A.F. Vandevorst Ende Neu. Mode.
Hannibal Kannibaal, 2018 Hardback, 280x200mm, 592 pages Illustrated. English edition. *VERY Fine ! ISBN 9789492677259.
¶ Voor het eerst in twintig jaar brengen An Vandevorst en Filip Arickx, samen het ontwerpersduo A.F. Vandevorst, een overzichtsboek uit dat een bijzondere inkijk biedt in hun opwindende universum. Leder, fetisj en strakke uniformen, maar ook kitsch, kunst en sensuele plooien? De wereld van A.F. Vandevorst is eindeloos rijk. In 1987 ontmoeten An Vandevorst en Filip Arickx elkaar op de Antwerpse Academie voor Schone Kunsten. Tien jaar later richten ze hun eigen modelabel op en tonen ze hun eerste collectie in Parijs. Nauw verwant aan de Antwerpse Zes groeiden ze intussen uit tot Belgies meest edgy designerduo met internationale erkenning tot in Rusland en werkten ze samen met de groten der aarde, onder wie de flamboyante hoedenontwerper Stephen Jones. De esthetiek van A.F. Vandevorst is het resultaat van hun sterke liefde voor de beeldende kunst, muziek en literatuur en hun grote interesse in culturele archetypes. Dit boek focust op hun uiteenlopende inspiratiebronnen, zoals Joseph Beuys, de militaire en medische wereld, het uniform en Japan. Ook de invloed van muzikant Blixa Bargeld (Einsturzende Neubauten/Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) is sterk aanwezig in hun artistieke filosofie. Op een intuitieve manier biedt deze publicatie een bijzonder inspirerende blik op de fascinerende wereld van A.F. Vandevorst. Laat u onderdompelen in twintig jaar grenzeloze passie voor mode en kunst. A fascinating insight into the stimulating universe of Belgium's cult fashion designer duo A.F.Vandevorst. A universe of fetishes, fur, leather, sensual folds and tight straitjackets? That is what Belgian fashion designers A.F.Vandevorst stand for. This publication celebrates their twentieth anniversary. An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx met in 1987, on their first day of school at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Ten years later, they set up their company Blixa and presented their first collection as A.F.Vandevorst in Paris. They have collaborated with such people as the flamboyant and worldfamous hat designer Stephen Jones and have grown to become one of Belgium's most edgy cult designers, closely connected to the Antwerp Six (Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Walter Van Beirendonck). A.F.Vandevorst's aesthetics are the result of their strong love for the visual arts, music and literature and of their great interest in cultural archetypes. This book focuses on their diverse inspirations, including Joseph Beuys, the military and the medical scene, and other artists An and Filip feel strongly connected to. Among them is Blixa Bargeld (Einstu'rzende Neubauten), who was the sourceof their first company's name and has been a big inspiration ever since. This book gives an intimate, very exciting and stimulating insight into the fascinating world of A.F.Vandevorst. Be inspired by twenty years of limitless passion for fashion. With an introduction by Alix Browne and contributions by a.o. Dries Van Noten, Dirk Braeckman, Tim Blanks, Blixa Bargeld, Hannelore Knuts, Sally Singer, Linda Loppa, Suzy Menkes.

ALAÏA Azzedine Alaïa in de 21ste Eeuw.
Groninger Museum, 2012 HB, 354 x 275 mm, 224 pages, throughout colour illustrations. NL edition. nieuwstaat! ISBN 9789085866206.
¶ In het Groninger Museum zal dit najaar een expositie te zien zijn van de werken die couturier Azzedine Alaïa het afgelopen decennium gemaakt heeft. Alaïa werd geboren op 7 juni 1940 in Siliana in Tunesië. Sinds 1957 is hij actief met het ontwerpen van kleding. Vanaf de tachtiger jaren is hij erg bekend. Sterren als Naomi Campbell, Madonna, Shakira, Tina Turner en Michelle Obama dragen zijn kleding. Op de tentoonstelling zullen creaties te zien zijn die hij de afgelopen tien jaar heeft vervaardigd. Het is niet de eerste keer dat het Groninger Museum aandacht besteedt aan de werken van Alaïa. In 1998 werd er ook al eens een overzichtstentoonstelling rondom de mode-ontwerper gepresenteerd. From 11 December 2011 to 6 May 2012, the Groninger Museum will present the exhibition entitled Azzedine Ala'a 2001 - 2011. This exhibition displays the most fantastic Alaïa fashion creations of the last ten years. Alaïa is one of the last major couturiers still active. His range of clothing has received great acclaim from celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour, Victoria Beckham, Shakira and Michelle Obama. The exhibition is a follow-on to the overview of his work shown in the Groninger Museum in 1998, which was subsequently displayed at the Brandt Foundation in New York in 2002. Tunisian-born Azzedine Alaïa is one of the most important fashion designers of the last decades. The name Alaïa stands for glamour, sensuality, style, cut, self-confidence, comfort and, of course, sex appeal. His tight dresses embrace the bodies of the world's most seductive and successful women, from Tina Turner and Michelle Obama to Madonna.

World of Coco Chanel. Friends, Fashion, Fame
Thames and Hudson, 2005 Hardcover, bound with dustjacket, 383pp., 20.5x26.5cm., lavishly illustr.in col. and b/w., very good copy. ISBN 9780500512166.
¶ Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel is an icon of fashion, and can lay claim to having invented the look of the 20th century. At the height of the Belle Epoque, she stripped women of their corsets and feathers, bobbed their hair, put them in bathing suits and sent them out to get tanned in the sun. She introduced the little black dress; trousers for women; costume jewelry; the exquisitely comfortable suit that became her trademark. Early in the Roaring Twenties, Chanel made the first ever couture perfume - No. 5 - presenting it in the famous little square-cut flagon that, inspired by Picasso and Cubism, became the arch symbol of the Art Deco style. No. 5 remains the most popular scent ever created. Chanel knew instinctively that the road to success lay in being absolutely at one with her own time. And what a time! The era of Picasso, Diaghilev, Stravinsky, Cocteau, Jean Renoir, Visconti - all of whom 'Coco' knew and collaborated with, even as she matched their modernist innovations by liberating women from the prison of 19th-century fashion and creating a whole new concept of elegance. Chanel went everywhere and knew everyone and, as this sumptuously illustrated volume clearly shows, her life and accomplishment - even her chronic failure in love - constitute one of the great stories of the modern age. Her life is eminently suited to the lavish visual treatment of this handsome volume, which features more than 600 illustrations from an extraordinary collection amassed over the years by Edmonde Charles-Roux, Chanel's official biographer and close friend. An authoritative and practised writer, Charles-Roux has used careful research and vivid eyewitness accounts to set the pictures in their context of time and place. She makes Chanel live again!.
