Sinopse

Couture Hidden Costs explores the fascinating economics behind haute couture, revealing why these exclusive garments command such high prices. Beyond the obvious costs of materials and labor, the book uncovers the hidden investments in brand prestige, skilled craftsmanship, and the carefully cultivated system of exclusivity that supports this unique industry. Did you know that haute couture's origins can be traced back to 19th-century Paris, designed for an exclusive clientele, and that today, only a select few houses recognized by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture can officially claim that title? The book argues that understanding the economics of couture provides broader insights into luxury markets and aspirational consumption.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, linking design with business strategy, cultural history, and economics, making it valuable for students, luxury brand managers, and anyone interested in exclusive industries. It begins by tracing the evolution of haute couture and then examines the economic mechanisms that sustain it, such as how couture houses use ready-to-wear lines and accessories to offset costs. The book culminates in an analysis of haute couture's future in a rapidly changing global economy, addressing ongoing debates about inclusivity and sustainability.

    Women Holding Things

    From the critically acclaimed artist, designer, and author of the bestsellers The Principles of Uncertainty and My Favorite Things comes a wondrous collection of words that is a moving meditation on the beauty and complexity of women’s lives and roles, revealed in the things they hold. 
“What do women hold? The home and the family. And the children and the food. The friendships. The work. The work of the world. And the work of being human. The memories. And the troubles. And the sorrows and the triumphs. And the love.” 
In the spring of 2021, Maira and Alex Kalman created a small, limited-edition booklet “Women Holding Things,” which featured select recent paintings by Maira, accompanied by her insightful and deeply personal commentary. The booklet quickly sold out. Now, the Kalmans have expanded that original publication into this extraordinary compendium. 
Women Holding Things includes thoughtful and intimate anecdotes, recollections, and ruminations about portraits of women, both ordinary and famous, including Virginia Woolf, Sally Hemings, Hortense Cezanne, Gertrude Stein, as well as Kalman’s family members and other real-life people. These women hold a range of objects, from the mundane—balloons, a cup, a whisk, a chicken, a hat—to the abstract—dreams and disappointments, sorrow and regret, joy and love. 
Kalman considers the many things that fit physically and metaphorically between women’s hands: We see a woman hold a book, hold shears, hold children, hold a grudge, hold up, hold her own. In telling their stories, Kalman lays bare the essence of women’s lives—their tenacity, courage, vulnerability, hope, and pain. Ultimately, she reveals that many of the things we hold dear—as well as those that burden or haunt us—remain constant and connect us from generation to generation. 
Here, too, are mentions of a few men holding things, such as Rainer Maria Rilke and Anton Chekhov, as well as objects holding other objects that invite us to ponder their intimate relationships to one another. 
Women Holding Things explores the significance of the objects we carry—in our hands, hearts, and minds—and speaks to, and for, all of us. Maira Kalman’s unique work is a celebration of life, of the act and the art of living, offering an original way of examining and understanding all that is important in our world—and ultimately within ourselves.
