The first book to chart a visual history of women's sportswear, and the key role that Nike has played in it over the last 50 years
This is a book about Nike sportswear and what it means to women. The garments women wear, and why they wear them. It's about athletes, from the elite to the aspiring amateur, running marathons or running errands. It's about the spaces we perform in, and the way we use clothing to do it: from the track and the fitness studio, to an online world and the street outside.
Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good visualizes the relationship between women and the garments they wear through five design archetypes from sporting history: warm-ups, jerseys, leggings, sport bras, and shorts. Steeped in narrative, history, and Nike's abundant archive, the book's rich imagery spans reproductions of Nike's trade catalogues that date back to the early 1980s, period and contemporary photography, sketches, advertisements, fabric swatches, seasonal color palettes, original design proposals and patents, logos, product and campaign shots, and everything in between.
Each chapter features interviews with Nike athletes, trainers, and other collaborators, along with insightful texts from cultural commentators. Across more than 350 pages and 575 images, this unprecedented volume not only maps the development of women's sports apparel but proves its potential, in whatever context, to make athletes who identify as women feel at their most powerful.
Featuring contributions from: Dina Asher-Smith, Scout Bassett, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Sue Bird, Deyna Castellanos, Chandra Cheeseborough, Anna Cockrell, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Kirsty Godso, Xochilt Hoover, Rayssa Leal, Tatyana Mcfadden, Naomi Osaka, Megan Rapinoe, Sha'Carri Richardson, Caster Semenya, and Dawn Staley.
Featuring essays by: Dal Chodha, the Editor-in-Chief of Archivist Addendum; Michelle Millar Fisher, the Wornick Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Heather Radke, an essayist, journalist, and contributing editor, and reporter at Radiolab; Samantha N. Sheppard, an Associate Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Cornell University; and Natalie E. Wright, a historian of design and disability.
A timely celebration of British design legend Sir Paul Smith and his one-of-a-kind creativity
This innovative book captures the unique spirit of British fashion icon Sir Paul Smith through 50 objects chosen by Sir Paul himself for the inspiration they have provided him over the years - from a wax plate of spaghetti and a Dieter Rams radio to a Mario Bellini Cab chair and a bicycle seat.
Each object has impacted his worldview, his creative process, and his adherence to a design approach that's always imbued with distinctly British wit and eccentricity. The book covers subjects as varied as breaking down the formality of wearing a suit, the importance of wit, and the benefits of remaining independent in an increasingly monopolized world, and includes personal contributions - handwritten notes, a sketch, or photograph - from such fashion and design heavyweights as Manolo Blahnik, Inès de la Fressange, Martin Parr, and John Pawson.
Updated with a fresh new fabric cover featuring the brand's signature stripe and a brand-new preface written by Sir Paul especially for this edition, Paul Smith provides the ultimate insight into one of the fashion world's most-loved creators.

At Nike, the desire to be the best is a journey, not a destination-better is always temporary.

The book's extraordinary design also nods to its contents. The striking cover features overlapping silkscreened layers of Nike's proprietary Volt yellow and Hyperpunch pink colors overlaying an image of world-champion marathoner Eliud Kipchoge printed in a half-tone dot pattern. The book's spine, visible through the clear jacket, showcases a series of colored tabs that extend from its interior pages.
Combining 500 color illustrations with stories, insights, knowledge, passion, and history shared by Nike's remarkable team, Nike: Better is Temporary will serve as a manual of innovation and inspiration for generations to come.

La Mode aujourd'hui retrace l'histoire de la mode, depuis la collection New Look de Christian Dior en 1947 jusqu'à nos jours. L'auteur, Colin McDowell, y examine les différentes tendances de la mode qui, longtemps réservée à l'élite, est devenue un bien accessible à tous. Pendant la seconde moitié du XXe siècle s'opère un spectaculaire tournant culturel.

Il s'intéresse à la mode comme industrie, alors que les couturiers jouent actuellement un rôle aussi important que leurs créations. Dans un style affranchi du jargon traditionnel, La Mode aujourd'hui dépeint la complexité de la mode contemporaine. Cet ouvrage, richement illustré, est indispensable pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la mode et au rôle qu'elle joue dans la culture moderne.

"Robes style XIXe en dentelle noire faites mains, vêtements au parfum occulte ou looks froufrouteux de « lolita », la scène « Gothique et Lolita » est l'un des courants de la mode de rue les plus atypiques aujourd'hui au Japon. Influencés par les tendances de la mode occidentale du milieu des années 80, les adolescents, et plus particulièrement les adolescentes, se concentrent dans les quartiers de Harajuku, Akihabara et certains clubs underground de Tokyo, vêtus des pieds à la tête en costumes gothiques et victoriens. Basé sur les précédents ouvrages Fruits et Fresh Fruits, Gothic & Lolita présente des portraits en pieds et de groupes de ces adolescents japonais, pris à la fois chez eux et dans les rues de Tokyo et Osaka, vêtus de leurs plus beaux atours. Depuis le milieu des années 90 où la tendance a commencé, elle s'est répandue dans de nombreuses villes : cette tribu compte aujourd'hui des milliers d'adeptes qui consacrent leur vie à créer des variantes toujours plus flamboyantes et singulières au thème gothique. Au-delà de ces looks saisissants présents dans le livre, chaque personne photographiée a été interrogée sur son style et les raisons pour lesquelles la mode est si importante pour eux. Comme dans Fruits et Fresh Fruits, les réponses sont parfois surprenantes, parfois choquantes, souvent drôles, toujours fascinantes. La juxtaposition de ces portraits et commentaires à la première personne fait de Gothic & Lolita un ouvrage de référence à la fois en Occident et au Japon, présentant une opportunité unique d'observer l'un des aspects les plus surréalistes de la jeune culture populaire japonaise."
