„40th Anniversary Edition“ serijos knygos. „Taschen“ leidyklai 40 metų! Nuo tada, kai 1980 m. pradėjo dirbti kaip kultūros archeologai, „Taschen“ leidykla tapo prieinamos leidybos sinonimu, padedančiu „knygraužiams“ visame pasaulyje prižiūrėti savo meno, antropologijos ir afrodizijos biblioteką už neprilygstamą kainą.

„Fashion Designers A-Z. 40th Ed.“ - Fashion Master Class. Defining design of the 20th and 21st centuries. From Azzedine Ala?a, Cristóbal Balenciaga, and Coco Chanel to Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, and Vivienne Westwood, more than a century’s worth of fashion greats are celebrated in this new edition of Fashion Designers A–Z. An accessibly priced and updated volume features photographs of hundreds of garments selected from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) museums permanent collection. Elegant gowns from the turn of the century, Mondrian-style minimalist chic, and everything inbetween. Each of these works of art is chosen not only for its beauty but also for exemplifyingthe unique philosophy, skill, and aesthetics of each of the featured designers. In her introductory essay, the museum’s director and chief curator, Valerie Steele, writes about the rise of the fashion museum and the emergence of the fashion exhibition as a popular and controversial phenomenon. The foreword is contributed by international style maven Suzy Menkes, texts by the museum’s curators help shine historical light on each label and garment pictured, and beautifully drawn portraits by the artist Robert Nippoldt pay homage to the creators behind them.
