Libros de Ornamentación, página 2 de 9

El primer libro que muestra joyas contemporáneas de pasarela y alta costura. Una incursión sin precedentes en los métodos de trabajo y las fuentes de inspiración de toda una nueva generación de diseñadores de joyas. Con entrevistas entre bastidores a diseñadores establecidos y emergentes. Probablemente no es casualidad que en los periodos regidos sobre todo por la economia, la joyeria se haya considerado como la forma perfecta para rejuvenecer nuestros armarios sin necesidad de vaciar nuestros bolsillos. Nunca antes la joyeria habia gozado de tal prominencia; pero es precisamente en el campo del diseño de moda contemporaneo donde el diseño de joyeria esta experimentando la transformacion mas extraordinaria. Despues de varias temporadas de bolsos exclusivos y zapatos fabulosos, la joyeria de diseño ha seducido nuestra imaginacion dando lugar a una nueva concepcion del adorno: las joyas salpican las paginas de las revistas, marcan los canones del estilo y alimentan debates sobre las ventajas esteticas de llevar las joyas adecuadas. Una magnifica obra con impresionantes fotografias que incluye diversas colaboraciones con diseñadores y marcas de moda de primer nivel como Sauvin, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen y Comme des Garçons, ademas de diferentes colecciones para importantes empresas de moda como Colette o 10 Corso Como.
