Lolita
- The history and evolution of one of the most celebrated female archetypes: Lolita- Lolita incarnates the ancient myth of youth, that undeniable cult of our era, which continues to hold sway over millions of women around the world Lolita: on the cusp between fashion and cinema, childhood and adolescence, capriciousness and sensuality... The figure of the 'Lolita' embodies one of the most fascinating, but at the same time one of the most ambiguous aspects of femininity. She is womanhood in transit: the passage from childhood to adolescence, from the infantile non-sexual being to the teenager's first manifestations of fascination. While almost all girls experience this transformation, only a ...
Ladies' Haircults
Women's hairstyles have changed dramatically over the past century. Charting the progression from styles dictated by fashion and tradition towards more unique and individualised looks, this book explores how the history of women's hair in the west corresponds with their liberation over the course of the 1900s. Refined illustrations, era-specific photographs, and contemporary images tell the story of the hairstyles and fashion trends that flourished between 1940 and 1980, as well as those in vogue today. The volume closes with a section dedicated to the most famous hairstylists and salons de coiffeur, past and present.
Barber Couture
A revival is now under way of the aesthetic deriving from the fashions of the 20th century's youth cultures and subcultures. The period in which these trends were distinguished by political or social connotations has now come to an end, and it is simply the stylistic elements that are dominant today: reworked, improved and hybridized to develop an innovative aesthetic canon with evident historical roots in the pop culture with which to identify and, above all, be identified. The impetus comes from the young and not so young men of the 21st century, affluent, carefree travellers, professionally fulfilled, vain, hedonistic and sexually uninhibited.

Deconstructing Dreamscapes of Femininity
This book explores the cognitive inter-dynamics of two overarching dimensions of human consciousness, referred to as This World and The Otherworld, respectively. Together, these dimensions may create, for any developing girl, a more-or-less unique experience of the archetype referred to here as Lolita, in the Mist. This “mist” may be a vital detail of Lolita imagery for an individual girl feeling protected enough to explore her budding sexuality in This World that is conjured, to a significant degree, through The Otherworld dimension. Indeed, such imagery may be a part of what dreaming experienced in waking life is made of. The book will be of interest to scholars and other researchers interested in how visual and social perceptual processes, principally through film imagery, might create a more phenomenological experience of the archetype through the interplay between This World and The Otherworld, as each exists within all of us.
Bob Dylan Play Book
Beginning with rockabilly, moving on to folk music, sliding over to electric, and falling into a psychedelic phase, like a chameleon Bob Dylan has changed his skin repeatedly over the years, juggling his image with apparent ease and subverting the prevailing social and aesthetic models each time. His Supro guitar and the leather jacket - reminiscent of James Dean; the muse of his hobo period Suze Rotolo and his legendary Triumph Bonneville; the Newport Jazz Festival and the Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village: artist Matteo Guarnaccia has documented this pilgrimage of styles stage by stage, year by year, with a wealth of detail. The clothes, faces, music and places of those years become subjects to colour in, paper-dolls to dress, and board games to assemble, while the characters of his songs provide the members of a colorful circus. This is the ultimate collector's activity-book to be approached with glue, scissors and coloring pencils, dedicated to all the fans of the legendary singer-songwriter.

Avanzi d'Io

Nel cercare di riprendere il senso di un qualcosa che le scivola via dalle mani, si trova a dover fronteggiare anche un drammatico incidente che coinvolgerà una persona a lei molto cara, rendendole ancora più indefinita la vita sotto i suoi passi.
