Synonymous with high-octane glamour, opulent sexuality, and fearless fashion, Tom Ford is an iconic designer whose namesake label has devout followers across the globe, from Milan and New Delhi to Shanghai and New York. Seventeen years after his best-selling debut book Tom Ford (2004), which detailed his time as creative director for the Italian label Gucci, this second volume is a visual ode to Ford’s eponymous brand created in 2005 and encompasses cosmetics, eyewear, menswear, and his critically acclaimed womenswear line.The revered designer not only catapulted his brand to the highest echelons of the fashion world–receiving accolades from the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Time magazine’s Best Designer of the Year–but also commanded the attention of Hollywood by featuring loyal A-list fans such as Julianne Moore, Lauren Hutton, Pat Cleveland, and Nicholas Hoult in his runway shows and advertising campaigns. This gorgeous slipcased volume includes dazzling imagery of Ford’s clothing and accessories designs, fashion editorials featuring top models such as Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls, Mica Argañaraz, and Jon Kortajarena, and his signature sexually-charged advertising campaigns by photographers such as Inez ‘Vinoodh, Nick Knight, Steven Meisel, and Mert & Marcus.This volume, printed with Forest Stewardship Council approved materials and edited by Ford personally, reflects his exceptional taste and unapologetic sensual aesthetic and is a true collector’s item for his devotees and connoisseurs of fashion, style, and design.

Surfing is a way of life. A life dominated by the waves and the tide with a cozy place to pause in between. Creative personalities crafting bold homes, Surf Shacks illustrates how surfers live both on and off shore. Many abodes can fall under the label of surf shack: New York City apartments, cabins nestled next to national parks, or tiny Hawaiian huts. Surfing communities are overflowing with creativity, innovation and rich personas. Surf Shacks takes a deeper look at surfers' homes and artistic habits. Glimpses of record collections, strolls through backyard gardens, or a peek into a painter’s studio provide insight into surfers’ lives both on and off shore. From the remote Hawaiian nook of filmmaker Jess Bianchi to the woodsy Japanese paradise that the former CEO of Surfrider Foundation in Japan, Hiromi Masubara, calls home to the converted bus that Ryan Lovelace claims as his domicile and his transport, every space has a unique tale. The moments that these vibrant personalities spend away from the swell and the froth are both captivating and nuanced. Through anecdotes and photographs, illustrations and conversations, Surf Shacks reveals a more personal side to surfing and its eclectic cast of characters.

”Eow dig, har du ik' shuffet den her endnu! ”Igennem de sidste 10 år har den urbane ungdomskultur bevæget sig fra en lille subkultur, der primært har eksisteret i lukkede miljøer, kældre og tunneller, til én af de mest dominerende ungdomskulturelle strømninger, der er med til at præge det talte sprog gennem musik, film og litteratur. GADEDANSK ORDBOGEN er en omfattende afdækning af det gadesprog, som er blevet populariseret igennem de sidste 10 år af artister som Gilli, Stepz, Branco, Sivas og Jamaika. Artister som i samme periode, har bevæget sig fra undergrunden til den absolutte top af den danske musikindustri.

GADEDANSK ORDBOGEN beskriver mere end 1.000 ord, udtryk og vendinger med oprindelse, bøjninger, ordklasse, udtale, eksempler og et omfattende opslagsregister, så du altid kan finde præcis det ord, du lige gik og manglede i din hverdag. GADEDANSK ORDBOGEN er samtidig en hyldest til den kultur, som har formået at fortolke internationale trends til en dansk kontekst og gøre dem relevante for ungdommen på en appellerende måde.

"Held & Lykke Med At Komme Hjem"

LIMITED AMOUNT OF SIGNED COPIES.

På 'Held & Lykke Med at Komme Hjem' møder vi den evigt dualistiske Ardit der veksler mellem at kritisere og hylde sig selv, og samtidigt beviser hans helt unikke evne til at træde udenfor sin musikalske 'comfortzone' og lykkes med det. Albummet præsenterer en række både mere og mindre forventelige gæster med alt fra KESI til FRAADS, det unge stjerneskud Josva og et af Danmarks pt mest hypede hip hop talenter, Lamin. En stor portion af albummet er produceret af hans efterhånden faste producer 'følgesvende' Anton Westerlin og Adam Hillebrandt.

One of electronic music’s most intriguing and often outspoken characters, DJ Sprinkles aka Terre Thaemlitz moved to Japan from the US in 2001 and as Resident Advisor report the mix is his own sonic reaction to Japan’s worrying “Fuzoku” laws, which allows Police to enter and raid clubs for the “crime” of dancing. A recent Time Out Tokyo article highlighted how “venues routinely post ‘No dancing’ signs, with some even sending staff onto the floor to ask customers to stop moving to the music,”. Thaemlitz deeply dug tracklist boasts an esoteric assortment of rarities from a collection of underground ’90s house figures including Fingers Inc, Gene Farris, Lectroluv, Braxton Holmes and Classic Man. Russian deep house producer Alex Danilov and the now defunct MyMy collaboration between Nick Höppner and Lee Jones lend a more contemporary feel to the mix.

Genre: RnB/urban

Elias Boussnina may be better known by his former alias Yung Coke, but not for much longer. Over percussion infused, hard-hitting, electro-synth beats, his heartfelt vocals are a breath of fresh air with relatable lyrics, smooth harmonies and a gorgeous falsetto which together equals scintillating R&B that the world needs to hear.

This deck of cards has been put together using four different sets (one for each suit) made by Russian criminals in prisons during the 1980s. Prohibited by the prison authorities, they were constructed from innocuous materials procured from the everyday routine of prison life, their unique designs skillfully manipulated so that they could be read.
The respect commanded by any criminal was directly related to his ability to play, and win, at cards. Being "lucky" at cards was also seen as a good omen (even if the winner cheated, as this practice is acceptable within the thieves' world). A thief could stake anything in a card game, a finger, an arm, the life of another inmate, or even his own. If he lost, the debt had to be paid immediately. The penalty for defaulting was expulsion, a forcibly applied tattoo or, in some cases, death.
Mostly confiscated and destroyed by the authorities, original decks are difficult to obtain and often incomplete. The authentic designs reproduced here have been taken from original cards collected over the last ten years by the authors. A standard Russian deck contains only 36 cards. This pack has been adapted to make a complete standard Western deck of 52 cards and 2 jokers, making them suitable for any game.
