From total look to total living: Alchimia, Tadao Ando, Armani, Vanessa Beecroft, Benetton, Pierre Cardin, CP Company, Courrèges, Diesel, Diller & Scofidio, Droog Design, Final Home, Dan Flavin, Tom Ford, Future Systems, Eileen Gray, Gucci, Andreas Gursky, Halston, Herzog & De Meuron, Tommy Hilfiger, Damien Hirst, Ikea, Philip Johnson, Rei Kawakubo, Calvin Klein, Rem Koolhaas, Helmut Lang, Le Corbusier, Levi's, Mandarina Duck, Marni, Steven Meisel, Alessandro Mendini, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Issey Miyake, Moschino, Helmut Newton, Nike, NL Architects, Ora-Ito Studio, John Powson, Prada, Emilio Pucci, Ralph Lauren, Claudio Silvestrin, Hedi Slimane, Paul Smith, Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Bruce Weber, Yves Saint Laurent. Styles and lifestyles are fast becoming uniform under labels and definitions of fashion, and as an industry and a cultural form. Total Living is the point of no return in a project which, step-by-step, develops strategies whose goal it is to offer an even more sophisticated and targeted lifestyle. It is a place where there are definitions for clothes, behavior modes, and even the atmoshpheres and spaces in which one moves. Assuming the contours of a landscape of the future, this scenario raises topical themes and problems connected with the overwhelming power of consumerism. Accompanying scholarly essays consider the thematic universes of fashion designers and brands; models of total living in 20th century history; references to total living in mass culture; living and eating; arty fashion and fashionable art; the world of fashion design; the languages of shopping; urban fashion districts; and advertising as a narrative. A rich and interconnected iconographic passage visually narrates the various forms and ramifications of total living today and in the recent past through a succession of utopias, life-projects, urban visions, architecture, special homes, stores, art galleries, museums, and editorial pages and ads from fashion and lifestyle magazines. With texts by Papla Antonelli, Francesco Bonami, Michele Ciavarella, Emanuela de Cecco, Riccardo Dirindin, Roberto Monelli, Herbert Muschamp, Chee Pearlman, Michele Sernini, Dietmar Steiner, and Deyan Sudjic.

Summary:
Héritière de sa grande tradition des arts décoratifs, la France n'avait pas pris, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le virage de la modernité et du design industriel. Malgré les efforts de quelques designers comme Roger Tallon, la discipline reste en marge, faute d'être enseignée. En 1982, nouvelle donne, avec la création de l'École nationale supérieure de création industrielle, appelée aussi les Ateliers Saint-Sabin. Gilles de Bure s'en fait ici le chroniqueur, nous ouvrant les portes de cette école rêvée, qui forme mais ne formate pas. Une école où l'élève est au cœur de l'enseignement. Où l'invention est au cœur des questions de société. Une école ancrée dans la réalité d'aujourd'hui et de demain, d'où sortent chaque année ces designers qui - entre rigueur et poésie - façonnent et embellissent notre cadre de vie.

Summary:
"Design, un mot anglais au goût italien": ainsi une télévision annonçait-elle récemment une émission consacrée au design et à l'habitat. Si la formule est bien choisie, elle ne peut toutefois résumer d'un point de vue historique la naissance et l'essor de cette esthétique industrielle qui investit tous les objets de notre vie quotidienne. L'ouvrage, organisé de façon chronologique, entend offrir au lecteur les instruments nécessaires pour comprendre l'histoire du design dans son ensemble et sa complexité, entre forme et fonction, entre technique et art. Cette histoire est émaillée des créations des grands designers d'hier et d'aujourd'hui et montre comment le design, né dans les usines au service de la production de masse, est arrivé à entrer dans nos maisons comme dans les musées, et à imprimer des tendances esthétiques très marquées.

Summary:
Miles Davis's seminal recording, known as Birth of the Cool, is the starting point for this colorful, multi-disciplinary journey through 1950s West Coast America. 1950s West Coast style exuded "cool": from the smooth, hypnotic strains of a Miles Davis riff through Richard Neutra's elegant, modernist residences to the hard-edged paintings of Helen Lundeberg and Karl Benjamin. This richly illustrated volume casts a fresh eye on Fifties West Coast style with illuminating commentary from a variety of perspectives. Designed to echo the period it celebrates, this catalog explores modernist innovations in art, architecture, design, film and music. Prominent cultural critics write on an array of topics: Thomas Hine about the culture of cool; Elizabeth Smith on domestic aspects of the period's architecture; Francis Colpitt on hard-edged abstract painting; Dave Hickey on jazz, and Bruce Jenkins on the crossover between animation and experimental film. The result is a multi-faceted exploration of the 1950s West Coast zeitgeist in all its color, creativity, and cool.
