More than a fashion muse―she was a cultural icon whose style defined an era, and her legacy continues to influence new generations.

Los reportajes de moda que realizó Joana Biarnés, la primera fotoperiodista española, que muestran la evolución de la moda y de la sociedad en una época de cambios trascendentales, desde el final de la década de 1950 hasta principios de la de 1970. Pionera en la fotografía de moda, contó con la colaboración destacada de la periodista Rosana Ferrero. Joana se ocupaba del estilismo, de elegir a las modelos y las temáticas de muchos de sus reportajes y editoriales, y consiguió a menudo marcar tendencia. De esta forma, se convirtió en la cronista regular y sistemática de la evolución radical que se produjo en la indumentaria, del clasicismo de la alta costura a la informalidad del prêt-à-porter. Biarnés trató la moda con la misma proximidad y sinceridad con que abordaba el resto de los temas que documentaba. En un ámbito dado a la fantasía y la sofisticación, Joana situó a menudo las modelos en la calle, con naturalidad, sin buscar escenarios fastuosos o extravagantes y captó como nadie en cada imagen la esencia de su tiempo.

Julia Morgan was truly a pioneer of her time—among other accomplishments, she was the first woman architect to be licensed in California, in 1904. Through her remarkable life and legacy, this book celebrates the Beaux-Arts architecture of California. Focusing on Morgan’s most famous project in the state, Hearst Castle, to which she devoted more than 30 years of her life, this volume also examines, for the first time, Morgan’s fabulous early buildings in the style. Morgan designed more than 700 buildings across California, many of which are designated landmarks today. Deepening the reader’s understanding of California archi-tecture, this book also places into context Morgan’s ambitions, her influences and inspirations, as well as her daily practice and challenges as a woman shaping an extraordinarily prolific and highly successful career in a man’s world. To better understand the Beaux-Arts training Morgan underwent in Paris, the reader is taken through the challenging, highly arduous Ecole des Beaux-Arts curriculum, which Morgan completed, a lone woman among men. Also explored, in detail, is the story of how the studio and kilns of California Faience, a Berkeley ceramic artisan’s shop, became the supplier of tens of thousands of tiles designed by Morgan and overseen by Hearst himself to decorate their architectural master-piece overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
