Icons of Women’s StyleJosh Sims

Behind nearly every garment in the feminine wardrobe there is a first of its kind that has spawned countless others. While the definitive example – often created by a single designer – has achieved iconic status, its various reinterpretations, season after season, have become fashion staples.

Inferno: Alexander McQueenKent Baker with words by Melanie Rickey

London 1996: Alexander McQueen took over the Hawksmoor masterpiece Christ Church in London’s East End for what was quite possibly the greatest fashion show on earth. A candle-lit, cruciform catwalk with a backdrop of stained-glass windows set the tone for an extraordinary collection. Lace sat against chiffon and rubbed shoulders with couture and club-culture clothing and digital print. Dante was the seminal collection that would resonate throughout Alexander McQueen’s career.

This book features unique photographs shot behind the scenes, with raw, unseen pictures of the designer, models and clothes. The fashion creatives who worked with McQueen to make the show such a success recall this pivotal time in the designer’s career and reflect on what made ‘Dante’ truly groundbreaking. Newly created imagery of clothes shown on the catwalk gives an insight into why this collection was so special.

Kent Baker lives in London and New York. He was championed by Terry Jones from i-D magazine, jump-starting collaborations with British Vogue, 10 Magazine and Russian Vogue.

Melanie Rickey is a writer, editor and consultant. She writes for the Guardian and Grazia, and shares her expert fashion knowledge on her Fashion Editor at Large website.

• Features stunning images of Alexander McQueen’s seminal Dante show, which have never been seen before

• Also includes specially created imagery of clothes from the show

• Published to coincide with the Savage Beauty exhibition at the V&A

This is Van GoghGeorge Roddam, illustrated by Sława Harasymowicz

Vincent van Gogh used art to express his intensely emotional response to the world around him. Enraptured by the beauty of nature and tormented by the sorrows of human existence, he produced in his tragically short life some of the most powerfully expressive paintings ever seen.

Many have made the mistake of thinking him mad, and he did suffer throughout his life periods of mental anguish. But Van Gogh’s paintings are not the works of a madman.

Van Gogh famously sold only one painting during his life, but within a few years of his death he was recognized as one of the greatest modern painters.

George Roddam has taught art history at universities in the UK and US. His research focuses primarily on European Modernisms. He lives in southeast England with his wife and two sons.

Sława Harasymowicz is a Polish artist based in London. Following the release of the graphic novel The Wolf Man, she had a solo exhibition at The Freud Museum, London. She was a member of the V&A Award’s jury in 2010.

• The story of Van Gogh’s life and work is brought to life through specially commissioned illustrations

• Includes key works by the artist

• Text and illustrations are meticulously researched to ensure historical accuracy

This is CézanneJorella Andrews, illustrated by Patrick Vale

Paul Cézanne challenged convention and pioneered new possibilities in painting. He was remarkable for his ability to perceive and paint aspects of everyday life in ways that revealed dynamic yet deeply harmonious visions of the world.

But the intellectual and emotional difficulties of his achievements were considerable. Mainly self-taught, most of his career was plagued by rejection. The critics, and the public, disliked his paintings, and in 1884 Cézanne declared that Paris, the centre of the nineteenth-century art world, had defeated him. Repeatedly, he retreated into self-doubt and bad temper.

This book follows Cézanne on his extraordinary artistic journey, focusing on his formative discoveries, made not in the flashy, fashionable metropolis of Paris but in provincial and rural France, often in isolation.

Jorella Andrews is a senior lecturer in the Visual Cultures department at Goldsmiths, University of London. She is the author of Showing Off! A Philosophy of Image and the series editor for ‘Visual Culture As’ (Spring 2013).

Patrick Vale is an internationally recognized illustrator best known for his work based on cities and architecture. Among his recent projects is the time-lapsed film, ‘Empire State of Pen’. He lives and works in London.

This is MatisseCatherine Ingram, illustrated by Agnès Decourchelle

In the history of twentieth century modernism, Henri Matisse is a calm and unstoppable revolution of creative genius.

Trained originally in the French classical manner, he was inspired by the Impressionists and Cézanne to create in a style that brought out the beauty of colour, form and line by reducing them to their essentials. While considered a leader of the Fauves and an inspiration to most of the great figures in modern art, he wasn’t interested in being associated with any school or trend. A family man who worked ‘office hours’ in his studio, he defies the image of the artist as enfant terrible or tortured soul.

In a career spanning six decades, he produced masterpiece after masterpiece that constantly challenge how we perceive colour and form.

Catherine Ingram obtained a First Class Honours degree at Glasgow University. After an MA in 19th Century Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, Catherine became a graduate scholar at Trinity College, Oxford. On completion of her D.Phil, she was made a Prize Fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Agnès Decourchelle is an illustrator who primarily works in pencil and watercolours. She received her Diploma in illustration in Paris and an MA in Communication Art and Design. She lives and works in Paris.

100 Great Children’s PicturebooksMartin Salisbury

This unashamed visual feast celebrates the best designed and illustrated picturebooks from around the world over the past one hundred years.

Fearlessly confronting the frontiers between a child’s picturebook and art, this is a collection of books that anyone with an interest in design, illustration or simply children’s literature should know about.

Martin Salisbury is Professor of Illustration at Cambridge School of Art in Anglia Ruskin University, where he designed and leads the UK’s first Masters programme in children’s book illustration.

MorphingA Guide to Mathematical Transformations for Architects and DesignersJoseph Choma

Spheres, cylinders, and cubes are a small handful of platonic shapes that can be defined by a single word. However, most shapes cannot be found in a dictionary. They belong to an alternative plastic world defined by trigonometry: a mathematical world where all shapes can be described under one systematic language and where any shape can transform into another.

This visually striking guide book clearly and systematically lays out the basic foundation for using these mathematical transformations as design tools. It is intended for architects, designers, and anyone with the curiosity to understand the link between shapes and the equations behind them.

An architect and designer, Joseph Choma is the founder of the Design Topology Lab, an interdisciplinary design research practice. He completed his graduate studies in design and computation at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited and published internationally.

• Clear, accessible guide to using maths to create complex and beautiful designs

The New Sri Lankan HouseRobert Powell, photographs by Sebastian Posingis

The New Sri Lankan House charts the development of private houses in the 21st century in a variety of locations around the island. Most are the work of ‘home-grown’ architects, many of whom are indebted to the influence of the island’s most famous son, Geoffrey Bawa. Through the inclusion of plans, sections and elevations, full-colour photographs and interviews with owners and architects, the author traces the evolution of residence styles in both urban and rural areas. Of paramount importance are sustainability and suitability to site and climate, topics that Powell investigates in depth. Whether you are an architect, designer or simply somebody who enjoys looking at beautiful homes, The New Sri Lankan House will both educate and entertain.

Robert Powell is an architect, city planner and writer. He is the author of more than 30 books including The Modern Thai House (2012) and Contemporary Houses in the Philippines (2014).

Sebastian Posingis spent much of his childhood in Sri Lanka and India and gained a degree in anthropology from the University of Canterbury in the UK before turning to his first love as an architectural photographer.
