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.

What do Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Prince Charles, and Boy George have in common? These and other sharply dressed, sexually secure, 21st-century men are incorporating skirts into their wardrobes. In this provocative, one-of-a-kind book, Andrew Bolton traces the warrior origins of kilts and sarongs and reveals how, far from feminizing men, skirts actually reinforce their virility. Some 150 photographs illustrate this colorful salute to the growing numbers of the few, if proud, men in skirts.

The book focuses on the work of innovative designers whose approach to supermodern clothing fuses high style and 21st-century technology. They have all appropriated ideas and materials which were previously on the margins of fashion - such as those used in high-performance sportswear and riot gear - to address the challenges of the urban environment. Their clothes are functional and adapted to the public spaces of the supermodern world: supermarkets, airports, motorways - and the street. They are designed to anticipate all contingencies, offering protection and security in an increasingly alien urban environment. Sections cover concepts such as multiple functionality, mobility, shelter, protection, identity and super-invisibility featuring the work of designers such as CP Company, who have produced a jacket with a built-in anti-smog mask, Vexed Generation whose parkas disguise the identity of the wearer and act as urban armour, Mandarina Duck who have devised a camouflage system for the street, and Levi's who have produced a range of jackets equipped with fully integrated communications systems. With its stylish page design and lively commentary, this is a book that will appeal to all lovers of fashion, radial design and innovation....

Before he found fame as the father of Pop Art, Andy Warhol was an accomplished advertising illustrator and commercial artist for fashion tastemakers such as Barneys, Neiman Marcus, I. Miller, Glamour, Mademoiselle, and Harpers Bazaar. This delicately beautiful, colorfully playful, and hugely influential fashion illustration work from the 1950s has never before been collected in a book. A pop object in itself, Andy Warhol Fashion is a fun and gorgeous gallery of hundreds of his most delightful images. These witty drawings -- fanciful shoes, chic hats, smart suits, and perfect accessories to match -- showcase his unique ability to find inspiration in the everyday and elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. Sprinkled with Warhols perceptively funny observations (When you think about it, department stores are kind of like museums.), and a reflection on Warhols influence in the fashion world by Simon Doonan, Andy Warhol Fashion is a must-have acquisition for anyone with style.

Ante la loca carrera emprendida por las multinacionales de la belleza en busca de lociones, cremas y píldoras que prometen conservar la juventud, contrasta la actitud de quienes abogan por una cosmética basada en principios naturales. Incluso existe un informe avalado por prestigiosos cientificos que advierte la ausencia de pruebas concluyentes sobre el efecto que los liposomas y otras cremas revolucionarias a base de vitaminas puedan tener sobre nuestra piel, y termina por afirmar que los mejores cutis del mundo son los de los esquimales y los de las monjas de clausura. Femenino singular. La belleza a traves de la historia, muestra como este deseo por detener el reloj en todo lo tocante al aspecto personal no es algo nuevo y como desde epocas remotas hombres y mujeres de distintas culturas buscan con ahinco el elixir de la eterna juventud. Angela Bravo desvela los secretos y trucos que Salome, Cleopatra, la emperatriz Sissy, etc., utilizaban para conservar su belleza y nos enseña a preparar una serie de productos que, a lo largo de los siglos y en distintas culturas, han servido para cuidar el cutis, el cabello, las manos, etc.
