KATE MOSS: THE MAKING OF AN ICON
A fascinating, in-depth look at the iconic and enigmatic Kate Moss, perhaps the most famous fashion model in the world An icon and a phenomenon - both a muse and a canvas for many of the fashion industry’s greatest creative visionaries - the remarkable Kate Moss has endured as a bellwether of fashion and pop culture. For years, her image in magazines, on billboards, and on the screen has influenced how women see themselves and their bodies, while setting societal standards for beauty. Her every step is still followed avidly in the tabloids, and her mercurial image can seemingly sell anything, from popular electronics to global luxury brands such as Calvin Klein, Longchamp, Dior, Chanel, and many others. In Kate Moss, author Christian Salmon explores how “the twig” became the Myth. Insightfully unravelling the mystery that is Moss - and the look and persona that has continually shifted and changed in perfect sync with the zeitgeist - Kate Moss is striking for its compelling read, beautifully enhanced with breathtaking images of the model throughout her career.

OAK
Stephen Taylor came across the 250-year-old tree while on a walk in Essex. He painted the same oak scores of times over a period of three years, in extremes of weather and light, at all times of day and night. Oak is nature’s creed of endurance and of one man’s promise to find beauty in a painful world. Is painting the same oak tree in a field in Essex, England dozens of times over a period of three years in extremes of weathe rand light an act of artistic obsession, or an exercise in truly learning to see, to understand nature in its greatest detail, or just plain nuts? This is one of the many questions raised by Oak, a collection of paintings painstakingly created by British artist Stephen Taylor, whose single-minded pursuit was made famous in Alain de Botton’s book The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work (Pantheon, 2009). Other than gallery shows in Cambridge and London, two small selfpublished catalogs, and a website, these exquisitely detailed paintings have never been collected in book format. The result is a book that is both a meditation on nature and a tour-de-force of artistic technique. Oak
