Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

Step into the captivating world of 20th-century fashion with this comprehensive guide that takes you on a sartorial journey through a century of style and innovation. From the flappers of the Roaring Twenties to the mod style of the Swinging Sixties, from the grunge aesthetic of the Nineties to the athleisure movement of the new millennium, this book delves into the trends, designers, and cultural forces that shaped the fashion landscape.

More than just a catalog of clothing and accessories, this book explores the profound impact fashion has had on our lives. It examines how fashion has been used as a tool for self-expression, a means of protest, and a symbol of empowerment for marginalized communities. It also investigates the relationship between fashion and other cultural domains, such as film, music, and art, showcasing how these creative fields have influenced and inspired one another.

With insightful analysis and vibrant illustrations, this book brings to life the iconic designers who revolutionized the way we dress. Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, and Alexander McQueen—these are just a few of the visionaries whose creativity and innovation left an indelible mark on the fashion world. Their designs transcended the realm of mere clothing; they became symbols of liberation, individuality, and cultural change.

This book is not just a history of fashion; it is a celebration of the transformative power of style. It is an invitation to explore the ways in which fashion reflects and shapes our world, and to understand the enduring impact it has on our lives. Whether you are a fashion aficionado, a student of history, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and significance of clothing, this book is an essential read.

We're Falling Through Space -...

J. David Reed

It's one of modern history's most beloved sci-fi creations and while the Doctor is revered world-round, what about their companions, friends and acquaintances along the way? For all the time travel and extravagant alien worlds, Doctor Who is often at its best when it looks to you, the average viewer, and how the lives and values of us human beings are actually spectacular.
The cup of tea or coffee we make in the morning, the relationships we carry and lose in life, the routines we love and hate, the vinegar-soaked chippies we have at night – they might look mundane against the spectacle of the Doctor but what if it's us, the humans, who are the fantastical ones?
In We're Falling Through Space, J. David Reed investigates how Doctor Who uses its larger-than-life lens to consider how the mundane is a lot more special than we might realise. As one of the Doctors put it, 'Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.'

Swimming with the Blowfish -...

Jim Sonefeld

The ultimate front-row seat to Hootie & the Blowfish and Jim “Soni" Sonefeld’s breathtaking path from addiction to recovery. 
 
For a time, there was no bigger band in the world than Hootie & the Blowfish—rock & roll’s unexpected foil to the grunge music that dominated the early ’90s airwaves. Jim Sonefeld, drummer and one of the group’s principal songwriters,  
reveals their humble beginnings, meteoric rise, Grammy Award–winning musicianship, sudden fall, and ultimate rebirth—and opens his heart to readers about addiction, recovery, and faith. 
 
Hootie’s debut album Cracked Rear View was one of the bestselling in the history of rock music. It saturated radio airwaves, television, and culture, and placed the quartet at the center of the American music conversation—for better and for  
worse. Though Jim enjoyed the perks that came with fame—the parties, the relationships, the money, the drugs and alcohol—eventually it all became a camouflage that hid a deeper spiritual malady. As his life careened toward  
disaster, he sought relief in twelve-step recovery, eventually devoting himself to a loving but by no means uncomplicated home life. 
 
Swimming with the Blowfish is an unpretentious, emotional story of one man’s spiritual path to a more fruitful life. Jim’s journey is staggering and redeeming, and ultimately as comforting as your favorite flannel shirt.

Twentieth Century Seaside...

Kathryn Ferry

A nostalgic exploration of Britain's distinctive and architecturally significant seafront buildings from the 1920s to the new millennium.
British seaside resorts enjoyed phenomenal popularity for much of the twentieth century. Told chronologically, this book is the first look at how resort architecture around the UK coast kept pace with changing fashions and the increasing competition of foreign destinations.
Using vintage postcard images, Kathryn Ferry showcases the inherent playfulness of seaside architecture as it evolved from interwar classicism, through art deco and international modernism, to Festival of Britain-inspired mid-century style, then later to seafront tower blocks and the artificial beaches of 1970s leisure centres. Featuring a wide range of building types, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture explores everything from beach huts and bandstands to lidos, piers, theatres, hotels and amusement arcades.
As climate change and the soaring cost of living provoke changing attitudes to travel, Britain's seaside has witnessed renewed popularity, making now the perfect time to champion our architectural legacy of domestic tourism. Offering a compelling reassessment, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture will appeal to fans of architecture and design who love to be beside the sea.
