Anna Wintour - Böcker

The leading design authority for the last century, AD under Astley is more popular and far-reaching than ever before, featuring a wide range of styles and tastemakers and helping to personalize interior design for us all. This book showcases highly original interiors and the personality and creativity of the bold-faced names who live in them. Spanning the worlds of fashion, music, film, art, and design, the people inhabiting these pages come from around the globe, showing us there are so many ways to create a beautiful home. The interiors encompass different milieus and styles, from city to country, classical to bohemian, modern to old world, including art-filled urban lofts and classic townhouses as well as country estates and tropical getaways. Astley takes us on a personal tour through some of her favorite homes photographed for the magazine, going deeper and showing previously unpublished images. From actor Dakota Johnson s relaxed indoor-outdoor mid-century modern house in Los Angeles to producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes s classically elegant New York City apartment, each of these carefully considered spaces reflects the personality and lifestyle of the people who live there. Artist Mariko Mori is shown in her minimalist white pod on a Japanese island, performer RuPaul poses in his glamorously over-the-top Los Angeles villa, and Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz show us the personal side of their strikingly modern home, inviting us into their art-filled living room. With beautiful photography by AD s top photographers, and thoughtful, illuminating texts by Astley and her team of editors on what makes each of these interiors so special, this volume is a celebratory tour de force of design and personal expression.

In their February 2021 issue, Vogue launched The United States of Fashion, a project that shines a spotlight on the creativity and craft flourishing throughout the country. Exploring the innovation and entrepreneurialism that defines American fashion, Vogue goes coast to coast from Detroit to El Paso to Indianapolis to Nashville, where the most exciting new designers are creating and designing locally. This book features a wide array of fashion voices across the nation, who share self-generated images and narratives on how they define and identify with fashion now. New, never-before-seen photographs and anecdotes, not published in the pages of Vogue, come from fashion designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte, Jeremy Scott, and Libertine; photographers Alex Webb and June Canedo; and craftspeople Ariana Boussard-Reifel and Ataumbi Metals. The book contains texts by esteemed writers, from Louise Erdrich's words on Native American fashion and music editor Suzy Exposito's account of being goth in Miami, to new ways of creating sustainable, recycled fashion. These accounts create a living biography of the evolution and democratization of fashion today. A rich tapestry of style in America, The United States of Fashion will appeal to readers interested in fashion, design, culture, and photography.

Romantic and poetic, yet edgy, bold, and contemporary, Erdem s creations have captivated the global fashion scene for two decades. Taking inspiration for his collections largely from women rebels who lived just as they wanted to, Erdem has fashioned a universe where his deep love and appreciation for the past is seamlessly joined with a passion for the here and now. Renowned soprano Maria Callas; Dame Edith Sitwell, a Bloomsbury satellite; Princess Orietta Doria Pamphilj, a descendant of Pope Innocent X; and the LGBTQ writer Radclyffe Hall are only a few examples of the women whose life stories have been spun into the fabric of Erdem s collections. Evidence of his love of deep research, the book contains many archival items related to his collections that have been photographed especially for this book. Signature floral dresses and organza gowns displayed alongside the personalities and objects that helped inspire them bring to life the material world of the muse and Erdem s inventiveness in translating stories into textile form. His designs have established him as a favorite among fashion insiders, celebrities, and royalty. A wardrobe of wonders, this much-anticipated book looks at the genius behind one of the most celebrated, independent houses of fashion s twenty-first century. A series of essays by renowned fashion voices illuminate the designer s process, craft, and inspirations and complete this highly personal volume.
