CHARBON
Entering the intimacy of the alternative Parisian scene, CHARBON portrays a new generation of artists: authors, photographers, illustrators, performers, musicians, poets. “My muses may not be yours, my monsters may not please you.” They all let their thoughts drift away during nights, performances, conversations, and art.

Daoism, Dandyism, and Political Correctness
How would Zhuangzi, a Chinese philosopher who lived in the fourth century BCE, have reacted to the recent linguistic reforms commonly referred to as "political correctness"? Zhuangzi was a language skeptic, which means that he did not believe that language could convey the true meanings of the world. Might Zhuangzi have argued that political correctness creates but a dream world made of rules, policies, and words—no more real than when he "dreamt he was a butterfly"? Written in a provocative tone, this book looks at political correctness through the lens of ancient Chinese philosophy, as well as through Brummell's and Wilde's aesthetic philosophy of dandyism. Several scholars have establis...
L'Arte dell’Eleganza
In un mondo dove il settore dell’abbigliamento è ormai dominato dal fast fashion che propina solo cliché a basso costo, ha ancora senso parlare di eleganza? E di eleganza classica maschile? Questo libro, attraverso una serie di domande di difficoltà crescente e la presentazione di cinque “profili” inediti, guida il lettore nel mondo dello stile e dell’eleganza classica maschile, con particolare focus sull’esperienza dell’Alta Sartoria su misura. Le 1.000 domande contenute nel libro (suddivise in 100 schede) toccano tutti gli argomenti legati alla cultura del ben vestire e alle passioni dell’uomo elegante, a cominciare dai capi di abbigliamento - abito, giacca, camicia, con p...

The Dandy at Dusk
Philip Mann chronicles the relationship of dandyism and the emerging cultural landscape of modernity via portraits of Regency England's Beau Brummel – the first dandy – and six twentieth-century figures: Austrian architect Adolf Loos, the Duke of Windsor, neo-Edwardian courtier Bunny Roger, writer and raconteur Quentin Crisp, French film producer Jean-Pierre Melville, and New German Cinema enfant terrible and inverted dandy Rainer Werner Fassbinder. He blends memorable anecdotes with acute analysis to explore their style, identity and influence and interweaves their stories with an entertaining history of tailoring and men's fashion. The Dandy at Dusk contextualizes the relationship between dandyism, decadence and modernism, against the background of a century punctuated by global conflict and social upheaval.
Here in Avalon
An “enchanting” (Caroline Kepnes, author of You) New York City fairy tale about two sisters that fall under the spell of an underworld cabaret troupe that might be a dangerous cult—but one that makes the materialist world left in its wake feel like a sinister cult itself. Rose has come a long way. Raised—and often neglected—by a wayward mother in New York City’s chaotic bohemia, Rose has finally built the life she’s always wanted: a good job at a self-help startup, a clean apartment, an engagement to a stable if self-satisfied tech CEO who shares her faith in human potential, hard work, and the sacrifice of childish dreams. Rose’s sister Cecilia, on the other hand, never grew...
Dandysmes
De l'origine de ce mouvement, le dandysmenous interpelle lorsqu'il refl�te un mode devie diff�rent o� le para�tre n'est plusfrivole, mais profond et extr�mement contagieux.On retrouve alors cette recherche d'unesophistication radicale, d'une nouvelle noblessed'�me. Le dandy contemporain est redevenu unr�volutionnaire par sa seule existence. Ce livre n'apas la pr�tention d'�tre d�finitif ! Qu'on veuille leprendre comme un modeste apport aux essais dugenre, un autre point de vue, ou tout simplementune promenade de certaines �l�gances auxexcentricit�s d'aujourd'hui.
I ragazzi di von Gloeden
L’arrivo a Taormina nel 1878 del barone tedesco omosessuale Wilhelm von Gloeden è stato considerato l’inizio del turismo moderno della località siciliana. La relazione tra il fotografo e la comunità locale, al di là degli stereotipi e rappresentazioni tendenti a mitizzare gli anni tra la fine dell’Ottocento e gli inizi del Novecento, è stata molto più complessa, presentandosi per un verso come la colonizzazione, persino dei corpi adolescenti, da parte degli stranieri omosessuali nei confronti dei ragazzi siciliani; per un altro come l’incorporazione da parte dei locali di modelli culturali “altri” per un uso rovesciato del potere economico e sociale. Non una vicenda di cost...
