An exquisite photography book featuring the collaborative work of
fashion photographer Tom Kublin and renowned haute couture designer
Cristóbal Balenciaga. This is the first book to document the short
yet prolific artistic career of fashion photographer and filmmaker
Tom Kublin, and a celebration of his creative union with Cristóbal
Balenciaga during the fashion house’s postwar heyday in Paris. More
than 140 photographs and film stills by Kublin capture the golden
age of Balenciaga couture in the 1950s and 1960s, from the
impeccable elegance of the collection shoots – including exclusive
film footage of Balenciaga himself at work – to striking covers and
editorials for high-profile magazines.The book begins with a
foreword by the photographer’s daughter, María Kublin, and
continues with a biography by Ana Balda, charting Kublin’s career,
his place in the artistic milieu of the European avant-garde, and
his working relationship with Cristóbal Balenciaga. Miren Vives,
head of the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum, also contributes.
Additional texts come from the fashion industry professionals who
worked with and knew Kublin best: an interview with his partner and
muse, the model Katinka Bleeker, memories from the Italian fashion
photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri, who began his career as Kublin’s
assistant in Paris in the 1960s, and a piece by Lydia Slater,
editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar UK, who looks back on Kublin’s
work for the magazine at a pivotal time in its history.Honouring
the successes and innovations of Tom Kublin’s stellar career, this
book records for posterity his contribution to fashion photography
and to the iconography of the House of Balenciaga.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
