Founded in 1913 as a leather-goods house in Milan, Prada entered the field of fashion when Miuccia Prada took the helm of the company in 1979. After initially focusing on accessories, she presented the house’s first fashion collection in 1988, quickly transforming Prada into one of the world’s most influential luxury brands. Her deeply personal, sophisticated, and subtly subversive approach often works against the clichés of beauty and sexy as she strives, in her own words, to be “more clever, or more difficult, or more complicated . . . or more new.”
 
Published in collaboration with Prada to celebrate 30 years of trend-setting creations, this volume offers a comprehensive and definitive history of the house. Organized chronologically, each of Prada’s collections is introduced by a description of its influences and highlights and is illustrated with stunning catwalk images of models such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Gisele Bündchen showcasing clothing, accessories, and beauty looks. With a biographical profile of Miuccia Prada and an extensive reference section, this handsome and well-researched retrospective reflects the passion, craftsmanship, and creative spirit that define Prada.

The most in-depth and comprehensive survey of the life and career of one of the pioneering artists of the original graffiti generation.

Having forged his graphic style painting subways in New York in the late 1970s, Futura was among the first graffiti artists to be shown in contemporary galleries in the early 1980s, where his paintings shared space with works by Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf. As the commercialization of street culture in the 1990s inspired collaborations with fashion and lifestyle brands, Futura's work moved toward a more refined expression of his abstract graffiti style. Commissions from era-defining brands such as A Bathing Ape, Stüssy, Supreme, and Mo' Wax saw his artwork canonized as an elemental component of the street aesthetic.

Travel has opened chef Bo Bech’s mind, heart and stomach to the world. In his third and most personal book Bech shares his experiences as a travelling chef with Leica at hand and as a fellow traveller on a life journey equipped with curiosity, gratitude and an abiding interest in people and their cultures. Combining photo reportage, journal notes and recipes to inspire rather than dutifully follow, The Relation Between Us is a guide from a passionate chef about what happens before the food goes on the plate.

A book about spontaneity, taking risks and experiencing the world through all your senses: tasting and smelling, touching and hearing, and, most of all, seeing. Spotting an ingredient, observing a ritual, seeing the bigger picture.

A visual feast, this is a book for anyone who loves food, be they a home cook who wants to know more about doing less in the kitchen or a professional chef open to new realms. From a dangerously addictive recipe that goes straight to the hips to a bourbon-laced barbecue sauce and a liver pâté with a secret ingredient that makes people go bananas, Bech encourages you to master simple techniques, trust your instincts and have fun. This is a book from the heart about joy, love, life and eating.

“A love letter to motion that cements Bo’s place as the poet-philosopher of the modern kitchen.”

Matt Goulding, co-founder Roads & Kingdoms

DAZED AUTUMN/WINTER 2020

After a year of seismic social, cultural and political change, the new issue of Dazed brings truth-telling figures together to ask, ‘What will the future look like?’ These voices remind us, amid the still-unfolding madness of 2020, that “your art and your words have the power to build and tear down worlds of your own making”.

On the covers, Letitia Wright reflects on the threads that bind Black British protest’s past, present and future with her searing turn in Steve McQueen’s new drama Mangrove. Persona-switching rapper Shygirl imagines new mutant fantasias for nightlife in the UK and beyond, and hip-hop wunderkind Pa Salieu digs deep to find hope with his gritty and playful dispatches from Coventry’s sonic frontlines. Finally, Chinese-Canadian actor and singer Kris Wu lights the way as Louis Vuitton’s new muse.

When the world has become so hard to predict, it might seem like a strange time to be thinking about prophecies. But, as the poet said to the fashion designer in the pages of this issue, “To be an artist is to be a soothsayer, to be someone who can look into the future, and is building for that. And I think that’s what we do.”

Please note: Only the cover of Letitia Wright is available.

The continuing adventures of Hiroshi Fujiwara, "godfather of streetwear."

Commanding the hothouse environment of Harajuku, the street fashion and culture district of Tokyo, Hiroshi Fujiwara is recognized the world over as a pioneer in streetwear, music, and art and is the ultimate arbiter of cool. Known internationally as one of the founding fathers of the 1990s Tokyo scene, Fujiwara exerts a disproportionate influence over contemporary design culture. With recent and highly successful collaborations with Louis Vuitton and Moncler, and with his mainstay work at Nike and Medicom, Fujiwara refines an aesthetic immersed in punk, hip-hop, and skate culture and translates it into pure luxury.

A musician and producer originally from western Japan, Fujiwara is one of the most prolific of sneaker designers, and his kicks remain some of the most sought-after collectibles. In addition to his very visible and long-standing collaborations with major Western brands, he has long associations with Japanese disruptors like Jun Takahashi of Undercover and is head of the Tokyo-based Fragment Design.
