Thierry Mugler
Muscular and macho, a mystery behind his signature shades, Mugler has always loved to shock. In his teen years, Mugler was a dancer at the Ballet du Rhin, which inspired his passion for movement and theatrical effect. At the same time, he was a student at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs which developed his knowledge of design. At twenty he got a job at Gudule, the first of Strasbourg's "swinging" boutiques, and two years later was working as a freelancer for couturiers in Paris, Milan, and London. In 1973 he created his first independant collection that was the first intimation of the super-cool, ultra-feminine style that was to become his own. Whether she manifests herself as an astronaut, ro...

Vienna 1900
"At the start of the 20th century, more than fifty artists gathered in Vienna with varying ideas but a common determination: to be free of the bourgeois morality and its obsolete traditions. The Vienna Secession, founded in 1897, would shape a distinctive form of art in Vienna and all over the world. Gustav Klimt, Richard Strauss, Otto Wagner, Sigmund Freud, Egon Schiele, and others all sought ways to break with the classicism of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on its decline. In his atmosphere of artistic, intellectual, and political effervescence, a new world was born."--Sitio web del editor.
The Allure of Women
The Allure of Women highlights our era's most well-known icons, women recognized all over the world for their style and elegance. Chic, natural and elegant, these women are captured in lavish photographs and compelling text, making The Allure of Women impossible to put down. Author Fran�ois Baudot, one of France's leading fashion and style specialists, also invites you to discover lesser-known women of allure, envied and emulated in their own societies in the same way super models are in ours.
The Allure of Men
From the frock coats of Gainsborough's portraits to the city workers' two-piece suits, the structure of men's clothing after 1800 seemed to favor uniformity over variety. But a closer look reveals that the language of this uniformity is actually subtly varied in its details--in the cut, proportion and material. Though individually these different elements are almost imperceptible, each makes a vital contribution to the intangible notion of style. This book juxtaposes paintings and photographs of celebrities and lesser-known figures dating back almost two centuries, whose different silhouettes, when placed alongside one another, encapsulate a shared idea of modern elegance and concern with style.

A Century of Fashion
Fashion is challenged and transformed by the trends of each decade. Throughout the 20th century it has constantly evolved and been through a series of revolutions in taste. In this work, Francois Baudot guides the reader through 100 years of fashion in all its manifestations: ready-to-wear clothing, haute couture, accessories and lifestyle, to name just a few. He shows how they are inextricably linked to the development of industrialized societies, their customs, desires and the evolution of commercial techniques in Europe and the USA.
Fashion and Surrealism
Fashion and the Surrealist movement have had numerous affinities from the outset of the latter. "Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all," André Breton declared in the thirties, a maxim that could serve as a motto for the world of haute couture. And fashion, the stuff of its creators' dreams, often is surreal in the true sense of the word: a shoe turned into a woman's hat, a glove with claw-like gold fingernails, a lobster dress... The Surrealists picked bourgeois fashion apart at the seams and gave it a taste for scandale. Today, the genius of Salvador Dali, Max Ernst and René Magritte continues to influence great coutiers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, John Galliano and Serge Lutens.
