Lär dig sy kläder och accessoarer med grunden i våra svenska folkdräkter – att sy på traditionellt folkligt vis skiljer sig från samtida klädsömnad. Konstruktionerna är enkla och vackra och de hantverksmässiga sömnadsteknikerna passar alla. Istället för att projekten utgår från fasta storlekar och mönster tar du mått på din egen kropp och skapar plagg som sitter perfekt på just dig. Med utgångspunkt i grundmodellerna kan du sedan tillföra detaljer som är specifika för just din bygd. Eller så syr du dig en helt unik garderob med moderna kläder inspirerade av dåtidens uttryck och tekniker. Bland klädprojekten hittar du kjolar, särkar, klänningar och liv, och bland accessoarerna finns kepsar, vantar, hängslen och muddar.
Lina Odell möjliggör med boken ett fritt skapande utan regler, ett samtida folkligt dräktskick – att bära hur du vill, när du vill och till vad du vill. Folkdräktskulturen idag är omgärdad av många värderingar och starka åsikter om vad som är rätt och fel, men här går vi loss och leker med färg och folklig form på ett inkluderande vis – för hur ska folkdräkten kunna fortsätta vara relevant om reglerna dödar skaparglädjen? Så tveka inte, bara kasta dig ut i ett färgglatt folkdräktshav.
Lina Odell är utbildad inom såväl modern sömnad och mönsterkonstruktion som folklig sömnad och skrädderi. Hon driver sitt företag KRUSA, arbetar som textillärare på Blekinge folkhögskola och är en flitigt anlitad föredragshållare och kursledare. 2021 blev hon först i Sverige med att ta gesällbrev i dräktsömnadsyrket. Hennes skapande rör sig fritt mellan konst, traditionsbunden slöjd och nyskapande, alltid med en grund i Sveriges rika textila folkliga tradition.

The classic book on the art and history of weaving--now expanded and in full color Written by one of the twentieth century's leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand. With her focus on materials and handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter, as well as illuminating examples of her own work.Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving updates the book's original black-and-white illustrations with full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T'ai Smith that shed critical light on Albers and her career.

An engaging survey from the Middle Ages to the present, presenting fashion as a complex process that reflects economic, social, and political changesThis engaging volume tells the history of Western fashion, exploring how and why it has influenced people’s attitudes, actions, and beliefs since the Middle Ages. Back in Fashion focuses on themes specific to particular periods—such as the significance of medieval sumptuary laws that limited expenditure on clothing; the use of black in early modern Europe; the role of sports on clothing in contemporary times; and the rise of luxury in the new millennium. Author Giorgio Riello investigates how fashion has shaped and continues to characterize Western societies, impacting the lives of millions of people and their relationship to the economy and politics. Making a masterful case for why fashion history demands academic consideration on par with other more traditional histories, Riello presents fashion as a complex and constantly evolving force that not only reflects but drives cultural transformation.

'Elsa Schiaparelli was more than a dressmaker; she was an image maker.' - Daniel Roseberry Elsa Schiaparelli sent shockwaves through the fashion establishment with her witty, ingenious and artful designs. Lauded by Cristobal Balenciaga as the 'only real artist in couture' she infused her collections with Surrealism, and collaborated on pieces with contemporaries from the art world, including Man Ray, Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dali and Alberto Giacometti. Her garments still look fresh today and, though provocative at the time, were eminently wearable, attracting many society and celebrity clients. She caused a stir at Wimbledon by sending Lili Alvarez to the 1931 tennis tournament in culottes; she clothed Amy Johnson for her first solo flight to Cape Town; her lobster dress made it into Wallis Simpson's trousseau, and she counted as fans Lauren Bacall, Marlene Dietrich and Josephine Baker. Her designs appeared on the stage in productions by Ivor Novello, Noeel Coward and Jean-Paul Sartre, and she costumed over 30 films. Today, Elsa's visual vocabulary runs through Daniel Roseberry's designs for Maison Schiaparelli like a shocking pink thread. This lavishly illustrated book explores the origins and legacy of one of fashion's greatest innovators.

The first comprehensive overview of Ralph Lauren’s womenswear collections, from their 1972 debut to today, presented through original catwalk photography. With 2.5 million copies in print, each cloth-bound volume in the official and authorized Catwalk series is produced in close collaboration with the world's top fashion houses. These treasure troves of inspiration are must-have references for all fashion fans and professionals. Ralph Lauren debuted his first women's runway collection for Fall 1972 with a show that made his mark instantly, highlighting his exquisite tailoring and uncanny ability to mix opposites elegantly. Taking inspiration from New England’s rusticity, the West’s natural beauty and Hollywood’s glamour, Lauren's designs are a gold-standard for timeless American style with panache. This book celebrates more than 50 years of Lauren's creations, which have garnered many awards, made him a much-loved global brand and influenced the way women dress all over the world. Ralph Lauren famously launched his menswear business in 1967 with an audacious tie collection, taken up by Bloomingdale’s, from which his Polo brand quickly developed. This became, and has remained ever since, a benchmark for polished tailoring with rugged utility. With his dual collections of 1972, Lauren began his rise in the world of women’s fashion; fourteen years later he opened his first Paris store on Place de la Madeleine, an affirmation of his ranking with the world’s most famed couturiers. His consistent desire to create ‘a way of dressing that redefines the meaning of timelessness’ has made his label a by-word for luxury and class – as one critic said, Ralph Lauren ‘made it possible to use the words slinky and tweed in the same sentence without risking ridicule’. Complete with an introduction, designer biography and collection texts by Bridget Foley, this book offers a unique opportunity to explore the work of a great American couturier and creator of one of the world’s most celebrated fashion houses.

Fashion and creative director Sunita Kumar Nair presents Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion, which pays homage to the style icon’s timeless, distinguished beauty, and legacy in the first book of its kind. Foreword by Gabriela Hearst, award-winning designer to First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris Preface by Edward Enninful, OBE, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue Long blonde hair, an iconic red lip, and effortless style—all signatures of fashion icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Carolyn used fashion as her medium. She hadn’t found her voice yet in front of the camera as Mrs. Kennedy, so she let her fashion speak to the world for her. With her attention to detail, strict color palette, and unique, unidentifiable looks with the brand labels deliberately removed, she was the essence of class—no label would ever define her. She didn’t choose to abide by the typical patrician standard expected from a woman of her position who had married into a family dynasty; instead, she did the unexpected and wore her revolutionary clothes with aplomb, confidence, and grace. Featuring spectacular photography and design, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion gathers the greats in the fashion world to speak of her timeless style and presents never-before-published personal anecdotes from friends and family, including such fashion luminaries as Graydon Carter, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Manolo Blahnik, Wes Gordon, Tory Burch, and Samira Nasr. This book is the ultimate commemoration of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s style, fashion code, and the impact she left behind nearly two decades later. Includes Color Images

How Japan adopted and ultimately revived traditional American fashion "A fascinating cultural history." -PeopleA strange thing has happened over the last two decades: the world has come to believe that the most "authentic" American garments are those made in Japan. From high-end denim to oxford button-downs, Japanese brands such as UNIQLO, Kamakura Shirts, Beams, and Kapital have built their global businesses by creating the highest-quality versions of classic American casual garments-a style known in Japan as ametora, or "American traditional."In Ametora, cultural historian W. David Marx traces the Japanese assimilation of American fashion over the past 150 years. Now updated with a new afterword covering the last decade, Ametora shows how Japanese trendsetters and entrepreneurs mimicked, adapted, imported, and ultimately perfected American style, dramatically reshaping not only Japan's culture but also our own.

Dressing the Man is the definitive guide to what men need to know in order to dress well and look stylish without becoming fashion victims. Alan Flusser's name is synonymous with taste and style. With his new book, he combines his encyclopedic knowledge of men's clothes with his signature wit and elegance to address the fundamental paradox of modern men's fashion: Why, after men today have spent more money on clothes than in any other period of history, are there fewer well-dressed men than at any time ever before? According to Flusser, dressing well is not all that difficult, the real challenge lies in being able to acquire the right personalized instruction. Dressing well pivots on two pillars -- proportion and color. Flusser believes that "Permanent Fashionability," both his promise and goal for the reader, starts by being accountable to a personal set of physical trademarks and not to any kind of random, seasonally served-up collection of fashion flashes. Unlike fashion, which is obliged to change each season, the face's shape, the neck's height, the shoulder's width, the arm's length, the torso's structure, and the foot's size remain fairly constant over time.Once a man learns how to adapt the fundamentals of permanent fashion to his physique and complexion, he's halfway home. Taking the reader through each major clothing classification step-by-step, this user-friendly guide helps you apply your own specifics to a series of dressing options, from business casual and formalwear to pattern-on-pattern coordination, or how to choose the most flattering clothing silhouette for your body type and shirt collar for your face. A man's physical traits represent his individual road map, and the quickest route toward forging an enduring style of dress is through exposure to the legendary practitioners of this rare masculine art. Flusser has assembled the largest andmost diverse collection of stylishly mantled men ever found in one book. Many never-before-seen vintage photographs from the era of Cary Grant, Tyrone Power, and Fred Astaire are employed to help illustrate the range and diversity of authentic men's fashion. Dressing the Man's sheer magnitude of options will enable the reader to expand both the grammar and verbiage of his permanent-fashion vocabulary.For those men hoping to find sartorial fulfillment somewhere down the road, tethering their journey to the mind-set of permanent fashion will deliver them earlier rather than later in life.

'Marie Antoinette' - the very name conjures up a vibrant pastel-coloured world of excess, filled with satin shoes, rustling silks, gravity-defying hairstyles, decadent macarons, delicious intrigue and then, of course, bloody Revolution.This ground-breaking volume first reconstructs the life and style of the captivating yet tragic Marie Antoinette - married at 14, queen at 18 and guillotined at 37 - from the intimate apartments she lived in to the scent she wore, the trends she led and the complexities of French court life. The authors draw on contemporary accounts, interiors, letters, portraits and the tantalisingly few personal possessions that remain, her shoes and fans, and fragments of cloth from her dresses. But Marie Antoinette has remained influential long beyond her death in 1793. The book uncovers how the ill-fated Queen of France has provided a constant source of inspiration to the worlds of design, fashion, film and decorative arts - from nineteenth-century fancy dress balls, to Art Deco illustration, to the couture of John Galliano for Dior and the sumptuous movie by Sofia Coppola. It considers afresh the legacy of a complex and mis-understood figure whose style, youth and notoriety have contributed to her timeless appeal.

It was a scene that had many names: some original members referred to themselves as punks, others, new romantics, new wavers, the bats or the morbids. 'Goth' did not gain lexical currency until the late 1980s. But no matter what term was used, 'postpunk' encompasses all the incarnations of the 1980s alternative movement. Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace is a visual and oral history of the first decade of the scene. Featuring interviews with both the performers and the audience to capture the community on and off stage, the book places personal snapshots alongside professional photography to reveal a unique range of fashions, bands and scenes.A book about the music, the individual and the creativity of a worldwide community rather than theoretical definitions of a subculture, Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace considers a subject not often covered by academic books. Whether you were part of the scene or are just fascinated by different modes of expression, this book will transport you to another time and place.

Boken om Textiltraditioner har sitt ursprung genom ett omfattande textilarv från flera socknar i norra Västmanland. Inventeringar som genomfördes redan under 1700-talet i Västerfärnebo, och senare i Fläckebo och Möklinta socknar runt Sala ger omfattande bevis för detta unika förhållande i vårt land. Textiltraditionerna i Västmanland är därmed både historiskt gamla och omfattande. De bygger på ett genuint omfattande hantverkskunnande som många kvinnor svarat för genom åren. Bokens innehåll baseras på såväl tidigare kända fakta som flera okända källor och berättelser samt underlag från lokalt textilkunniga personer varav många aktiva i de vävstugor som alltjämt finns i Västmanlands län. En del av dessa gamla textilier finns numera i Färnebostugans Textilmuseum vid Gammelgården i Västerfärnebo samt vid Länsmuseets WestmannaArvet i Hallstahammar och på Nordiska museet i Stockholm. I boken framgår att textiltraditionerna verkligen lever vidare vid den verksamhet som bedrivs vid flera vävstugor i norra Västmanland. Ett intressant inslag är Harakers Hembygdsförening som uppmärksammat textiltraditioner från Kättsta Linnefabrik under 1700-talet. Kyrkbåt med människor i folkdräkter och man tänker på kyrkrodden över Siljan men det finns även en kyrkbåt i Västmanland. Boken avslutas med en omfattande källförteckning. Referenser och källor utgörs av ett omfattande underlag från pressklipp, tidskrifter, jubileumsskrifter och litteratur från slutet av 1800-talet fram till år 2024. Författare till boken är Anders Fläcke som varit ordförande i Västerfärnebo Hembygdsförening och vice ordförande i Västmanlands Hembygdsförbund. Han har under många år haft ett geniunt intresse för vårt kulturav inom byggnader, möbler, föremål och textilier. Han värnar även om den svenska flodkräftans bevarande. Anders Fläcke har tidigare tillsammans med Owe Eriksson skrivit boken, Hörnsjöfors Bruk och Västerfärenbo – en berättesle om bruket och bygdens historia under ett halvt årtusende. Boken om Textiltraditioner ger en intressant bild av vårt textila kulturarv, som till vissa delar lever vidare i Västmanland. Den omfattar 230 sidor med många färgbilder i ett större format.

London may have Savile Row and Paris its luxury houses, but nowhere can compete with the essence of Italy’s nonchalant elegance: sprezzatura.

From such fabled names as Rubinacci and Kiton to highly sought-after global brands like Zegna, more than fifty iconic Italian menswear houses are featured for their individual style and commitment to upholding the values of quality and timelessness. Featuring lavish photographs, with close-ups of subtle, exquisite details, most taken specially for this publication, The Italian Gentleman explores the world behind the finished garments – the ateliers and hidden shops where legends are born.

The first book to chart the unprecedented history of Nike’s iconic football boots, from the evolution of their design to the legendary stars who have worn them Football (or soccer) is surrounded by a particular mythology. As the world’s most popular sport, its players and iconic performances have become part of public consciousness – and so have the boots that footballers wear.Nike Football Boots charts the history of the brand’s football journey, from the all-black leather boots introduced in the early 70s – the first of any shoe to feature the famous swoosh – to the present day, through four key product lines that encapsulate Nike’s design ethos: Tiempo, Mercurial, Total 90, and Phantom. Along the way, readers will discover stories behind the boots worn by football’s greatest names, including Brazilian striker Ronaldo, Portuguese phenom Cristiano Ronaldo, US Women’s National Team star Megan Rapinoe, and emerging French icon Kylian Mbappé, among others.Lavishly illustrated with 500 images, Nike Football Boots showcases boot close-ups, on-feet shots, concepts, posters and advertising, film screenshots, material swatches, sketches, prototypes and ephemera from the Department of Nike Archives (DNA). A 12-page glossy insert displays every model of boot highlighted in the DNA, from 1971 to today. This visual homage to the sport is also an engaging read: celebrated author Caleb Azumah Nelson sets the scene for each chapter, discussing how the culture and style of the decade influenced each boot’s design, while historian Thomas Turner delves deep into the technical innovations that made each boot so successful. An introduction by curator Eleanor Watson puts football design more globally into context. Perfectly timed with the kick-off of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Nike Football Boots is an essential volume for football fans of all stripes.

"Boken är faktiskt omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig med sina bilder och personliga inspel." Jack Lukkerz, BTJ
Jonas Hallberg är den spralliga, crazy killen med tatueringarna och de exklusiva solglasögonen som vunnit tv-publikens hjärtan i Top Model, Fångarna på fortet och Let s Dance. Han är en av världens mest framgångsrika stylister och har jobbat med alla stora namn från nittiotalets supermodeller, som Naomi Campbell och Cindy Crawford, till Hollywoodstjärnor som Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Diaz, Susan Sarandon och Sharon Stone, popfenomenet Taylor Swift och tv-drottningen Kris Jenner. Glitter och glamour är hans signum. Hans stilkänsla och drivkraft tog honom till toppen.
Men parallellt med sagan om Jonas spektakulära karriär löper en mörk berättelse om att växa upp som mobbad och utsatt i skuggan av missbruk. Om att försöka hitta sin egen väg i livet, men om och om igen dras in i medberoende, destruktivt beteende och gränslösa relationer. Här berättar Jonas för första gången den brutala sanningen om sitt livs stora sorg, sexmissbruket och ångesten.
Den dramatiska resan går via Café Opera i Stockholm till Londons modevecka, en bastuklubb i Los Angeles, ett mordförsök i Mexiko och tillbaka till Köping, där allting började.
Bakom mina solglasögon är en chockerande ärlig, gripande och rolig självbiografi. Spänn fast säkerhetsbältet och häng med på en vild åktur!
ÅSA BROLIN är en erfaren journalist och översättare som älskar populärkultur och liksom Jonas bodde i London halva nittiotalet (då kände de dock inte varandra). Hon jobbade på flera olika redaktioner inom Bonnier News innan hon sa upp sig för att översätta böcker på heltid. En av de mer uppmärksammade gavs ut 2024 - Neneh Cherrys självbiografi Tusen trådar. Det här är Åsas första uppdrag som författare i kändisbiografigenren.
