Award-winning fashion designer Samuele Mazza invited respected artists and designers from around the world to turn their attention to the common brassiere and submit pieces for an exhibition. The results are amazing: flamboyant, outrageous, and beautiful creations, flights of fancy, and numerous visual puns. Brahaus is a truly original look at one of the most charged icons in the history of fashion.
A discussion of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) and language learning, aimed at researchers and practitioners in the field. It deals with developments in Europe, with the majority of the chapters focusing on the results of collaborative international projects.
A spectacular companion to Brahaus, Cinderella's Revenge pays tribute to footwear's form and function beyond even themost ardent shoe fetishist's wildest imaginings. Over 200 striking, full-colour photographs fill this fanciful collection, showcasing the ingenious fabrications of some of Europe's most talented artists and designers. Initially created for an Italian exhibition, these shoe-inspired works of original art have been constructed from such unlikely materials as latex, marble, chrome, glass, cigarettes, and feathers. From a pair of antique pumps swathed, Christo-like, in ivory fabric, to tow-ering platform shoes rendered in shiny metal, the objets d'art in Cinderella's Revenge offer a walk on the wild side for lovers of innovative fashion and design.

Designed by Luca Stoppini, art director of the Italian edition of "Vogue," this book presents the original, multicoloured, extravagant and transgressive fashion universe of Moschino using a decade of scintillating and often provocative shop windows.
