D’une plume alerte, Caroline Bongrand retrace l’ascension de ce jeune audacieux, artisan virtuose et visionnaire.

Le dernier matin, Karl Lagerfeld est mort seulement accompagné de Sébastien, son bodyguard et homme de confiance avec qui il dînait en tête-à-tête presque chaque soir. Lors de la cérémonie funèbre, défilèrent Bernard Arnault et les frères Wertheimer, Caroline de Monaco et Inès de la Fressange, les premières des ateliers de couture Chanel et de jeunes mannequins. L’empereur de la mode avait exigé de disparaître en cendres, avec cette « panoplie » si reconnaissable – lunettes noires et catogan – qui servait de rempart à ses secrets. C’est seulement maintenant que les témoins parlent.

Louis Vuitton was just thirteen years old, when, he left the family mill to escape his stepmother. In Paris, he found work with Maréchal, the most prestigious box-maker and packer in Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

"Es fängt mit mir an, und es hört mit mir auf." Karl Lagerfeld stilisierte sich selbst zum lebenden Logo und zu einem Mythos der Modewelt. F.A.Z.-Redakteur Alfons Kaiser, der Lagerfeld seit langem kannte, stellt in dieser Biographie anhand vieler bislang unbekannter Quellen den charismatischen Modeschöpfer vor. Und er erklärt die vielen Rollen seines Lebens: den jugendlichen Außenseiter im norddeutschen Flachland, das weltgewandte Genie in Paris, den unermüdlichen Zeichner, begeisterten Fotografen, leidenschaftlichen Büchersammler und den preußisch disziplinierten Workaholic.

During André Leon Talley’s first magazine job, alongside Andy Warhol at Interview, a fateful meeting with Karl Lagerfeld began a decades-long friendship with the enigmatic, often caustic designer. Propelled into the upper echelons by his knowledge and adoration of fashion, André moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild’s Women’s Wear Daily, befriending fashion's most important designers (Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta). But as André made friends, he also made enemies.

Already a rising star in fashion and the first Black female designer to win a Council of Fashion Designers of America Award, Aurora James posted a revolutionary idea in the wake of George Floyd’s murder that connected economics to racial justice in a way that has forever changed the American economic landscape. With that Instagram post, she founded the Fifteen Percent Pledge, which challenges retailers to commit 15 percent of their shelf space and spending power to Black businesses and is one of the fastest-growing social justice nonprofits.

When Edward Enninful became the first Black editor-in-chief of British Vogue, few in the world of fashion wanted to confront how it failed to represent the world we live in. But Edward, a champion of inclusion throughout his life, rapidly changed that. Now, whether it’s putting first responders, octogenarians or civil rights activists on the cover of Vogue, or championing designers and photographers of colour, Edward Enninful has cemented his status as one of his world’s most important changemakers.

As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing but, seduced by the miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, an influential newspaper editor, loomed large in her life, and once he decided she should become editor-in-chief of Vogue, she never looked back.

In 1838, a young woman was given a diary on her wedding day. Collecting snippets of fabric from a range of garments she carefully annotated each one, creating a unique record of her life and times. Her name was Mrs Anne Sykes. Nearly two hundred years later, the diary fell into the hands of Kate Strasdin, a fashion historian and museum curator. Strasdin spent the next six years unravelling the secrets contained within the album's pages. Piece by piece, she charts Anne's journey from the mills of Lancashire to the port of Singapore before tracing her return to England in later years.

In February 2019, the world lost one of its most enduring cultural icons, Karl Lagerfeld, the creative director for the storied House of Chanel for thirty-five years. Larger than life, Lagerfeld was legendary not only for reinventing Chanel; and creating constant fashion excitement at Chloé, Fendi, and his eponymous brand; but also for his vivid personal style, including his signature uniform of dark sunglasses and a powdered white ponytail. And then there was his utter devotion to his cat, Choupette.

A candid look at the who's who of the last 50 years of fashion and proof that fact is always devilishly more fascinating than fiction. André Leon Talley's engaging and detailed memoir is his story of surviving and thriving in the notoriously cutthroat fashion industry amidst racism, homophobia and other challenges to become one of the most legendary voices and faces in fashion journalism.

The legendary French designer Coco Chanel was born in 1883. She changed the way women thought about fashion and themselves; her dresses were meant to free women of the corset and allow them to move freely and elegantly. At the dawn of a new century, Chanel stood for a new type of woman. Chanel worked her way up from living in an orphanage to dining with royalty. She personified her own designs.

Cristóbal Balenciaga no se dejaba ver en sus desfiles ni salía jamás a saludar tras finalizarlos. Si hacemos caso a la leyenda, el diseñador vasco seguía con detalle los pases a través de un discreto agujero practicado en las cortinas de terciopelo que decoraban su maison. Apenas existen retratos suyos, e incluso llegó a calar el rumor de que el hombre invisible de la alta costura no era más que una invención, una estrategia comercial elaborada con astucia. 

When Lyn Slater started her fashion blog, Accidental Icon, at age sixty-one, she discovered that followers were flocking to her account for more than just her A-list style. As Lyn flaunted gray hair, wrinkles, and a megadose of self-acceptance, they found in her an alternative model of older life: someone who defied the stereotypes, refused to become invisible, and showed that all women have the opportunity to be relevant and take major risks at any stage of their life. Youth is not the only time we can be experimental. How to Be Old tells the ten-year story of Lyn’s sixties.

Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself into our cultural consciousness. Today, 125 years later, Vogue spans 22 countries, has an international print readership upwards of 12 million and nets over 67 million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognisable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment.
