Huge Hardcover (6 to 8 lbs)

Oregon

Carlo Cresti places Tuscany's villas in the context of their historical development, their relationship to urban palazzos, their forms and types, the lifestyle of the aristocratic inhabitants, and the economics that encouraged and supported them. Cresti also considers variations in all these aspects from sector to sector across the region, noting the austerity preferred by the Floretines and the fantasy as well as the magnificence embraced by the Lucchese.

Chanel's Classic Revisited

This is the new edition of Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld's reinterpretation of Chanel's iconic little black jacket, expanded by 21 new photographs. For the first edition which was awarded as on of the most beautiful books made in Germany in 2012, Lagerfeld had redesigned the jacket, transforming it into a modern, adaptable garment to be worn by both sexes of all ages. The book contains Lagerfeld's photographs of celebrities wearing the jacket with individual flair - sometimes classic, sometimes irreverent, but always Chanel - and each of the protagonists styled by Carine Roitfeld. A range of accomplished actors, musicians, designers, models, writers and directors gets the little black jacket treatment, including Claudia Schiffer, Uma Thurman, Kanye West, Tilda Swinton, Baptiste Giabiconi, Yoko Ono and Sarah Jessica Parker. The project - which is accompanied by a number of exhibitions around the world - underlines the astounding versatility of Chanel's vision in Lagerfeld's hands and ensures this specific jacket's future as a timeless classic.
