Rizzoli Perry Ellis An American Original
Book SynopsisIn the late ’70s, spirited young designer, Perry Ellis introduced a fresh, witty and relaxed new sensibility to American sportswear, initially for women and a few years later, for men. The clothes were easy, oversized, slouchy, but classic at heart and they caused a sensation. Ellis, who once told the New York Times that he always made a determined effort to do something different, did just that, creating a series of signature looks such as his “dimple” sleeves and single-cabled sweaters that set his clothes apart from everyone else’s. Nearly three decades after his untimely death, the legacy of the designer Ellis is still very much felt : PERRY ELLIS: An American Original is the first complete monograph to celebrate his exceptional career. The beautifully illustrated book showcases Ellis’s designs through a combination of photography and sketches, providing an insightful look at each season of his career, from 1976 to Trade Review“Rare photos and interviews with Ellis’ close friends and family paint a portrait of a man who not only defined an aesthetic, but changed the landscape of fashion forever.” ~Out Magazine“Perry Ellis tome traces storied career. The designer's influential career is detailed in a sweeping new monograph....illustrated with a trove of photographs...Surprisingly, this is the first comprehensive examination of Perry Ellis’ life and work, apart from a biography penned in 1988 immediately following the designer’s death. The tome has an in-depth biography of Ellis woven into the pictorial history…” ~Women’s Wear Daily “…you are reminded that this was a blip on the radar as the man, Perry Ellis, had an extremely brief career, and that he has influenced fashion more than you realize in the decades following his untimely death. This lovingly told tale is remembered by those who were there and those who participated in his life…This is not a sappy chronicle or diary but an insightful, warmly related dialogue about a designer who was light years ahead of his time and would be considered an exception in today’s world rather than the rule.As a veteran of the fashion trenches, this book can be viewed and appreciated on multiple levels and by many categories of readers. It can be viewed as cautionary, fairy tale like, instructive, sentimental, and commemorative, but it will jar your memories and enlarge and refresh your perspectives on the topic of American fashion. Perry Ellis: An American Original is a gift to all who love fashion and the creative process. Consider this a genuine and heartfelt eulogy for one of the great designers of the 20th century.” ~New York Journal of Books

Rizzoli Olivier Zahm A Photographic Diary of Fashion Art
Book SynopsisThe man behind Purple magazine is the chronicler of his generation, exposing the lifestyles of the creative elite through his intimate, autobiographical photographs.Trade Review“Fashion's Naughtiest Photographer, Olivier Zahm. He is known for his edgy, often nude photos of girls out on the town and for documenting his late night antics. In his new book, O.Z. Diary, Zahm explores 10 years of his life and art. The over-500-page tome feels every bit as raw (and explicit) as its digital counterpart, giving viewers a full frontal view of Zahm’s life over the past 10 years. There’s no denying the beauty in the images. In producing OZ Diary, Zahm is doing more than documenting his life; he’s exposing a part of himself to the world as an artist rather than an editor. In seeing these photos, it’s apparent that Zahm has experienced the best nights (and days) we’ll never have. But as the artist is slowly leaving those experiences behind, OZ Diary allows us all a moment to pretend that we’ve lived them as well.” –The Daily Beast“Olivier Zahm chronicles the world around him in nonstop photographs…a wildly adventurous visual autobiography. Diary gives the interested reader a fascinating look into a very creative mind.” –Marienela.com “Zahm’s first book of photographs dispenses with the pretense of fashion altogether.” –The Cut “Zahm selected and organized hundreds of images showcasing daring models, counter-cultural artists and performers—into a wildly adventurous visual autobiography.” –FashionTribes.com“…Zahm’s first book of photographs, OZ Diary, dispenses with the pretense of fashion altogether. His cosmopolitan 500-page photo diary...Nocturnal snapshots of artist friends, graffiti, and decadent interiors are punctuated with mooning asses, ultralight bondage, and dozens of anonymous torsos with small breasts and tidy pubic hair, identified only by the location of their conquest: Los Angeles, Tokyo, New York, Paris. Printed in black-and-white — but mostly white flesh on white hotel comforters — they seem earnestly to aspire to the sensuality of Impressionist sculptor Auguste Rodin’s "The Kiss," a photo of which opens OZ Diary.” –New York Magazine “Olivier Zahm, the Parisian creator of the sexually-charged fashion bible Purple, has just published a 600-page tome with Rizzoli filled with his trademark photography. O.Z. Diary, is a collection of images taken over the span of a decade whose subjects are the stylish and free-spirited denizens who occupy Zahm’s rarified social circle. They lend a rare view into the underbelly of the fashion and art worlds, spanning from Paris to New York.” –Bullett Magazine

Rizzoli Another Girl Another Planet
Book SynopsisCelebrating the unique fashion sensibility of fearless young women and the spirit of girl power. A generation of girls grew up with Valerie Phillips’s work pinned on their bedroom walls. The self-confessed Peter Pan is famous for capturing the essence of female youth—girls who boldly unravel their individual quirks before the camera, with loads of spark and beautifully unpredictable things going on in their heads. In this personally curated volume, Phillips has selected her best work from her limited-edition, self-published books, as well as images from editorials, advertising, and music albums, featuring It Girls such as Sienna Miller, Daisy Lowe, and Florence Welch. Another Girl Another Planet gives a personal and instinctive view of the girl experience, with honest portraits of young women captured uninhibited in their unique universes. These images celebrate the exploration of personal style, the female spirit, the beauty found in idiosyncracy, and tTrade Review"While Valerie's previous books have explored the nuances and complexities of girlhood in relation to a single subject, Another Girl Another Planet is simply a feel-good compilation of all her most treasured photos." —i-D Magazine"The photographer Valerie Phillips's new book, Another Girl Another Planet, is nothing but women — from Sienna Miller and PJ Harvey to that girl on the corner — to swoon over." —W Magazine"Photographer Valerie Phillips–who has shot for the likes of i-D, Nylon, and many others– is known for her bold, edgy portraits of modern young women. The book will include images from these smaller books as well as her work in advertising, editorial, and album covers. For insight into a fully-developed photography niche, take a look at her work." —Join The Breed"There is consistency in Phillips' images: people who know her work, will easily recognise one of her pictures whether they see it on a billboard advertising sportswear or in a fashion magazine.Phillips' photographs usually feature unusual muses - models, musicians, actors, family and friends - all sharing one main thing in common, a sense of freedom and rebellion."—Irenebrination.com"In her new book, "Another Girl Another Planet," photographer Valerie Phillips looks over the last 15 years she spent photographing everyone from Instagram-famous stars to girls she met on airplanes and cafes."—VICE"It can be argued that this all pertains to Phillips style, employing a candid authenticity. . . . Distinct fashion sensibilities are celebrated, but so are emotions, acts and archetypes. As far as visual studies of a photographer's work (thus far) go, this declares Phillips as an artist with an eye for boldness and a voice that seeks to elevate her subjects."—CoolHunting.com"A visceral celebration of girls being girls and all things girly. Unapologetic, edgy, happy."—Citizens of Humanity Magazine"Besides the saturated color palette and spontaneous settings Phillips brings to her fashion-culture portraits of young women, there’s a flexible comfort zone: Her subjects dance and pout and pop bubblegum and ham it up with abandon."—American Photo
