In publisher's original shrinkwrap. Without DJ as issued. Presents the complete Calvin Klein and Bruce Weber Magazine Issue-cum-Magazine Supplement/Insert. Weber's single best portfolio for Calvin Klein. It's the kind of inventive mass-media merchandising Calvin Klein pioneered and became known for generating tremendous press and consumer attention for himself and his eponymous brand influencing and revolutionizing the way the fashion industry does advertising even in our Social Media Age. The CK advertising campaign "had a seismic effect on America's social and cultural scene. Weber's photographs are part of the phenomenon they document. His advertising campaigns have come to stand for the acceptance of this imagery by the cultural mainstream. For those who can recall a time before it became acceptable for men to regard their underwear as fashion statements Weber's images must count among the most revolutionary tools yet devised in the history of consumer manipulation" The New York Times Magazine. Sexy photographs of the world's supermodels such as Christie Turlington and Marcus Schenkenberg beauties who are now iconic figures of fashion. Showcases another look perfected by the photographer and much copied by others: Racier and sexier in a cosmopolitan "metrosexual" way long before the latter term gained mass currency in contrast to the trademark "All-American" look that is identified with the Bruce Weber of "Bear Pond". An absolute "must-have" title for Bruce Weber and Calvin Klein collectors. This Calvin Klein/Bruce Weber Magazine Issue-cum-Magazine Supplement/Insert is a contemporary erotic photography classic.

Bruce Weber's "O Rio de Janeiro" perhaps the sexiest photography book ever published was selected as one of the "Seminal Photography Books of The 20th Century" in the "Book of 101 Books". One of the finest photographers of our time. A fine collectible set. SEE ALSO OTHER BRUCE WEBER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG. Conde Nast & Company paperback

193019806AB1930. n.p. 1930ties 48 : 36 cm. Four sheets with coloured aquatints partly hightened in gold Six designs for Ladies evening dresses. One plate signed Boris. While men's style changed little women's looks changed significantly over the course of the 1930s. The previous Roaring Twenties were still characterized by a new very androgynous image of women and the so-called Flapper Girl was a symbol of the independent modern woman. But in the 30s this trend changed to the complete opposite: the elegant lady was popular again. This was reflected above all in the rediscovery of the female figure. Reason for this: The woman as a caring mother and housewife was THE ideal of the time. This conservative image was also accompanied by a hyperfeminization of women. This value attitude was particularly evident in the emphasis on the high waist. unknown

Early edition of this scarce and unusually complete sample catalogue for men and young men’s suits featuring the Syracuse Parkway Collegian Kenwood Wall Street & Walton styles from Sears Roebuck & Co. These special sample catalogues were issued as supplements to their famous catalogue which were issued in millions of copies even during the Great Depression.

This catalogue provides invaluable illustrated historical reference for the colours styles and fabrics during the era of fashion influenced by the elegance and glamor of Hollywood films at the time. There is definite evidence of influence from the popular Film Noir films of the period. The men’s suits showed a trend towards padded shoulders suit lapels that were not as long and an increased weight and drape to the clothes as well as wider legs for the younger “fast†crowd.

19781003704Westport Connecticut: Here & There 1978. September 1978 issue of Here & There Francine Horn's groundbreaking fashion trend report focusing on haute couture Japanese fashion and resort wear: "The posh stuff is back in line for Fall '78." Forecasting a year in advance the pages reveal trendsetting European designs for Fall 1979 alongside their American counterparts with lively editorial commentary. The opening chapters celebrate the return of haute couture and its translation to ready-to-wear led by St. Laurent and Givenchy and inspired by Hollywood glamour Chesterfield overcoats and vintage cocktail looks. The coverage of American resort wear highlights the role of the fashion illustrator in forecasting. Because those collections were presented in private showrooms that prohibited photography Here & There charged their "much overworked illustrator Mr. Frank Spina with the prodigious task of capturing with his 'rapacious rapidograph' the highlights of these resort collections" which included designs by Bill Blass Norma Kamali Perry Ellis and Willie Smith. Both a major trade publication and a savvy ad for Francine Horn's fashion trend consultancy Here & There was an industry must-read a success due in part to her husband David Charles Horn's candid photography and provocative editorials. Like most fashion forecasting reports from the 1970s this number of Here & There is scarce in commerce and in institutional holdings. A very good example featuring original patterns and twenty original mounted textile swatches. Single volume measuring 14 x 8 inches: 123 1. Original coil-bound stiff black wrappers lettered in white.

Cases of AIDS have been reported in a majority of countries throughout the world indicating that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is international in scope.This book deals with the mathematical and statistical techniques underlying the models used to understand the population dynamics of not only HIV/AIDS but also other infectious diseases. Attention is given to the development strategies for the prevention and control of the international epidemic within the frameworks of the models. Two distinguishing features of the book are the incorporation of stochastic and deterministic formulations within a unifying conceptual framework and the discussion of issues related to the mathematical designs of models which are necessary for the rigorous utilization of computer-intensive methods. The book will be of value to applied mathematicians biomathematicians biostatisticians epidemiologists and other scientists interested in applying mathematics and computers to not only the HIV/AIDS epidemic but also other fields of epidemiology. Editorial Reviews Review ""Everyone working or wishing to work on epidemic modelling will certainly benefit from this book."" -- Mathematical Abstracts 2001<br><br>""Quantitative epidemiologists and graduate students and researchers interested in stochastic epidemic models should find this to be a helpful reference."" -- Journal of the American Statistical Association 2001<br><br>""Researchers in applied mathematics and statistics interested in stochastic epidemic models should find this a helpful reference."" -- JASA 2001<br><br>""The book is carefully written from both the mathematical and didactical points of view and supported by suggestive figures/exercises."" -- Mathematical Reviews<br><br>""The book is self-contained and well-readable. and is going to become a standard graduate text on design-based local stereology."" -- Mathematical Abstracts 1999<br><br>I believe everyone working or wishing to work on epidemic modelling will certainly benefit from this book. -- Mathematics Abstracts 2002</p> World Scientific Publishing Company hardcover
