With a provocative and subversive design approach, Rick Owens has transformed fashion since founding his label in 1994. This volume provides the first critical appraisal of his work, documenting nearly three decades of his unique worldview. Renowned for his “a-grunge-meets-glamor” aesthetic, Owens has garnered a devoted international following. His creations blend grace and grit, emphasizing structural transformation and movement, with flowing shapes contrasting against opaque forms and sharp edges. This formal invention is enhanced by a fascination with new and exotic materials. Coinciding with the first comprehensive exhibition of his work at the Palais Galliera in Paris in summer 2025, the book captures the exhibition's scope and breadth, appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers. Owens will transform the grand nineteenth-century palace, using temporary installations as showcases for his creations. The book is divided between the conception of these showcases and the precious objects displayed within, featuring curatorial essays that explore Owens's multidisciplinary and architectural approach to design.

A richly illustrated, in-depth retrospective of the life and work of fashion icon Gabrielle Chanel. A revolutionary fashion icon, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel can lay claim to inventing modern women’s fashion. At the beginning of the twentieth century, she stripped women of their corsets, bobbed their hair, and sent them out into the sun to get a tan. She introduced the little black dress, created women’s trousers, and produced the exquisitely made suits that became her trademark. She designed the first-ever couture perfume—No. 5—whose square-cut, cubist bottle became a symbol of art deco style, and which remains the most popular scent ever created. Her ideas on elegance and what it meant to be a modern woman created an immutable sense of style that still resonates today. Published to accompany a landmark exhibition in Paris, Gabrielle Chanel chronicles the designer’s life from birth through the evolution of her timeless style. Specially commissioned photographs by Julien T. Hamon showcase her designs, while essays from fashion historians complemented by rare archival documents, including pictures of Chanel herself, paint a portrait of the designer in her time. This volume is a must-have for all fashion fans and students.
