Dior - A New Look

Fashion experts take a fresh look at more than 40 Dior creations and talk about the creators, wearers, technology, conservation, publicity, and important women for Dior. Christian Dior himself led his fashion House, founded in 1947, for only 10 years, but conquered the world in that short time. The designers who followed in his footsteps, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and now Maria Grazia Chiuri, remained true to his Dior DNA. The New Look, the Dior line, Dior’s love of flowers and, of course, the Dior Dream are covered.
Maria Grazia Chiuri, [ ] the first female chief designer for Dior, is known for her feminism and the stage she offers to female artists. Dutch photographer Viviane Sassen was therefore asked to create a photo series focusing on work by Christian Dior and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Maria Grazia Chiuri considers herself “a curator of ideas”. The photo series, in which her work enters into a dialogue with Christian Dior’s, shows what this means to her.

typo* - A Scrapbook of Typographic Obsession

*typo (noun): an error (as of spelling) in typed or typeset material; (abbr.) typography or typographer
Author: Andy Altmann
Designer Andy Altmann has been pursuing an obsession with typographic oddities for more than 30 years; and he’s not necessarily interested in the kind of thing you might expect. He delights in the weird and wonderful and finds inspiration in the ordinary. At last, he has organised his typographic hits and misses in a 400-page, whopper of a scrapbook. Conceived and edited by Andy, typo* is a cornucopia of curiosities.
Between its covers you’ll find everything from Swiss minimalism to Victorian street signs, from soap packets to magazine covers, from high art to the handmade. Essential is too small a word for this book: every graphic designer and typographer should have a copy. Keep it by the keyboard or refer to it secretly when stuck for an idea, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Interpreting the Ripper Letters
- Missed Clues & Reflections on Victorian Society -

In the autumn of 1888, a series of grisly murders took place in Whitechapel in London’s East End, the Abyss, the Ghetto, the City of Eternal Night. The Whitechapel murderer, arguably the first of his kind, was never caught but the killings gave rise to the best known pen-name in criminal history – Jack the Ripper.
The Whitechapel killer was terrifyingly real but Jack was the creation of Fleet Street, the gallows humour of a newspaper hack whose sole aim in life was to sell newspapers. And where the ‘Dear Boss’ letter, with its ‘trade name’ signature led, thousands followed.
This book is not about the world’s first serial killer but about the sick, the perverted, the twisted souls who put pen to paper purporting to be the killer or suggested ever more lurid ways in which he could be caught. Innocent men were put in the frame by Victorian trouble-makers who would be perfectly at home with today’s Internet trolls, pointing cruel fingers in almost perfect anonymity.
The book takes the lid off Victorian mindsets, exposing a dark and unnatural place as topsy-turvy as that inhabited by the killer himself.

World-Changing Women
- 150 Women who rewrote the Histories of Ancient Egypt, Israel, Greece and Rome -

Countless books have been written about prominent women in Greece and Rome, so we know all about Medea, Sappho, Lucretia, Boudica and Cleopatra and their significant actions and achievements. This book extends the invaluable story of women in early history to pre-classical civilisations, ancient Egypt and Israel to include prominent women in those civilisations as well, thus introducing them, and their roles and places in their respective societies and social histories, to a wide audience.
The aim of this book is to demonstrate how 150 women (most little known) significantly influenced, informed and changed the worlds in which they lived. The book reinforces the reputations of those who have endured popularity over the centuries and, where necessary, realigns those reputations after years of prejudice and the vicissitudes of sexism, misogyny, Hollywood and sensationalist literature. For those who have been written out of mainstream history and relegated to footnotes at best, this is a chance to re-introduce them and the impact they have made on their and our world. Their relative anonymity does not mean that they are less important - on the contrary, they are equally significant and the more we know about them, the better if we want a rounded picture of the civilisations to which they contributed so much.

'At the end of the day, it isn't where I come from. Maybe home is somewhere I'm going and never have been before.' -- #WarsanShire Quality, originality and daring - these three words sum up what 'Belgian' stands for overseas when we're talking about interior design. There are no stark or beige homes here, no minimalism. Here is an array of colours, rich fabrics, unusual yet always successful combinations of styles and periods; there is even a good dose of kitsch to be found - such as stuffed animals. Interiors included come from the likes of Geoffroy Van Hulle, Lionel Jadot, Gerald Watelet and Jean-Philippe Demeyer. The texts are concise, personal and informative, based on interviews with the people living in these homes. Text in English, French and Dutch. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Journalist Thijs Demeulemeester specialises in design, interiors, fashion and photography. He writes on these subjects in magazines such as Weekend Knack, Sabato (in De Tijd) and Trends. For more than 20 years Diane Hendrikx has been a much sought after interior and food photographer with quality magazines such as Weekend Knack and Nest. She is the woman behind the photos in many Luster books including 'Living in Antwerp' and 'Belgian Designers and Their Interiors'. ECCENTRIC HOMES is available now from Peribo!
