The Louis Vuitton label was founded by Vuitton in 1854 in Paris. In 1858, Vuitton introduced his flat-topped trunks with Trianon canvas, making them lightweight and airtight. Louis Vuitton's graphic symbols, including quatrefoils and flowers (as well as the LV monogram), were based on the trend of using Japanese Mon designs in the late Victorian era. The company is still known for its signature monogram bags today. Louis Vuitton has evolved into one of the world's most celebrated fashion houses - synonymous with classic design, elegance, luxury and quality. Louis Vuitton - beloved by the great, the good and the uber glamorous - boasts an instantly recognisable signature style all of its own. This book, beautifully illustrated with images of some of the world's iconic fashion items, charts the story of Louis Vuitton's origins and how the brand became the influential, innovative haute-couture power house it is today.

" In the first comprehensive book on his work, designer Tom Dixon reveals the inspiration behind his work of the last 30 years. In his own words, and with hundreds of comparative illustrations, this self-taught designer illuminates the often surprising ideas behind his finished pieces. Dixon transforms notions of plumpness observed in a painting of an overfed pig into an overstuffed sofa; or a fishpan from a Chinese supermarket literally into the seat of a chair; gigantic concrete sea defences on the coast of Japan become the distinctive shape of his famous stacked Jack Light."--Site web de l'éditeur.

Democratizing Luxury explores the interplay between advertising and consumption in modern Japan by investigating how Japanese companies at key historical moments assigned value, or "luxury," to mass-produced products as an important business model. Japanese name-brand luxury evolved alongside a consumer society emerging in the late nineteenth century, with iconic companies whose names became associated with quality and style. At the same time, Western ideas of modernity merged with earlier artisanal ideals to create Japanese connotations of luxury for readily accessible products. Businesses manufactured items at all price points to increase consumer attainability, while starkly curtailing production for limited editions to augment desirability. Between the late nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, control over family disposable income transformed Japanese middle-class women into an important market. Growth of purchasing power among women corresponded with Japanese goods diffusing throughout the empire, and globally after the Asia-Pacific war (1931–1945). This book offers case studies that examine affordable luxury consumer items often advertised to women, including drinks, beauty products, fashion, and timepieces. Japanese companies have capitalized on affordable luxury since a flourishing domestic mercantile economy began in the Tokugawa period (1603–1868), showcasing brand-name shops, renowned artisans, and mass-produced woodblock prints by famous artists. In the late nineteenth century, personalized service expanded within department stores like Mitsukoshi, Shiseidō cosmetic counters, and designer boutiques. Shiseidō now globally markets invented traditions of omotenashi, Japanese ”values” of hospitality expressed in purchasing and consuming its products. In postwar times, when a thriving democracy and middle-class were tied to greater disposable income and consumerism, companies rebuilt a growing consumer base among cautious shoppers: democratizing luxury at reasonable prices and maintaining business patterns of accessibility, high quality, and exemplary service. Nationalism amid economic success soon blended with myths of unique Japanese identity in a mass consumer society, suffused by commodity fetishism with widely available brand names. As the first comprehensive history of iconic Japanese name brands and their unique connotations of luxury and accessibility in modern Japan and elsewhere, Democratizing Luxury explores company histories and reveals strategies that lead customers to consume these alluring commodities.

Jean-Philippe Delhomme, famed Paris-based illustrator, painter and cultural writer, knows his way around a paintbrush and has been jazzing up the likes of GQ, Wallpaper and W magazine with characterful depictions of faces, charming figures and lively street scenes for some time now. In 2015, he was asked by German newspaper Die Zeit to contribute a weekly column on Paris for their Sunday magazine. The project has now become Delhomme's newest book, A Paris Journal. This slender publication features over 60 color plates chronicling Delhomme's sensitive and humorous drawings of everyday life in Paris. From the celebrated swans in the Seine to the absurdities of the fashion-obsessed, the lighthearted illustrations offer salve to the two terrorist attacks that defined Paris in 2015. Delhomme has published several volumes of illustrated work, written a children's book, Visit to Another Planet, plus two illustrated novels, and produces animated television commercials. August Editions' past publication was Delhomme's The Happy Hipster (2013).
