Her bags, such as the iconic 2.55, which was first introduced in February 1955 and is still considered one of the most coveted handbags in the world, are not only a fashion object, but also a symbol of timeless elegance and practical luxury.

• The first book dedicated to recurring fashion phenomena
• Indispensable for all those interested in fashion
• Includes interviews with renowned fashion historians and sociologists
• Inspiration for every fashion taste: from crop tops to pleated skirts to complete denim looks

One fashion sin is another trend part. Opinions about tapered pants, shoulder pads and leopard prints may differ, but the fact is that (almost) every trend in fashion comes back at some point. So it's hardly surprising that THE pants of the 1980s - nowadays called mom jeans - are celebrating a grandiose comeback and that other parts that were thought to have long since been buried in the fashion graveyard are also experiencing amazing revivals. But how does this resurgence of past trends come about in the first place and how can you predict when a piece will be hip again?

Déjà Vu Style is dedicated to these special pieces, illuminating their history, showing celebrities who shaped the style and explaining their comeback. From the 1960s miniskirt, to the 70s crochet dress, to the 90s platform soles, to the 2000s Y2K trend, they're all brought together in this informative and entertaining fashion book. Fashion historians and vintage fashion experts provide additional exciting background knowledge. The current topic of green fashion is also taken up here, because nothing counteracts the phenomenon of fast fashion more sustainably than wearing rediscovered old fashion treasures from your mother or grandma.

What would the fashion world be without denim? The robust cotton fabric is without doubt one of the timeless materials in the fashion circus. Whether as trousers, dresses, for shoes or accessories, denim finds its justification everywhere. With the coffee-table book It's All About Denim, Suzanne Middlemass pays tribute to this unique circumstance and dedicates an entire book in her street style series to the blue all-rounder. The aesthetic images convey the casual look that is achieved specifically through jeans fashion. The well-known fashion photographer Suzanne Middlemass regularly publishes her street style and backstage photographs in well-known fashion and lifestyle magazines such as VOGUE, Elle, GQ and Grazia. Her work is also part of an international exhibition featuring the work of 50 female street style photographers. With her It's All About series, the artist now sorts her best shots thematically for the first time. Whether denim, animal print or dresses, Suzanne presents a varied portfolio for the respective different approaches to fashion.

The long-awaited sequel to the “It's all about” series

Accessories are the secret weapons of the fashion world. With their help, complete outfits can be stylistically supported, transformed or complemented. A color-coordinated scarf, a beautiful belt or a skilfully placed pair of sunglasses can be perfectly used to create an “it” accent or transform a fashion classic into a surprisingly fresh look.

She invites readers to the world's biggest fashion shows and captures influencers, fashion icons, stars, designers and visitors to the shows in her refreshing street style style. Each coffee table book in the illustrated book series is dedicated to a specific theme.

However, Middlemass doesn't just want to show its readers beautiful pictures of unusual shoes, handbags, belts, scarves and jewelry. The photographs captivate with sometimes daring looks and give fashion enthusiasts bold impulses that have what it takes to become a fashion trend in the context of Fashion Week.

Suzanne Middlemass has already won her fans with her countless publications in well-known fashion and lifestyle magazines such as VOGUE, Grazia and GQ.

Black isn't a color?

In the world of coveted fashion brands, it certainly is, and one of the most crucial at that. That's why authors Heide Christiansen and Martin Fraas have dedicated the second installment of their "Fashion, Styles & Stories" series to the theme of black. In "The Black Book: Fashion, Styles & Stories," they showcase how expressive and powerful this color can be in the context of fashion. Black caresses, exudes elegance, and simultaneously embodies rebellion. The black sheath dress harmoniously coexists with the black biker jacket, demonstrating the versatility of this color.

"This coffee table book is a visually stunning tribute and the only one available on the life and work of Jeanne Lanvin, perfect for fashion lovers and readers interested in strong female personalities." — Amica. "One of the most entertaining and fascinating books to come out this season" — Hollywood Times. Jeanne Lanvin was ahead of her time. The French fashion visionary and imaginative businesswoman from a poor background not only created the first designer fashion line for children - this was colorful and full of lightness, at a time when children were still dressed like adults - the first tailored men's collection and the first unisex eau de toilette, she also founded the longest-running fashion company in the world. This at times employed over 1000 people and included women's, children's and men's fashion, accessories, fragrances, furnishing textiles and decorative objects, and even its own paint factory. The self-taught Lanvin started as a hat maker with her own boutique and managed to become one of the greatest fashion designers of the 20th century with creative energy and inventiveness. She created art deco costumes for theater and film productions, developed the legendary perfume Arpège and a special Lanvin blue, based on the shade Fra Angelico blue. This richly illustrated coffee table book is dedicated to the extraordinary life and work of this exceptional designer. Text in English and German.

A vivid company biography of leading furniture manufacturer Walter Knoll based on its formative figures Wilhelm, Hans, and Walter Knoll, and most recently, Markus Benz. Walter Knoll, the book, charts the one-and-a-half-century-old history of this remarkable furniture dynasty, tracing the evolution of its designs in relation to key cultural and historical developments. When the Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles was recently bought by the Federal Republic of Germany and transformed into a representative "transatlantic meeting place," it was Walter Knoll furnishings that defined its interior design and showcased German creativity and performance in arts and business. Based in Herrenberg, near Stuttgart, the 150-year-old furniture business is one of the most successful furniture companies of the modern era and a global leader in high-end furnishing manufacturing. Walter Knoll's impressively long history dates back to Wilhelm Knoll, the founding father of the Knoll dynasty, who first set up a leather shop in Stuttgart in 1865. Knoll rose from being a cobbler to the court purveyor to the House of Wurttemberg. When his sons, Willy and Walter, took over the company in 1907, they began producing chairs — introducing the first club armchair to Germany and becoming the industry's first exporter. Their advances marked a revolution in upholstered furniture. After founding his own company in the 1920s, Walter Knoll was a breakout sensation in the avant-garde interior design world with a landmark exhibition at the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart, under the direction of the Mies van der Rohe, in 1927. His son, Hans Knoll, went to the U.S. in the 1930s and himself founded his own company, Knoll Inc., and with it, re-wrote design history. In 1993, Markus Benz, the son of Rolf Benz, joined the Knoll ranks, continuing the successful cooperation with internationally-renowned architects and designers. This fascinating company story shows how the Stuttgart area, one of the strongest economic regions in the world, was also a wellspring of modern design and culture.

"Fashion is balance, with a dash of theater," was Nino Cerruti's favorite bon mot. This monograph, the most substantial on him to date, is an entertaining and gorgeously illustrated homage to the great Italian fashion designer, whose deconstructed jackets and supple fabrics revolutionized menswear in the 1960s. He took over the family business, which his father established in 1881, at the age of 20 and immediately began to make his mark. In 1965 he opened a boutique in Paris where he launched women's fashion, being the first designer to focus on pants (this at a time when many restaurants in Paris denied women entry if they were wearing pants). He dressed generations of movie stars, both on and off screen, including Jean-Paul Belmondo, Yves Montand, Catherine Deneuve, Richard Gere (wearing a Cerruti suit in Pretty Woman), Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, and Kathleen Turner, among others. This book showcases the elegant nonchalance and uncompromising creativity that went into his designs and follows his career as one of the great pioneers of 20th century fashion.

"The 1990s Fashion Book" is a tribute to the unique fashion of that time. Flashy, colourful, casual and sexy, these were the attributes that applied back then. Top models, hip-hoppers or pop groups like Take That and the Spice Girls exemplified a fashion style that triggered a boom all over the world. 

The 90s: the birth of the modern world
It is fair to say that, in retrospect, hardly any other decade has had such a formative effect on modern times as the 1990s. It is considered a decade of revolution, in which almost everything that had existed before changed at breakneck speed. This is when ground-breaking technologies such as the internet or nationwide mobile telephony came into being, without which our lives today would be unimaginable.

A look back at vintage trends and icons
Modern pop culture and current fashion design originate to a large extent from the cradle of the 90s. Sub-trends of the time such as grunge, hip-hop, minimalism, casual chic and deconstructivism are, in retrospect, what continues to have an impact today.

The Coffee Table Book "The 1990s Fashion Book" picks up all these vintage trends and brings them together in one complete work. A wonderful mix of it-pieces, key looks, hairstyles and make-up in the typical 90s look.
