Book Description
Paris has been the international capital of fashion for more than 300 years. Even before the rise of the haute couture, Parisians were notorious for their obsession with fashion, and foreigners eagerly followed their lead. From Charles Frederick Worth to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, Christian Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent, fashion history is dominated by the names of Parisian couturiers. But Valerie Steele's Paris Fashion is much more than just a history of great designers. This fascinating book demonstrates that the success of Paris ultimately rests on the strength of its fashion culture – created by a host of fashion performers and spectators, including actresses, dandies, milliners, artists, and writers. First published in 1988 to great international acclaim, this pioneering book has now been completely revised and brought up to date, encompassing the rise of fashion's multiple world cities in the 21st century. Lavishly illustrated, deeply learned, and elegantly written, Valerie Steele's masterwork explores with brilliance and flair why Paris remains the capital of fashion.

Book Description
“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast,” Ernest Hemingway once said. Bénédicte Burguet-Journé explores the perennial question of what is it about Paris that makes it so unique, so inspiriting, and attractive for creatives from all around the world. The book presents a series of leisurely interviews with leading fashion designers: Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Maroussia Rebecq, Kym Ellery, Bruno Frisoni, Jean Paul Gaultier, Martin Grant, Guillaume Henry, Journ/né, Christelle Kocher, Rabih Kayrouz, Julie de Libran, Roland Mouret, Vanessa Seward, Junko Shimada, Alexandre Vauthier. In the prologue, Olivier Saillard muses about the impact fashion has had on the city’s urban canvas, and how it all started with an Englishman. In the epilogue, Sarah Andelman, former founder and artistic director of the infamous Parisian shop colette, pays tribute to the light and sense of freedom that goes hand in hand with the Parisian spirit.

Book Description
This portrait of the forerunners of the famed philosophes is an “impressive and challenging reevaluation of the 16th-century origins of the Enlightenment” (Sixteenth Century Journal). In this book, George Huppert introduces a group of talented young men, some of them teenagers, who were the talk of the town in Renaissance Paris. They called themselves philosophes, they wrote poetry, they studied Greek and mathematics—and they entertained subversive notions concerning religion and politics. Classically trained, they wrote, nevertheless, in French, so as to reach the widest possible audience. These young radicals fostered a succession of disciples who expressed confidence in the eventual enlightenment of humankind—and whose ideas would bear fruit two centuries later.
