of a
Collection is a richly visual insider's look at the enduring
creative legacy of this haute couture icon.
Villa Savoye is an icon of modern architecture. But who were
Eugénie and Pierre Savoye, who had the house built between 1928
and 1930? Why did they commission Le Corbusier? And how did they
live in the country house they dubbed "Villa les Heures Claires"?
Their grandson Jean-Marc Savoye tells the story of the villa and
its residents using rare documents and family memories. In his
pictures, illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme – long fascinated by
the building – brings to life the construction site, everyday
life, the war period, its use as a barn, and its rescue from
demolition. In 1965, Le Corbusier lived to see Villa Savoye
declared a monument; in 2016 it earned a spot on the UNESCO World
Heritage list and now welcomes 40,000 visitors each year.
Die Villa Savoye ist eine Ikone der modernen Architektur. Wer aber
waren Eugenie und Pierre Savoye, die das Haus bauen liessen? Warum
beauftragten sie Le Corbusier? Und wie lebten sie? Der Enkel
Jean-Marc Savoye erzahlt die Geschichte der Villa und der Bewohner
anhand von Dokumenten und Familienerinnerungen. Jean-Philippe
Delhomme illustriert die Baustelle, den Alltag, die Kriegszeit, die
Nutzung als Scheune und die Rettung vor dem Abriss.
