It s a wonderful book if you re a Harry Styles fan or not just have a look at how he wears clothes, look at his influences, and if you are a Harry Styles fan, it s a double whammy. BBC’s Jo Good
Show
I m incredibly lucky to have an environment where I feel comfortable being myself Harry Styles.
Stepping bravely into the cyclone of 21st-century fashions, Harry Styles is more than weathering the storm. Whether he s breaking the internet with his $7.99 frog-eyed yellow bucket hat or a pair of black fishnets, or fronting cult magazine The Beauty Papers, as he did in March 2021, Hazza s sparkle knows no boundaries.
Gucci met Styles in 2014, and there was instant chemistry. According to designer Alessandro Michele, Harry is a young Greek God with the attitude of James Dean and a little bit of Mick Jagger and that effortless superstardom certainly radiates from the photos in this collection, which document the heart of Harry s wardrobe, both on-stage and off.
Part fashion history lesson, pulling references from the rock and roll greats of the past, and part innovation, Harry s style pays homage to Kurt Cobain and Marc Bolan, Prince and Little Richard, while developing into something authentic and entirely his own. This chic book fizzles with facts about Harry s styling choices, presenting the star s most revered looks alongside pictures that trace the roots of each design. With quotes from key designers, this is the perfect gift for any fan.

A guide to the style of Rihanna, a 21st-century fashion icon
Over 100 pictures of Rihanna and designers who have influenced her sartorial taste
The perfect gift for fans and fashionistas
The book Rihanna and the Clothes She Wears satisfies the cravings of fans and fashion enthusiasts alike, boasting over 100 images of Rihanna and her favorite designers who have influenced her taste. HOLA! Magazine
I grew up on a really small Island, and I didn t have a lot of access to fashion, but as far as I could remember, fashion has always been my defence mechanism. Even as a child I remember thinking, she can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit. Rihanna, accepting the CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year Award in 2014.
From the author of the runaway bestseller Harry Styles and the Clothes He Wears comes a new, fresh look at style icon Rihanna.
Rihanna has learnt how to define her own terms whatever she does whether in the worlds of fashion, music, beauty, philanthropy, business, or activism, she is both muse and creative, a collaborator and pioneer. To date she has 135 million Instagram followers and counting. In 2022 at the age of 34, largely because of her Fenty Beauty empire, she became Forbes youngest self-made billionaire.
But it is her personal wardrobe and the way she wears it that embodies Rihanna s charisma, integrity, and humour most: everything she does reflects what she wears herself. She is a risk-taker, but as she said on the red-carpet in 2014 you will never be stylish if you don t take risks. The gamble has paid off. Rihanna s mix-and-match method of wearing high fashion and streetwear, young designers and vintage, hip-hop classics, and avant-garde custom-made pieces, has meant that she has equal footing in both the music and fashion industries. Chairman and CEO of the LVMH group, Sidney Toledano says she is: a style icon for today s generation .
The breadth of Rihanna s fashion knowledge and style is astounding. In Rihanna and the Clothes She Wears, Terry Newman steps into the world of this fashion icon by examining her style. From couture catwalks to her own empire Fenty, political statements to high street casual, this chic book fizzles with facts about Rihanna s styling choices, presenting the star s most revered looks. With quotes from key designers, this is the perfect gift for any fan.

Diana: A Life in Dresses chronicles Princess Diana s sartorial evolution from her early shopping days at Harrods to working with world-renowned designers like Catherine Walker. Harpers Bazaar
This stylish survey traces Di s evolution from unsophisticated debutante to fashion icon, telling the stories behind her most famous, and infamous, dresses. New York Post
I literally had one long dress, one silk shirt, one smart pair of shoes and that was it so Princess Diana said of the day she and Prince Charles got engaged. Sixteen years later, Diana would die, no longer the girl with one dress, but a global fashion icon who had raised more than £2 million for charity by selling 79 of her dresses at Christie s auction house in New York.
This chic and stylish book opens Diana s wardrobe to the world. From the Regamus debutante s dress Diana wore at a ball at Althorp, her family estate, to her infamous Christina Stambolian Revenge dress, which she wore on the night Prince Charles publicly admitted his adultery with Camilla Parker Bowles, each iconic moment is captured in these pages.
Claudia Joseph chronicles Diana s style evolution from the days she shopped with her mother for her wedding trousseau at Harrods, to her discovery of her wedding dress designers, the Emanuels, and her relationship with Vogue fashion director Anna Harvey, who introduced her to designers such as Catherine Walker, Jacques Azagury and Versace. She looks at the designers who shaped Diana s image and tracks down her most symbolic dresses to museums around the world.
Claudia Joseph was a pupil at Cheltenham Ladies College and trained as a fashion journalist at the London College of Fashion before becoming a news reporter. She has worked at Tatler, The Times and the Mail on Sunday and regularly contributes to a number of national newspapers and magazines. She wrote Kate Middleton: Princess in Waiting (Mainstream Publishing: 2009) the first book on the Duchess of Cambridge, and has written two other books William and Kate s Britain (Splendid Publications Limited: 2015) and How to Dress Like A Princess: The Secrets of Kate s Wardrobe (Splendid Publications Limited: 2017). She has appeared on television around the world and is a regular commentator on Sky TV

Stunning images of global phenomenon Billie Eilish
Revealing fashion insights from the bestselling author of Harry Styles and the Clothes He Wears and Rihanna and the Clothes She Wears
Elegant hardback presentation including real cloth cover The perfect present for fans and fashionistas
Billie Eilish is a fashion phenomenon. Her goth-skate-anime wardrobe resonates loud and clear with her generation and anyone who doesn t want to be defined. Courted by the world s biggest fashion houses, Billie has a way of spotlighting inclusivity, body image, environmental issues and more, while always looking awesome. In the latest addition to this popular series, fashion writer Terry Newman casts her eye over a young megastar with oversized clothes and an even bigger attitude.
When Billie Eilish burst onto the music scene aged just 14, her outfits told everyone who she was before they d downloaded a track. She was savage and brooding. Her clothes were large and matched her attitude. Her wardrobe was made up of labels that speak the language of Gen Z and everyone who doesn t want to be defined by others. Growing up hasn t changed a thing though she now has the command of fashion houses the world over. As such, Billie often mixes and matches Chanel, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons and Prada with finds from Slumpy Kev, Skoot, The Incorporated and Freak City, and the result is beyond the realms of meta-modernism. It s a look that might very well bite the hand that feeds it, but Eilish doesn t care. She wears what she likes when she likes. And we re here for it.
Terry Newman worked in the fashion industry for more than 20 years, both as an editor ati-D, Attitude, and Self Service and as a contributing writer for newspapers including the Guardian, the Independent, the Times, and the Sunday Times. She has also written and presented fashion programs in the United Kingdom for Channel 4 (She's Gotta Have It and Slave). The author of Harry Styles and the Clothes He Wears (ACC), Legendary Authors and the Clothes They Wore and Legendary Artists and the Clothes They Wore (Harper Design), she has contributed to books including i-D's Fashion Now, Fashion Now 2, and Soul i-D. She currently lectures at the University for the Creative Arts in Epsom, England and lives in London with her husband and two children.

The history of the "it"-bag: This book is a must-have for all fashionistas! For bag fans, anyone who wants to learn more about women's most important accessory, and men looking for the perfect gift
Whether it is a behind-the-scenes look at how these classic styles came to be or taking a front-seat look at how iconic women taught us how what it means to accessorize, this is a must-have for fashion lovers. BELLA magazine
Women love handbags because they are a perfect vehicle not just for keys, credit cards, and lipstick, but also their dreams and desires. Luxury labels made the humble bag into a billion-dollar business in the 20th century, but the bag is more than just a status symbol. Because it is constantly being reinvented, it wields a greater influence on everyday fashion than any hemline or silhouette.
For the Love of Bags is a homage to the power of the handbag: from icons like the Kelly Bag, the first must-have item ever, to popular Paris fashion house labels and the latest Instagram stars, this book details the history of the it bag and decodes the messages handbags communicate.

A fashion retrospective in a coffee-table book on the occasion of the current '90s revival
A comprehensive look back at an exciting fashion decade: over 200 pages and more than 150 high-quality photographs
Including chapters on fashion icons of the '90s
The 1990s Fashion Book is a tribute to the unique fashion of that time. Flashy, colourful, casual and sexy, these were the attributes that applied back then. Top models, hip-hoppers or pop groups like Take That and the Spice Girls exemplified a fashion style that triggered a boom all over the world.
It is fair to say that, in retrospect, hardly any other decade has had such a formative effect on modern times as the 1990s. It is considered a decade of revolution, in which almost everything that had existed before changed at breakneck speed. This is when ground-breaking technologies such as the internet or nationwide mobile telephony came into being, without which our lives today would be unimaginable.
Modern pop culture and current fashion design originate to a large extent from the cradle of the 90s. Sub-trends of the time such as grunge, hip-hop, minimalism, casual chic and deconstructivism are, in retrospect, what continues to have an impact today.

Tribute to the most important fashion designer from the Netherlands
The book accompanies Iris van Herpen's grand retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris
Unique retrospective with more than 100 dresses and designs
With a foreword by actress Tilda Swinton
Fashion is an instrument for change, to shift us emotionally. Through biomimicry I look at the forces behind the forms in nature, these patterns and natural cycles are my guide to explore new forms of femininity for a more conscious and sustainable fashion for the future. Iris van Herpen
Sculpting the Senses offers an overview of Iris van Herpen s work over the past 16 years. It not only shows the most iconic designs, but also explores her forward-looking vision of fashion on a deeper level. On the basis of 100 dresses, it becomes clear how much the designer challenges our vision of Haute Couture . Sculpting the Senses immerses you in Van Herpen s sensory universe and unites fashion, contemporary art, design and science on the basis of nine themes that together form the essence of Van Herpen s work.
Iris van Herpen founded her fashion house in 2007. Known for her blend of technology and traditional craftsmanship and for her vision of fashion as an interdisciplinary language and dynamic entity, she now belongs to the Fédération de la Haute Couture. Her collaborations are also distinctive, including with sculptor Anthony Howe, architect Philip Beesley and artist Casey Curran. Cloé Pitiot is curator of the exhibition Sculpting the Senses at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, to which she is affiliated, and Louise Kurtis is assistant curator of the same expo. Ariane Koek founded the first "arts" program within CERN and is an independent producer, writer, speaker, curator known for her multi-disciplinary approach.

Christian Dior and Christian Bérard met at the end of the 1920s. They immediately became friends, nourished by elective affinities and an incredible complementarity. If Christian Dior marks his time with his architectural work as a couturier who will redesign the silhouette of women for a long time, Christian Bérard is a jack of all trades painter, illustrator, and theatre designer for Jean Cocteau among others. Both have a crucial influence on their respective careers.
With more than 100 images from the Dior archives, this book immerses the readers in the heart of the lives of Christian Dior and Christian Bérard.
