¿Por que, en cuestiones de moda, tambien es válida la máxima Spain is different? ¿Cómo superó el país su complejo de inferioridad frente a la poderosa Francia? ¿Cuándo empezó a hablarse de moda española? ¿Que han aportado los grandes creadores patrios?Este libro no es un manual de estilo ni una guia de tendencias. Es una historia de España y de los españoles bajo el prisma del vestir. Arranca en tiempos de Alfonso XIII, cuando la moda era solo cosa de ricos, y finaliza en pleno siglo XXI, cuando ya lo es de todos. Y, por el camino, la moda se moderniza con la Segunda Republica, se paraliza con la guerra, se mutila con el franquismo, se democratiza con la Transicion, se libera con la Movida madrileña y se globaliza con el nuevo milenio hasta ser virtual y efimera como Internet.Este ameno y riguroso trabajo de Laura Manzanera cubre de la alta costura al pret-a-porter; de la "A" del almidon de las enaguas a la "Z" de Zara, la marca española que ha conquistado el planeta. De los miriñaques a la minifalda, del delantal al traje chaqueta, de las enaguas a los pantalones, de la mantilla al top, de la bata de boatine al chandal, del corse al tanga. Un viaje en el tiempo y un espejo en que mirarnos para descubrir como hemos cambiado por fuera y por dentro.a

The landmark volume celebrating the life and work of Ralph Lauren, now available in a smaller, more portable edition. Unlike many designers, Ralph Lauren is not known for a single signature look, but rather for his sweeping dreams of American living. Over the course of his career, the images of luxury, adventure, and beauty that he created have come to define American style. In this visually stunning book, Lauren speaks candidly about himself and his art. In part one, we get to know the designer through never-before-seen pictures of him in private life and with his family, living the lives he designs for. In his own words, we hear about his life, work, and inspiration. In the second part, Lauren displays and writes about his most important, most iconic, and most beloved work, hand-picked from hundreds of runway shows, collections, and his signature cinematic advertising campaigns. Lauren's aesthetic influence and unique design sensibility are captured here by fashion's finest photographers, including Bruce Weber, Deborah Turbeville, and Patrick Demarchelier. Now available to a larger audience at a more accessible price, this unique fashion monograph is a personal expression of the artist and a rare peek into the mind of one of America's most accomplished fashion designers of all times.

About the Fashion Fairy Tale Memoir SeriesEach book in this inspired series by fashion writer Camilla Morton inventively reimagines one of our favorite "Once Upon a Time" stories, blending it with the real-life story of a famed fashion designer. Lushly illustrated by the designers themselves, these tales illuminate each iconic individual's creative magic while celebrating his unique life and career. The result is an intriguing combination of whimsy and memoir.In this contemporary twist on the tale of the Elves and the Shoemaker, Manolo Blahnik's delightful drawings evoke the past, envision the future, and, of course, evidence the indelible footprint he's made on fashion history. His illustrations take us from the banana plantations of his childhood to his current reign at the top of high-fashion footwear design, while playfully hinting at all the adventures he's had and friends he's met along the way.
