The first comprehensive overview of Chloe's collections presented
through catwalk photography, published in collaboration with Chloe
to celebrate the house's 70th anniversary in 2022. Founded by
Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion in 1952, Chloe pioneered luxury
ready-to-wear that was all about ease and femininity, offering an
elegant haute bohemian style for the modern, liberated Parisienne.
Resolutely contemporary, the house spotted and hired a young Karl
Lagerfeld as early as the 1960s: he stayed for over two decades,
achieving fame and recognition worldwide through his Chloe work,
before Stella McCartney (and her then assistant Phoebe Philo)
succeeded him straight out of fashion school. This definitive
publication opens with a concise history of the house of Chloe
before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized
chronologically. Each new era in Chloe's history opens with a brief
overview and biography of the new designer, while individual
collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their
influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated
catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive
index, concludes the book. After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves
Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood and Versace, Chloe is the
eighth in a series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer an
unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion
houses through original catwalk photography.
Celebrating the centennial of Saul Leiter’s birth, the official
retrospective of a revolutionary figure in twentieth-century
photography. Saul Leiter photographed and painted nearly every day
for over sixty years, amassing an enormous archive, most of which
remained unseen during his lifetime. Finding inspiration within a
few blocks of his apartment in Lower Manhattan, he was a master at
discovering beauty in the most ordinary places. Celebrated today
for his evocative colour photographs of New York in the 1950s and
1960s, which were unknown in their day, Leiter also found success
as a fashion photographer for Harper’s Bazaar. All the while he
was shooting black-and-white street scenes on his daily walks, and
nudes and intimate portraits back home, while continuing his
painting explorations with abstract watercolours, whimsical
sketchbooks and painted photographs. Created in collaboration with
the Saul Leiter Foundation, this definitive monograph brings
together these diverse yet interconnected bodies of work –
including much that was previously unpublished – to reveal the
complete artist for the first time.
The essays and interviews in this book – published in conjunction
with the exhibition Echo -Â explore the personal, universal
and tactile memories of baby, child and motherhood, aging and
nostalgia, handmaking and repair, and both the physical and
emotional memories of clothing. The book features precious
childhood drawings by designers Martin Margiela, Christian Lacroix,
Mikio Sakabe, Bernhard Willhelm, Simone Rocha, Jean Paul Gaultier,
amongst others. Alongside contemporary art and fashion, Echo
sheds a unique light on the idea of the private, domestic, and
quotidian by including ‘imperfect’ garments from the MoMu
Collection: garments that reveal the presence of their previous
wearers, that tell stories of a life lived, of scars, sweat, tears,
and joy.
