    Cedar Lane Press The Natural Beauty Solution: Break Free from

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisYou’ve stocked your kitchen with whole foods, and cleansed your cabinets of processed snacks, microwave meals, and sugary desserts. After putting all of that effort into your natural, healthy lifestyle, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to slather your body in chemical-laden commercially produced beauty products. You are what you eat, and your skin can absorb chemicals and additives just as easily as your stomach. With just a little extra effort, you can work handmade, natural beauty into your daily routine. The Natural Beauty Solution is a step-by-step guide to replacing commercial beauty products with a 100% natural routine. The Natural Beauty Solution features two-dozen easy-to-follow, customizable recipes for natural skin care. The ingredients and recipes not only provide a healthy alternative to mass-produced products, they make your skin and hair look their best, naturally. Common skin disorders, such as eczema, psoriasis,and acne are often aggravated by the chemical ingredients contained within commercial cosmetics. Chemical-based hair care can cause frizz, breakage, and scalp irritation. And, very often, it's the over the counter “cures” that are the very thing that cause common skin and hair care problems. By breaking the cycle with a natural beauty routine, you can give your body a true beauty reset. The Natural Beauty Solution will help you completely overhaul your medicine cabinet, show you how to create simple natural recipes that are quick and affordable, and troubleshoot natural beauty methods to fit your specific skin and hair type. The beautiful color photography, the insightful and inspiring editorial, and the easy to create natural recipes will have you re-examining -- and re-directing -- your entire beauty routine to a natural beauty solution.Table of ContentsTable Of Contents Introduction: Why Go Natural A Natural Step Toward Healthier Living / Medicine Cabinet Cleanse / Keep it Simple / Fresh is Best / Developing a Routine / How to Use this Book Chapter One: Building Your Pantry 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Stocking Up The Importance of Quality / Shopping Smart / Ingredient Storage and Shelf Life 1.3 The Essential Ingredients Cold Process Soap / Cosmetic Grade Clay / Adzuki Bean Powder / Baking Soda / Soy Lecithin / Beeswax / Witch Hazel / Apple Cider Vinegar / Sea Salt / Raw Sugar / Carrier Oils / Vegetable Butters / Essential Oils / Hydrosols/ Eggs / Yogurt / Almonds / Fruit 1.4 Outro Choosing the Right Ingredients for Your Own Routine Chapter Two: Face 2.1 Introduction Challenges & Rewards of DIY Facial Care / What to Expect 2.2 Everyday Recipes The Oil Cleansing Method / Washing Grain Recipe / Toner Recipe / Moisturizing Facial Oil Recipe / Facial Cream Recipe / Lip Balm Recipe 2.3 Specialty Recipes Deep Cleansing Masque / Alpha Hydroxy Facial / Soothing Cream Mask Chapter Three: Body 3.1 Introduction Challenges & Rewards of DIY Body Care / What to Expect 3.2 Everyday Recipes Hand­Milled Soap Bars / Body Oil / Body Butter / Sugar or Salt Scrub / Deodorant 3.3 Specialty Recipes Warming Massage Oil / Cuticle Oil / Pedicure Soak and Scrub / Almond and Yogurt Body Scrub Chapter Four: Hair 4.1 Introduction Challenges & Rewards of DIY Hair Care / What to Expect 4.2 Everyday Recipes Baking Soda Wash / Hand­Milled Shampoo Bars / Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse 4.3 Specialty Recipes Conditioning Oil / Egg Yolk Mask / Natural Detangler Sidebars and Blurbs Success Stories: Testimonials from natural beauty converts Life After Shampoo / How I Broke my Fragrance Addiction / Giving Eczema the Axe FAQ: Common questions about natural beauty Is it expensive? / Does your hair smell like vinegar? / I’m just too busy.

    Book SynopsisIn the publication Step by Step. Schuhdesign im Wandel (Shoe Design through the Ages), the Deutsches Ledermuseum in Offenbach am Main presents exceptional designs from its extensive shoe collection of over 10,000 objects: high heels and trainers, slippers and fetish boots all demonstrate how our shoes reflect our culture.

In combining historical exhibits from across the globe and current models, spectacular pairings result that highlight timeless concepts and varying tastes. By means of 2,000-year-old slippers from Egypt, Iranian riding boots from the 17th century and Italian designer shoes, the authors explain how shoes have become what they are today. Where did the flip flop originate? How did the heel develop and how long have we had left and right shoes? All these questions and more are answered in Step by Step. Featuring shoes by Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Salvatore Ferragamo, Beth Levine, Christian Louboutin, François Pinet, Alexander McQueen, Mary Quant, Roger Vivier, Vivienne Westwood, and many more. Text in German. Published to accompany an exhibition at Deutsches Ledermuseum, Offenbach am Main, between 26 October 2019 and 31 May 2020.

  • Damiani Azzedine Alaia Thierry Mugler

    7 in stock

    Book SynopsisEstablished in Paris in 1956, Azzedine Alaïa accompanies his female friends in their desire for a demanding yet discreet wardrobe. Azzedine has acquired the reputation of a great cutter heir to an academic tradition that places him in the direct line of Cristóbal Balenciaga or Madeleine Vionnet. Couturiers and fashion designers know they can count on him to refine certain complex designs or lend a hand on a collection that needs finishing. This was the case for Yves Saint Laurent. It was also the case with Thierry Mugler, whom Alaïa met in 1979 and with whom he forged a real friendship. For his autumn-winter 1979-80 collection, Mugler invited Alaïa to design the series of tuxedos for his fashion show, and in the press kit that accompanied the presentation of his creations that season, he thanked him publicly. In the hands of the man who never wanted to transgress the laws of cut, powder-grain and satin trouser suits acquired a form of notability and fluidity that was much appreciated. This collaboration encouraged Alaïa to become a designer himself. Mugler strongly encouraged him, and his support proved both vital and unfailing. On Rue de Bellechasse, where Azzedine has set up his workshops, Mugler, always flanked by his bicycle, brings in the top fashion journalists. In 1982, at the request of the American department store Bergdorf Goodman, Alaïa presented a show in New York. It was Mugler who persuaded him to do so, Alaïa imagining that the invitation was a joke! The designer, friend and admirer, accompanied him, organized and built the show himself, answered and translated interviews, and supported his comrade in the smallest tasks, for which he was eternally grateful. In the summer, they spend their vacations together in Tunisia at the home of lifelong friend Latifa and Leila Menchari. Companions for a decade that they preempted stylistically, Alaïa and Mugler freely let their influences influence each other's creations. In the 1980s, both divinized the woman, proclaiming the return of glamour in glory and Hollywood as their inspiration, a world away from the folkloric fashions of the 1970s. They shared a common silhouette where majestic shoulders contrasted with choked waists and blossoming hips, memories and fantasies of the fashions of the 1930s and 1950s and the couturiers Adrian, Jacques Fath, Christian Dior and Cristóbal Balenciaga in the lead. If Mugler had a flair for showmanship, orchestrating the biggest ever parade of his creations and fantasies at Zenith in 1984, Alaïa had a taste for intimacy and perfection. But it's with a shared spirit that their collections respond to each other. United by mutual love at first sight, Mugler always showed the young couturier a preview of his collections. He even agreed that Zuleika, his lifelong muse, and Mirabelle, his no less regular collaborator, would marry into the Alaïa family and company, which he firmly supported in its development. Contemporaries, friends, both deceased within six years of each other, the two designers showed deep respect for each other's careers throughout their lives. Azzedine Alaïa, the couturier and collector behind a vast and renowned fashion heritage, has preserved over 200 Thierry Mugler-branded creations.
