Received First Prize in the 2005 American Association of Museums Publications Design Competition Since prehistoric times, furs and feathers have been used not only for warmth and protection but also for display and adornment. Offering lively insights into the decorative possibilities of pelts and plumes, WILD: Fashion Untamed examines furs ability to announce the wealth and status of the wearer by looking at the clothing of Renaissance aristocrats as well as that of contemporary Hip-Hop performers such as P. Diddy and Missy Elliott. WILD also examines how pelts and plumes have come to define ideals of femininity by quoting the physical and sexual characteristics of birds and beasts. Examples include an unprecedented array of designs by Azzedine Alaia, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce and Gabbana, John Galliano for Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, Thierry Mugler, and Yohji Yamamoto. The book also features fantastical feathered costumes of Las Vegas showgirls and coquettish birds of paradise creations by milliners Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy. Lavishly illustrated and entertainingly written, WILD reveals how faunal apparel, whether in the form of pelts, plumes, prints, or animal symbolism, has represented and will continue to represent one of mans more primal instincts. Andrew Bolton is the Associate Curator of the Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

FINANCIAL TIMES''Immaculate.'' NEW STATESMAN''Phenomenal.'' PROSPECT''A heroic rehabilitation.'' THE TIMESPaul Gauguin is chiefly known as the giant of post-Impressionist painting whose bold colours and compositions rocked the Western art world. It is less well known that he was a stockbroker in Paris and that after the 1882 financial crash he struggled to sustain his artistry, and worked as a tarpaulin salesman in Copenhagen, a canal digger in Panama City, and a journalist exposing the injustices of French colonial rule in Tahiti.In Wild Thing, the award-winning biographer Sue Prideaux re-examines the adventurous and complicated life of the artist. She illuminates the people, places and ideas that shaped his vision: his privileged upbringing in Peru and rebellious youth in France; the galvanising energy of the Paris art scene; meeting Mette, the woman who he would marry; formative encounters with Vincent van Gogh and August Strindberg; and the ceaseless draw of French Polynesia.Prideaux conjures Gauguins visual exuberance, his creative epiphanies, his fierce words and his flaws with acuity and sensitivity. Drawing from a wealth of new material and access to the artists family, this myth-busting work invites us to see Gauguin anew.

En un mundo cada vez más saturado y conectado, este libro celebra la necesidad de desconectar y regresar a lo esencial: la naturaleza. A través de una selección de viviendas únicas en entornos remotos, muestra como la arquitectura puede integrarse en paisajes salvajes sin dominarlos. Desde cabinas en bosques hasta casas sobre rocas y estructuras que desafian los vientos en acantilados, cada proyecto refleja un equilibrio entre diseño, sostenibilidad y respeto por el entorno. Estas viviendas, muchas de ellas off-grid, utilizan tecnologias como placas solares y sistemas de captacion de agua de lluvia, demostrando que la autosuficiencia puede ser inspiradora y funcional. Mas alla de la arquitectura, este libro es un viaje al significado profundo de habitar. Invita a explorar como estas construcciones redefinen nuestra conexion con lo salvaje, reconciliando el diseño moderno con la simplicidad, la audacia y lo sublime de la naturaleza.
