Gucci: The Art of Silk tells the story of the House's extraordinary silk scarves, the first title of its kind to do so. Given exclusive access to the Gucci archives, located in a fifteenth-century Florentine palazzo, the book charts an unusual history of this iconic accessory, from its inception as a gift to Princess Grace of Monaco to its revivals by a succession of Gucci creative directors, namely Tom Ford, Frida Giannini, Alessandro Michele, and Sabato de Sarno.
In these pages, readers will discover how the scarves have at times made and mirrored the fortunes of the House itself: how the Gucci family aspired to be modern Medicis; the impact of Renaissance Florence; the continuum of craft and creativity-with never-before-seen imagery inside Gucci's ateliers; the power of celebrity and aristocracy (from Harry Styles to HRH Queen Elizabeth II); and the role of contemporary art, highlighted here through a first-look preview of the latest Gucci silk scarf project, «90x90,» nine limited-edition scarves from nine cutting-edge artists.
The book's slipcase and cover feature Gucci's most famous print, the «Flora,» which contains forty-three varieties of flowers, plants, and insects in thirty-seven different colors, all painted entirely by hand and inspired by Botticelli's Allegory of Spring.
Lavishly illustrated throughout, with reportage in Florence, Milan, and Como, Gucci: The Art of Silk tells a sumptuous visual tale of silk scarves, together with the people who have made them and the people who have worn them-and one that explains why these scarves have become some of the fashion world's most iconic accessories. -
La Grande Guerre ; le pouvoir d'influence de la photographie

Ce livre présente un point de vue différent, révélant les "coulisses" censurées de la Grande Guerre comparées aux photos officielles La Première Guerre mondiale est souvent considérée comme une « guerre de la photographie ». Si la photographie a servi à documenter d'autres guerres dans le passé, ce conflit marquera un tournant décisif pour ce moyen d'expression. Les photographies officielles reflètent la planification, la censure et un constant besoin de rallier l'opinion publique à la cause.
Parallèlement, la Triple Entente et la Triple Alliance choisiront de faire de la photographie un instrument de stratégie, d'espionnage, de provocation et de persuasion. L'importance de l'utilisation de l'appareil photographique pour un usage personnel contraste avec son utilisation politique et militariste. Les populaires portraits en studio des soldats et des membres de leur famille et les albums personnels composés avant, pendant et après la guerre qui témoignent de ces vies menacées montrent l'importance indéniable de la photographie dans l'espace privé. Cette exposition présente une sélection exceptionnelle de photographies issues de collections nationales et internationales afin d'illustrer les rôles clés que la photographie a été appelée à jouer durant la guerre.

In the 1960s, British jewellery underwent a revolution. Natural, uncut stones exploded into vogue and a 1961 exhibition at the Goldsmith's Hall kickstarted the nation's new obsession with gold. The women who shopped at Quant's Bazaar and Hulaniki's Biba no longer just received jewellery as gifts. They placed their own orders, exploring Grima's drizzled gold and Flockinger's fused metallic experimentations; John Donald's textured gold cubes and the House of Munsteiner's curious new gem cuts. This was an era of innovation - captured here through insights into the work of 25 major jewellers and sumptuous pictures of their work.
This book introduces the most influential British designers, jewellers, goldsmiths and silversmiths of 1960-1980. Tracing the evolution of style across these decades, Modern British Jewellery Designers reveals the designers' inspirations and the identifying signatures of their work. Accompanied by new photography showing each designer's creations, this is the perfect introduction for anyone with an interest in collecting, or learning more about this transformative period in British jewellery design.
