Soy Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, diseñadora, una de las musas de la Movida, marquesa de Castelldosríus, baronesa de Santa Pau y grande de España.

Me encanta trabajar y hacer planes. Mi marca tiene éxito desde hace más de treinta años. Mis diseños se reconocen en todo el mundo y han desfilado en las mejores pasarelas. Creo que en casi todas las casas ha habido algún producto con un corazón fucsia o alguna flor creados por mí.

Soy feminista. Fui una de las responsables para acabar con la ley que discriminaba a la mujer frente al varón en la sucesión de los títulos nobiliarios...

Le dernier matin, Karl Lagerfeld est mort seulement accompagné de Sébastien, son bodyguard et homme de confiance avec qui il dînait en tête-à-tête presque chaque soir. Lors de la cérémonie funèbre, défilèrent Bernard Arnault et les frères Wertheimer, Caroline de Monaco et Inès de la Fressange, les premières des ateliers de couture Chanel et de jeunes mannequins. L’empereur de la mode avait exigé de disparaître en cendres, avec cette « panoplie » si reconnaissable – lunettes noires et catogan – qui servait de rempart à ses secrets. C’est seulement maintenant que les témoins parlent.

Carrie Bradshaw’s pairing of a tutu with a tank top is one of the most iconic outfits ever seen on television – and a look that turned avant-garde New York designer and stylist Patricia Field into a household name. But before she was crowned the fairy godmother of haute couture, Field was the owner of the longtime East Village emporium Pat Field, a haven for drag queens, club kids, starving artists, NYU freshmen, and creative visionaries alike.

"Was ich tue? Na, ich lebe!" – warum es nie zu spät ist, sich noch einmal neu zu erfinden. Mit siebzig über Nacht berühmt: Günther Krabbenhöft steht gewohnt elegant auf einem Berliner U-Bahnhof, als ein Tourist ein Foto von ihm macht und es später ins Netz stellt.

Eine japanische Modefirma fliegt sogar umgehend nach Berlin, um ihn für ihren Katalog zu shooten.

« Je veux être ce qu'il va arriver. » - Coco Chanel Ces quatre syllabes évoquent immédiatement la mode, la femme et Paris !

It’s the 1990s: Britpop is dominating the charts, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell stare out from the cover of every glossy magazine and British fashion is ripe for reinvention. Leading the charge is a twenty-something Mary Portas who has been brought in to revitalise the department store Harvey Nichols, at the time more likely to be associated with dowagers than daring designers.

As VIBE’s founding fashion editor and a CNN correspondent, Michaela Angela Davis has been at the forefront of cultural shifts, working alongside figures like Diana Ross, Prince, and Beyoncé. Her memoir is a celebration of Black media’s vibrant history and a critical examination of its challenges and erasure in mainstream narratives. In Tenderheaded, Davis journeys back through her career as both a celebration and an interrogation of Black media, exploring the difficult truth of how historically Black media titles and brands have had such mighty, culture-shifting starts, then disappeared.

Throughout his life, clothes have provided an outlet through which journalist Teo van den Broeke understands both himself and the world around him. From the blue princess dress he coveted as a child, that first led him to question whether he was ‘normal’, through to the Nike cap and Gucci loafers he wore to impress the men he first desired, fabric has long enveloped and shaped his formative moments. Using the wardrobe of his past as a lens through which to explore the myriad trials and tribulations of adolescence, The Closet charts Teo’s growth from uncertainty to self-acceptance.

From busking with Andrew Loog Oldham before he managed the Rolling Stones, to being invited to stay with Sharon Tate the night of the Manson murders, to being (with her daughter and Lynne Franks) the inspiration for Absolutely Fabulous, Tanya is one of those people who seems to have fitted more into one life than most of us would fit into nine. Above all though she is that still all too rare thing, a female entrepreneur who achieved true global success solely as a result of her own hard work and talent and entirely on her own terms.

When Peta Mathias dug through the clothes she had stored away for 20 years in her shed, she realised it was full of valuable, beautiful items that were crying out to be worn again: ‘Fashion is mysterious, irresistible and alluring...they are not just frocks—they are beauty, art, history, emotion, memory, identity and, above all, joy.’ From this arose a new appreciation of buying well but cannily, so your clothes will not bankrupt you nor go out of fashion.

Et puis un pli précis pas un godet ni une fronce qui sont bâtards, qui sont là par hasard."
