"One fine morning I woke up and decided that I was no longer happy with my physique. Although I was overweight, I had gotten along fine and had no health problems. But I suddenly wanted to dress differently, to wear clothes designed by Hedi Slimane….But these fashions, modeled by very, very slim boys—and not men of my age—required me to lose at least eighty pounds....I did not think that it was possible to lose so much weight in one year....[But] in fact, it took me exactly thirteen months." —Karl Lagerfeld "Karl Lagerfeld’s case is spectacular as it shows how it is possible, through determination and willpower, to return to a harmonious balance even when excess weight is of a long...

What do Mark Twain, David Beckham, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Mother Teresa have in common? All have been enthusiastic fans of homeopathy, the alternative medical tradition that treats “like with like.” Homeopathy has an incredible history of support by many of the most respected people of the past 200 years, and modern science is finally catching up. In The Homeopathic Revolution, Dana Ullman blends vivid personal stories and quotes from these and other luminaries from a variety of eras and fields with a new definition of homeopathy as “nanopharmacology”–one that will help people, including skeptics, start to understand its value. After explaining why conventional medicine is inade...

Rebecca Harrington leaves no cabbage soup unstirred in I'll Have What She's Having, her wickedly funny, wildly absurd quest to diet like the stars. Elizabeth Taylor mixed cottage cheese and sour cream; Madonna subsisted on 'sea vegetables' and Marilyn Monroe drank raw eggs whipped with warm milk. Where there is a Hollywood starlet offering nutritional advice, there is a diet Rebecca Harrington is willing to try. Facing a harrowing mix of fainting spells, pimples and salmonella, Harrington tracks down illegal haggis to imitate Pippa Middleton, paces her apartment until the wee hours drinking ten Diet Cokes à la Karl Lagerfeld, and attempts something forbiddingly known as the 'Salt Water Flush' to channel her inner Beyoncé. Rebecca Harrington risks kitchen fires and mysterious face rashes, all in the name of diet journalism. Taking cues from noted beauty icons like Posh Spice (alkaline!), Sophia Loren (pasta!) and Cameron Diaz (savory oatmeal!), I'll Have What She's Having is completely surprising, occasionally unappetising, and always outrageously funny.
Karl Lagerfeldnek (1933–2019) nemcsak a megjelenése volt egyedi, hanem az életútja is. A kifutók császára, a divat nagyatyja egész életében álarcok mögé bújt, s bár való igaz, hogy olykor felfedni látszott néhány titkát, valójában mindig is misztikus köd övezte. Ahogyan ő fogalmazott: „Olyan akarok lenni, mint egy látomás. Felbukkanok és eltűnök.” Vajon milyen ember rejtőzött a világ leghíresebb napszemüvege mögött? Milyen múltja volt az örök jelen időben létező ikonikus alaknak? A kötet szerzője, Laurent Allen-Caron újságíró az „Egy nap, egy sors” című műsor számára készített, Karl Lagerfeldről szóló, 12 részes „Lenni és látszani” című dokumentumfilm-sorozat ötletgazdája és rendezője. Az Allen-Caron általa készített riportokban Lagerfeld barátai, ismerősei és munkatársai mesélnek a divattervező pályafutásáról és arról a férfiről, akinek álmait, vágyait Párizs testesítette meg, ahol azzá a minden részletében megkomponált, jellegzetes figurává vált, akit világszerte ismerünk.
For hundreds of years consumers and scholars have acknowledged that food is affected by the same rapid shifts in taste and consumption as clothing. Trends in fashion and in food are increasingly being marketed in tandem and sold as fashionable commodities to reinforce capitalist power. Yet despite this, the reciprocal relationship between fashion and food has not been fully explored – until now. Gastrofashion from Haute Cuisine to Haute Couture examines the relationship between food and fashion in clothing, style, and dress in all its manifestations, from the restaurant to the catwalk, to cookbooks, diet fads, slow food, fast fashion, celebrity chefs, artists, and musical performers. It tr...
