 A stunning visual journey through the homes of people from around the world who have taken steps to simplify their lives and embrace the principles of slow living.

 Still invites readers to take on the philosophy of the SLOW movement: Living Sustainable. Local. Organic. And Whole. Our homes are ideally placed to support and promote this philosophy, through everything from the materials we source in construction to how we fit-out and furnish them.

This beautiful book explores the homes of twenty people from around the world – across four continents and thirteen countries – enlightening readers as to why they chose the SLOW path and how it has benefitted their lives. There is no one way, but many paths that are leading to more awareness and a greater conversation.


Still is the follow-up to Natalie Walton's highly successful first title This is Home, and once again features location photography by Chris Warnes.

Natalie Walton is a designer and creative director who is focused on a simple idea – reclaiming the true beauty of our lives. As founder of Imprint House, a design studio based in Byron Bay, Australia, she brings this philosophy to life. Together with her team, she creates genuine and atmospheric interiors, meaningful products that embrace the principles of SLOW living and emotional connections to story, for brands and businesses through her range of courses, including The Styling Masterclass. These ideas are distilled in her first book This is Home: The Art of Simple Living.

St. Moritz Chic by Dora Lardelli

9781614288534.jpg

Nestled in Switzerland's alpine Engadin Valley, St. Moritz stands on its own amidst a sea of celebrated ski resorts in that it has long maintained an elusive allure. The winter home of personalities from Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli to Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that manage to unite so many of the top names in cinema, art, and fashion all in one place, year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock's favourite haunts and the hidden parties at Badrutt's Palace where royalty goes to play, without forgetting the natural beauty, village charm and architectural mastery that define it. St. Moritz also takes readers on a majestic tour of its special events, from Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Cup, as well as the summertime Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. In St. Moritz creatives and royals share skiwassers slope-side on the sheepskin benches of El Paradiso, pause to sip champagne on long strolls around its frozen, crystalline lake and enjoy coffee and confections at the centuries old Hanselmann. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal, and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it a home away from home.

Dora Lardelli is an art director, art historian and writer. She attended the University of Basel, where she studied art, classic archaeology, Italian literature and linguistics. Dora helped cofound the Upper Engadin Cultural Archive and worked at the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz, and she was an active member in the cultural commission of the Swiss UNESCO. She currently continues to live in her hometown of Bregaglia, a valley between St. Moritz and Lake Como.

Fragile by Pedro Jarque Krebs

"My goal with these images is to raise our awareness of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, but - even more importantly - its dreadful fragility and endangerment. ' - Pedro Jarque Krebs

There are few things more fascinating than the diversity of the animal kingdom - and it's a wonder under immense threat. The latest figures estimate that 60 percent of all animal populations on our planet have been wiped out in the last 50 years. Pedro Jarque Krebs, a multi-award-winning wildlife photographer, focuses his lens on this fragile natural world to draw attention to its precarious situation. His photographs aim to break down the psychological and emotional barriers that separate us from our fellow creatures, capturing every animal - whether a bird, a reptile, or a big cat - in an atmosphere of breathtaking intimacy. Beautiful and humbling, his images give the animals their full and due dignity. They remind us that we are not the centre of the universe, and that our most important project is to protect the intricate ecosystem of which we are just a small, constituent part.

Pedro Jarque Krebs was born in 1963 in Lima, Peru, and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. One of the most celebrated photographers, his numerous awards include the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award. SELLING POINTS: Exciting texts about the animals of our planet Spectacular images from one of the most celebrated wildlife photographers in a much anticipated photo book Pedro Jarque Krebs has received more than 100 awards since 2014 120 colour images.

Prada Catwalk, The Complete Collections, by Susannah Frankel

lvpdQYxvA1Q5yvz1fUB0qtjlLSHzjEgr8haGvC-kYvkJYg``.jpeg

The first comprehensive overview of Prada's womenswear collections, from its 1988 debut to today, presented through original catwalk photography.

Founded as a luxury leather goods house in 1913 in Milan, Prada entered the field of fashion when Miuccia Prada took the helm of the family company in 1979. After initially focusing exclusively on accessories, she presented the house’s first fashion collection in 1988. She would soon transform Prada into one of the world’s most influential luxury brands with a deeply personal, sophisticated and subtly subversive approach.

This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Miuccia Prada, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images that showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs – and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway, from Naomi Campbell and Gisele to Kate Moss and Kaia Gerber. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.

Susannah Frankel is editor-in-chief of Another magazine. Previously fashion director of Grazia magazine, she was fashion editor of the Independent from 1999 to 2012. She is the author of Visionaries - Interviews With Fashion Designers and contributed to many fashion monographs and exhibition catalogues, including Dries Van Noten 1-100, Stephen Jones: Souvenirs, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty and The House of Viktor & Rolf.

Parisian Chic Encore, A Style Guide, by Ines de la Fressange and Sophie Gachet

Da3tQ6LQjv98jI4nn5oBxQdIXSx8Z6QNvPbmQXl3XBucIw``.jpeg

Ines de la Fressange, always one step ahead, shares the secrets for embodying her new style of Parisian chic.
In the decade since Ines de la Fressange wrote Parisian Chic, divulging style and shopping secrets for Francophiles and fashion lovers everywhere, readers continue to turn to her New York Times best seller — published in seventeen languages — for inspiration. Even so, she decided it’s time for a makeover. She updated her shoes and added new wardrobe staples, but she has also changed her attitude about fashion and beauty in an age where less really can be more.

Some of the core tips and addresses from the original book remain timeless, but Ines now shares her insights on how to be fashionable and eco-conscious, how to curate your closet, and how to update her signature Parisian style.

Completely revised and vastly augmented, this new book includes style "equations" that make dressing for every occasion as easy as 1 + 2 + 3, and an expanded section on accessories — brand new shoes and handbags, but also hats, scarves, belts, and glasses. Her favorite beauty products have shifted from the cosmetics counter to the kitchen, where she provides recipes for hair and skin care that are 100% organic. She debunks the myth of the so-called French manicure, and instead offers five pointers for becoming chic right down to your fingertips. She even shares insight on the French diet, which does include pastries, but market fresh vegetables, too! And if you’re looking for the perfect gift, use her guide that’s filled with oh-là-là ideas.

A fresh take on this classic style, Parisian Chic Encore is essential reading for fashion lovers and Francophiles who want to get into step with the modern Parisienne.

Model Ines de la Fressange relaunched her own brand and boutique Ines de la Fressange Paris. She is creative consultant for Roger Vivier and designs a line for Uniqlo. She coauthored Maison: Parisian Chic at Home (Flammarion, 2018) and created a line of luxury stationery products.

Sophie Gachet, a seasoned fashion journalist, is a veritable trend barometer.

Join internationally renowned fashion illustrator Megan Hess as she explores the timeless beauty and glamour of ten of France's best-loved designers in a stylish celebration of one of the world’s favourite fashion destinations.
From the courts of Versailles to the cobbled streets of Paris, French fashion has always been the epitome of elegance. Whether it's Dior's New Look, Yves Saint Laurent's Le Smoking jacket or Chanel's little black dress, the masters of French fashion understand that clothing is more than a craft: it’s an art form.

Hess’s signature style can also be found on her bespoke, limited-edition prints and homewares sold around the globe. Her renowned clients include Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Tiffany & Co., Saint Laurent, VogueHarper’s Bazaar, Harrods, Cartier, Balmain, Louis Vuitton and Prada.
