In forty years of activity, the Diesel brand has managed to construct a world that communicates values of rebellion, nonconformity, and individuality. This book celebrates Diesel's irreverence and innovation in the rejection of the often overly serious vernacular that surrounds denim. Diesel s denim has really been the gateway into a much wider and larger lifestyle arc, masterminded by Renzo Rosso. Denim is the fabric of Diesel, but in between the warp and weft of those threads, what Diesel really communicates is something that goes far beyond the physical garment. In addition to shooting and recontextualizing the archives, the volume also looks at the present, on how the denim permeates and punctuates Diesel's world today, concluding with the exciting output from Diesel Red Tag as more and more collaborators (Shayne Oliver, Glenn Martens, and more to come) are added to the fold. This volume is not an academic study, nor is it a chronological retelling of Diesel's history in denim. It is a tongue-in-cheek compendium about Diesel's denim universe. New images shot by four different photographers are interspersed with archival visual material, campaigns, and editorials.

In April 1994, Supreme opened it's doors on Lafayette Street in downtown Manhattan and became the home of New York City skate culture.

The influence of the idealistic French architect Claude Parent (1923-2016) extends far beyond the legacy he left in iconic commercial and residential built works such as the Villa Drusch in Versailles (1963), the church of Sainte-Bernadette du Banlay in Nevers (1966), and GEM shopping centre in Sens (1970). Movement was at the heart of Parent's vision, and is nowhere more evident than in his drawings, many of which are published in this book for the first time drawings which, according to Frank Gehry, are extraordinary beautiful fantasies, full of poetry, and which Edwin Eathcote, writing for the Financial Times, described as breathtaking in their ambition they not only presage Daniel Libeskind and Zaha Hadid, they arguably surpass them. Parent's work manifests the oblique function theory he developed with Paul Virilio in 1963, that dictates that buildings should feature slopes, be wall-free where possible and have a predominance of space over surface. Featuring contributions by some of today's most renowned architects, this long-overdue publication is a must-have for students of architecture and architects alike. Including initial sketches for his best known buildings and never-before-seen drawings of unbuilt works, Claude Parent: Visionary Architect reveals the genius of a man who unquestionably changed the history of architecture.

Filled with a blend of previously unpublished photographs of Legapi's creations as well as new images of Owens work, this stunning volume tells the story of the designer's subversive sensibility. An essay by Andre Leon Talley and interviews with Patti Labelle, Paul Stanley, Valerie Legaspi, and Pat Cleveland offer a intimate glimpse into Legaspi's world.

Perché la maggioranza degli italiani ha appoggiato e/o sopportato Silvio Berlusconi per tanti anni? Non ne vede gli appetiti, i limiti e i metodi? Risposta: li vede eccome. (Anche) per questo, spiegare il personaggio ai connazionali è una perdita di tempo. Ciascuno di noi ha un'idea, raffinata in anni di indulgenza o idiosincrasia, e non la cambierà. Ogni italiano si ritiene depositario dell'interpretazione autentica e discuterla è inutile. Utile è invece provare a spiegare Berlusconi ai posteri: un giorno si chiederanno cosa è successo in Italia. Nella pancia della nazione si muovono tanti elementi: umanità e opportunismo, cautela e astuzia, distrazione e confusione, fantasia e ottimismo. Chi sa interpretarli e utilizzarli può andare lontano. Anzi: c'è già andato. Questo libro è un viaggio. La guida è acuta e incisiva, generosa di notizie, dettagli e informazioni, pronta a far discutere destra e sinistra. Un Severgnini in gran forma, che non rinuncia alla consueta ironia su se stesso e gli altri, ma deciso a farci riflettere sulle nostre scelte e sul cammino che tracciamo per i nostri figli.
