Catwalking: Photographs by Chris Moore

Product Information

Founded as a luxury leather goods house in 1854, Louis Vuitton was for many decades one of the world’s leading trunk and accessories makers. The book is not solely a visual catalog in so much as it is also a narrative coauthored by a fashion historian of sorts and a fashion journalist who give us a varied story rather than just the runway images. Catwalking is a very personal and intimate chronicle, a diary, and a progressive body of work that Moore has created with his boundless supply of fashion photographs. Among these surprises, the reader will discover that Hubert de Givenchy was the first couturier whose work was celebrated by a major museum in his lifetime. Written by Alexandre Samson and Anders Christian Madsen, this is the most comprehensive catwalk book on Givenchy ever published, and is a must-have for any fan of fashion history.

Jeffrey Felner is a dedicated participant and nimble historian in the businesses of fashion and style.Scroll on to read an extract from the book, written by Samson, and discover some of the beautiful imagery featured in the tome below. Each new era in Givenchy’s history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights, illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images.

Jam packed and beautifully illustrated throughout, such a visual feast and i’m really happy with my purchase. Givenchy is celebrating its history on the catwalk with a new coffee-table book, which looks at some of the most beautiful and interesting collections to come out of the house, and also examines the fascinating inspirations behind the work of the creative directors who have taken the helm, from Alexander McQueen and Clare Waight Keller to Matthew M. He is the Fashion Features Director of AnOther magazine, and the Men's Critic of the Financial Times newspaper.This is the ultimate and only edit of Moore's work throughout his career and covering the changing face of the catwalk. He has curated exhibitions such as ‘Margiela Galliera 1989–2009’, as well as ‘Back Side, Fashion from Behind’ in Brussels and then the Musée Bourdelle. The perfect gift for a fashion lover, a house warming gift or a treat to yourself to accessorise your coffee table or empty space in your home.

After its founder’s retirement in 1995, John Galliano first took the reins of the house, before being succeeded by a young Alexander McQueen, who created his first (and only) haute couture collections for Givenchy. The reader will discover a rich and diverse creative legacy spanning seven decades, begun by Hubert de Givenchy and further enriched, since 1995, by the creative visions of six successive designers, including Matthew M. Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. The former chronicles Givenchy’s collections up until the handover to Galliano, and the latter parses out the visions of the house’s contemporary creative directors.

The kimono is the ultimate symbol of Japan, revered within the country as the embodiment of national culture and regarded internationally as an exotic fascination.
