New Icons of Fashion Illustration

Tony Glenville

Fashion illustration is and always has been about far more

than pretty drawings of pretty dresses. This lavish celebration
of todays leading artists in the field showcases the timeless
craft and amazing diversity that characterize the genre.
From David Downton to Cecilia Carlstedt and from
Jason Brooks to Jordi Labanda, 28 masters of fashion
illustration from across the world are featured, one by one,

some illustrators create daringly bold graphics, others prefer
delicate watercolours and ink drawings. Throughout the
volume, both hi-tech multimedia effects and traditional
drawing skills are given pride of place, with many of the
artists using a mixture of techniques. Lively commentary
accompanies the images, while interviews with each
illustrator provide further insight into their influences
and methods.

The Purple Book

Sensuality and Symbolism in
Contemporary Art and Illustration
Angus Hyland and Angharad Lewis

The Purple Book is a luxurious compendium of

contemporary illustration that explores fantasy,
sensuality, and the erotic imagination. It highlights
visual art and the written word as media for
representing human desires relationship with the
dream-state, make-believe, and symbolism.
The title of the book is inspired by The Yellow Book,
the periodical published in the 1890s and initially art
directed by Aubrey Beardsley. While the color yellow
represented the daringly salacious in the 1890s,
today the color purple is synonymous with opulence
and sensuality.
Angus Hyland is a graduate of the Royal College of Art and a partner
at Pentagram Design London. His work for Laurence King includes
(with Roanne Bell) Hand to Eye (2003), The Picture Book (2010) and,

Walk the Line

The Art of Drawing
Marc Valli and Ana Ibarra

Drawing has always been a fundamental skill and

good drawing skills allowed artists to grasp the
reality around them. At the turn of the millennium,
however, the general impression was that with the wide
availability of computers, scanners, digital cameras
and image software, drawing would dwindle into a
marginal activity. In fact, the opposite happened: the
enthusiasm for digital imagery died down and the
ability to draw has become a treasured skill.
Walk the Line: The Art of Drawing includes
interviews with the artists about their relationships
with technology and the conditions under which their
works are shown and sold.
Marc Valli is the co-founder of retail and book-selling company
Magma in the UK, and of visual art magazines Graphic and
Elephant. He is the author of RGB (Reviewing Graphics in Britain)
and co-author of Microworlds (Laurence King).

Ana Ibarra graduated in Philosophy in Spain, where she was
born. She came to London to study Product Design. She is currently
one of the editors of Elephant magazine.

The Renaissance in Europe

Margaret L. King

In this deft recasting of the Renaissance story,

Margaret L. King weaves together the many strands
that made up this complex cultural movement. By
marrying the best of earlier scholarship with more
recent research, King shows how Renaissance history
is today as much about the study of power, wealth,
gender, class, honour, shame, ritual, and other
categories of investigation as the literary and artistic
achievements of a uniquely urban society that spread
from Italy to the rest of Europe. Ultimately, she points
to the multiple ways in which this seminal epoch
influenced the later developments of Western culture
and society.
Margaret L. King, is Professor Emerita of history at Brooklyn
College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. She
is the author of several books on women, humanism, and Venice in
the Renaissance, and is currently editor-in-chief of the Renaissance
and Reformation online bibliography published by Oxford
Bibliographies.

Its a Stick-Up
20 Real Wheat Paste-ups from
the Worlds Greatest Street Artists
Ollystudio Limited

This is the first book to look at an increasingly popular

form of street art: the wheatie or wheat paste-up.
Many street artists dont graffiti or stencil any more
but use pre-prepared paper images that can be taken
down, thereby avoiding a vandalism charge.
The book will show the work of 20 artists, with
photographs of their work, an article about their
work, and a fold-out paste-up. The fold-out pages are
perforated so they can easily be removed. Some of
the paste-ups will be laser cut with attaching tags so
they can be popped out. Theres also an introductory
interview with cult street artists Sten & Lex.
Ollystudio is a London-based creative studio working in print,
film, and art direction. Books designed by Ollystudio include
Guerilla Art, Art by Tattooists: Beyond Flash for Laurence King, and
monographs of artists Paul Insect, JR, David Choe, and Vhils for the
Lazarides Gallery. Ollystudio authored and designed The Street Art
Stencil Book (2010) and Stencil Republic (2012).
Contains 20 artworks by some of the
worlds most talented street artists: just tear
them out and paste them up anywhere
Highly original concept: the first book to
examine this form of street art
Features interviews with each artist
and images of the paste-up in situ
Innovative follow-up to

Detail in Contemporary
Bar and Restaurant Design
Drew Plunkett and Olga Reid

Bars and restaurants need to be assertive. Customers

tend not to visit them to satisfy basic appetites for food
or drink but for the social opportunities. Their interiors
need to occupy the imagination of their customers and
to whet the appetite for a return visit. The design that
gets the formula right will do as much to prolong the
life of the business as the products on offer.
This book includes a wide range of international
projects and for each one there is a descriptive text, color
photographs, floor plans, sections and construction, and
decorative details. A bonus CD-ROM contains all the
drawings as printed in the book, in both EPS and DWG
(generic CAD) formats.
Drew Plunkett was Head of the Department of Interior Design at the
Glasgow School of Art. He is the author of Drawing for Interior Design
(2009), Construction and Detailing for Interior Design (2010) and coauthor, with Olga Reid, of Detail in Contemporary Retail Design (2012).
