They play roles in the daily lives of many people as well as in significant milestones, such as births, coming-of-age ceremonies, weddings, and funerals.
Ta książka jest przede wszystkim podróżą w czasie zapisaną sercem. W zasadniczym wymiarzesą to osobiste wspomnienia Autora wzbogacone pamięcią rodziców, dziadków i pradziadków sięgając XIX a nawet XVIII wieku.

To a friend who asked for her advice about what to give the woman he loved, Mademoiselle Chanel answered without hesitation: “I know women, women adore chains, give her a chain and she will adore you.”
Adored by kings and queens, a symbol of the manufacture of ancient civilizations and the countercultures of the young, a constant inspiration for artists, stylists and designers, the chain is one of the most loved jewellery items in the history of costume. With an authoritative critical essay and awesome selection of photographs, this book traces the symbolic and aesthetic evolution of chain from early history to modern day and its intersections with art, fashion, design, craftmanship and new technologies. A fascinating and skilfully illustrated journey that shows how extraordinary jewellery, able to link the past to the future in the name of creativity, beauty and innovation, can be generated from such a simple functional element.
Śmiały i zaskakujący formą oraz rozbudowany w sferze treści barokowy ołtarz główny w kościele parafialnym pw. św. Erazma i św. Pankracego w Jeleniej Górze przyciąga uwagę widzów od pierwszego spojrzenia. Jest najcenniejszym zabytkiem kościoła miejskiego, a także swoistym theatrum sacrum, który porusza każdego, kto odwiedza jeleniogórską świątynię.
Artur Kolbiarz i Andrzej Kozieł opisują dzieło wyjątkowe, jeden z nielicznych barokowych ołtarzy, które zachowały się do naszych czasów w niemalże pierwotnym stanie. Wykonany przez znakomitych artystów: urodzonego w Oslo rzeźbiarza Thomasa Weissfeldta i głogowskiego malarza Johanna Philippa Kretschmera, ucznia Michaela Willmanna, jest wybitnym przykładem barokowej sztuki na Śląsku oraz świadectwem politycznej i religijnej rzeczywistości, która przyczyniła się do jego powstania. Znakomicie wpisuje się w ówczesną rywalizację między konfesją katolicką i luterańską.
Monografia szczegółowo przybliża historię powstania ołtarza, sylwetki jego twórców, genezę artystycznej formy i architektonicznej konstrukcji, a także analizuje program ideowy zakodowany w malarskich i rzeźbiarskich przedstawieniach. Całość dopełnia ponad sto ilustracji ukazujących niezwykłe piękno tej monumentalnej realizacji, która — dzięki pracom konserwatorskim — odzyskuje dziś dawny blask.
Dlaczego oglądamy seriale? Czy to tylko „tania rozrywka”, niewymagająca intelektualnego zaangażowania? Naszym zdaniem tak krytyczne spojrzenie na ten fenomen współczesnej kultury popularnej jest zdecydowanie upraszczające i nie oddaje ani jego złożoności, ani rzeczywistej roli, jaką odgrywa u dzisiejszych uczestników życia kulturalnego.Gdzie wobec tego tkwią przyczyny popularności seriali?Na czym polega ich edukacyjna wartość? Stawiamy te pytania w książce i zapraszamy Czytelniczki i Czytelników do wspólnych poszukiwań odpowiedzi.

Arriving in Paris from Ravenna in 1973, Paolo Roversi produced his first series of photographs in 1977, which were immediately picked up by the fashion press. From then on, he devoted himself to fashion photography, working for the greatest designers and for the most prestigious magazines, simultaneously occupying a position both at the heart of the fashion world and far from its ephemeral trends.
Ultimately in search of pure beauty, he formulates timeless and mysterious work, which is defined by his choice of studio and use of large format and Polaroid cameras. At the heart of his photography are his dedicated relationships with fashion designers and models, most famously with Yohji Yamamoto, as well as Romeo Gigli, Rei Kawakubo and Dior, and these fruitful collaborations have allowed Roversi to continuously challenge and renew his practice.
Conceived and designed in close collaboration with the photographer, and drawing on his archives, this book features many original prints, including some that have never been seen before. Spanning the entirety of Roversi’s career, it explores his approach to his creative space and the way he treats it like a theatre stage, constantly reinventing it to suit each new collaboration.

Who says lesbians can't be funny?
Explores iconic fashion items and their revolutionary impact on fashion history
Includes historical illustrations, cult advertising, and beautiful still life shots
Discusses the cultural and sociopolitical significance of fashion classics
Perfect for fashion enthusiasts and historians
When it comes to fashion, the term icon is almost invariably associated with a person: a man or, more often, a woman whose style has left a mark on the collective imagination. And yet, there are also objects that have the same extraordinary evocative power, items of clothing or accessories which, in different ways, have revolutionised the history of fashion. The birth of the Burberry trench coat, flat pumps or Givenchys little black dress were milestones after which nothing was ever the same. Each designer, label or fast-fashion manufacturer has had to come to terms with fashion icons existence, by quoting or revisiting them, or simply by copying creations that have now become classics. Some of these are even known by their original name, like the Kelly bag and Borsalino hats. Others, over the years, have also gained sociopolitical connotations (Levis jeans, for example, which were once workwear, became a symbol of the Sixties youth revolution), while others, such as Hermès scarves and Chanel No.5 perfume, continue to be status symbols. This book with historical illustrations, cult advertising and beautiful still life shots of the products featured, narrates the history and anecdotes, and tells of the famous people and intrinsic values relating to the must-have fashion items.
