Badgley Mischka

This lavish volume is the first to celebrate the designs of duo Mark Badgley and James Mischka, the authorities on the evening dress. After meeting at Parsons School of Design in New York and embarking on separate apprenticeships at major fashion houses, Mark Badgley and James Mischka joined forces to form Badgley Mischka in 1988. By the time Winona Ryder walked the red carpet at the 1996 Academy Awards in their gown encrusted in crystal and pearl beads, the design duo had become synonymous with elegant and luxurious evening dresses. Informed by a streamlined 1940s Hollywood silhouette while employing exquisite beads crafted in India, Badgley Mischka have become the arbiters of old Hollywood glamour. Their commitment to classic American beauty continues to reign on the red carpet today. As Mark and James say, “glamour always works.” Badgley Mischka follow in the great haute-couture tradition of legendary fashion houses such as Christian Dior and Adrian, who continue to inspire them season after season. These pages showcase the long-celebrated silhouettes—skinny beaded dresses, fishtail and ball gowns, and cocktail dresses—inspired by the masters of a bygone era. Embellished modern evening gowns imbued with the allure of Hollywood’s golden age have been Badgley Mischka’s signature voice for more than twenty-five years, and this book is a celebration of the evening dress in all its shimmering glory.

Badgley Mischka is a fashion book. This book contains the latest designer fashion clothes of brand Badgley Mischka. These are trendy fashionable dresses.

'I've long wished perfumery to be taken seriously as an art, and for scent critics to be as fierce as opera critics, and for the wearers of certain "fragrances" to be hissed in public, while others are cheered. This year has brought Perfumes: The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, which I breathed in, rather than read, in one delighted gulp.' Hilary Mantel, Guardian Perfumes: The Guide is the culmination of Turin's lifelong obsession and rare scientific flair and Sanchez's stylish and devoted blogging about every scent that she's ever loved and loathed. Together they make a fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of perfume-making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this honest, compelling or downright entertaining.

Designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka started their label Badgley Mischka in 1988, and ever since, Hollywood has embraced and championed the glamorous confections they create--gowns imbibed with a feeling of old Hollywood with a modern twist. In 1993, Badgley Mischka joined forces with Escada, a financial boost which took them to the next level as they launched the Badgley Mischka bridal collection, giving every woman the opportunity to have a red carpet moment. The Iconix brand group acquired the company in 2004, and the label subsequently flourished to become a true lifestyle brand. Since introducing a line of sportswear in 2007 and lines of swimwear and footwear in 2008, Badgley Mischka's celebrity fans are now effortlessly chic from head to toe, day to night, and red carpet to poolside. The design duo continues to bring an elegant allure to every aspect of a well-heeled life.

The quintessential guide to the one hundred most glorious perfumes in the world.

The Little Book of Perfumes focuses on just one hundred masterpieces of perfume: ninety-six five-star perfumes from the original book, as well as four "museum" perfumes-legendary scents that are preserved in the Versailles Osmothèque. This stunningly produced petite volume offers lovers of perfume the best of the best-a perfect gift book for anyone looking either for a brilliant fragrance or an intelligent, witty read.
