Anna Wintour is a British fashion editor and the driving force behind American Vogue, where she has served as editor-in-chief since 1988. After beginning her career in fashion journalism, she became a pivotal figure in shaping the industry. Wintour is recognized for her keen eye for trends and her significant support for emerging designers, though her demanding and often aloof demeanor has also drawn criticism. Her strategic use of the magazine's influence to steer fashion's direction and her stances on controversial topics like fur have solidified her as an iconic, albeit polarizing, figure.
In "Wonderland," legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz reflects on her journey in fashion photography. She emphasizes that while fashion is integral to her work, photography remains her primary focus, allowing her to explore various genres, including journalism and portraiture, shaped by her experiences with Vogue.
The editors of Vogue, the ultimate authority on fashion, document the post- COVID changes happening across the fashion landscape in America. Celebrating creators, artisans, and visionaries across the country, the book pays tribute to the democratisation of American fashion and the creativity and artisanship that is no longer confined to the runways of New York and Los Angeles.
Synonymous with high-octane glamour, opulent sexuality, and fearless fashion, Tom Ford is an iconic designer whose namesake label has devout followers across the globe, from Milan and New Delhi to Shanghai and New York. Seventeen years after his best-selling debut book Tom Ford (2004), which detailed his time as creative director for the Italian label Gucci, this second volume is a visual ode to Ford's eponymous brand created in 2005 and encompasses cosmetics, eyewear, menswear, and his critically acclaimed womenswear line.

Includes dazzling imagery of Ford's clothing and accessories designs, fashion editorials featuring top models such as Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls, Mica Argañaraz, and Jon Kortajarena, and his signature sexually-charged advertising campaigns by photographers such as Inez & Vinoodh, Nick Knight, Steven Meisel, and Mert & Marcus
Tom Ford is one of fashion's great icons. He has cut a swathe through the fashion world over the last ten years transforming Gucci into a coveted fashion brand. Created with the designer's co-operation, this volume reflects his exceptional taste and is a testament to a career devoted to reinventing the boundaries of style and sensuality
For three decades, Manolo Blahnik_s shoes have held the fashion world spellbound. His sense of the theatrical wedded to the finest materials and superlative craftsmanship inspire fanatical devotion. Diane Von Furstenberg has more than 80 pairs; Paloma Picasso has been fan since the age of 14; and Sarah Jessica Parker, Anna Piaggi and Kate Moss, to name a few, are fellow addicts. Here, collected together for the first time, are over one hundred and twenty exquisite drawings that Blahnik makes at the outset of the design process. These sketches are executed with such exuberance and deftness that they have become as sought-after as the shoes themselves (they often fetch up to £10,000 at charity auctions). Inimitable in style, these drawings, beautifully reproduced in this book with special inks, vividly convey Blahnik_s unique vision.
