ARQUITECTURA Y DISEÑO

Poolside with Slim Aarons offers images of jet-setters and the wealthy, of beautiful, glittering people living the glamorous life. Yet this collection of stunning photographs of the rich and well-connected “doing attractive things” in their favorite playgrounds has a twist: The main character is pools, and everything that goes with them. Pools bring with them images of magnificent, suntanned bodies; well-oiled skin; bikini-clad women; yachts; summer cocktails; sumptuous buffets; spectacular locations; and most of all: fun. Poolside is not so much a who’s who of society, aristocracy, and celebrity—although C. Z. Guest, Lilly Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs, Peter Beard, and many who have appeared in Slim's previous books are here—as it is about leisure time and how the rich make use of it. This is a more intimate peek into very private lives, to which photographer Slim Aarons was given unprecedented access in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties. This coffee table book is perfect for sharing, displaying, and gifting.

This luxuriously designed and lavishly illustrated publication is the most definitive look at the rich history of the revolutionary and iconic fashion brand built by Emilio Pucci. Featuring never-before-seen material from the brand’s archives at the Palazzo Pucci in Florence, this is the most detailed and comprehensive monograph ever published. First championed by Jacqueline Kennedy, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, and later pop icons Madonna and Kylie Minogue, the brand is known for pioneering collaborations. Many of the greatest names in fashion and art have worked with Pucci, championed by leading fashion editors Suzy Menkes, Maria Pezzi, and Diana Vreeland and photographers Peter Lindbergh, Franco Rubartelli, Mario Testino, and Inez & Vinoodh. Since 2002, daring creative directors—Christian Lacroix, Peter Dundas, Massimo Giorgetti, and most recently Camille Miceli—have been inspired by Pucci’s incredible heritage as the starting point for new creative directions.

In 1962, Rainer W. Schlegelmilch had his first experience of motorsport – the 1,000 km at the Nürburgring – and it was this that sparked a lifelong passion for both Porsche and racing that still burns today. Beginning in 1963, this wholly captivating collection of breathtaking shots transports you to another time and another world, taking you on a journey through the history of Porsche endurance racing, from Le Mans to Monza, via the Targa Florio and Spa-Francorchamps. And with his own words accompanying the pictures, Schlegelmilch shows and tells fascinating stories from track and trackside.

Booth showcases his innovative and sophisticated modern interiors, which mix a keen sense of tranquility with bold and elegant details, as well as homes renovated inside and out, and houses designed and decorated from the foundations up. Both his exteriors and interiors display a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements, resulting in an appealingly timeless aesthetic. This exquisitely designed tome presents his forward-thinking vision. The spectacular projects featured span the country from coast to coast—from a dramatic Los Angeles hillside dwelling with expansive windows to a contemporary Nashville home that marries brick, metal, and wood. For his own Provincetown seaside getaway, he has chosen an unexpected cutting-edge style. These projects show how he pushes the boundaries of design while imbuing spaces with soul.

Its work is a testament to the belief that sustainability can be synonymous with sophistication, and that the past can beautifully and intelligently inform the present.
