The Pocket


Book Description

A New York Times Best Art Book of 2019 “A riveting book . . . few stones are left unturned.”—Roberta Smith’s “Top Art Books of 2019,” The New York Times This fascinating and enlightening study of the tie-on pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the social history of women’s everyday lives—from duchesses and country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen—and to explore their consumption practices, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. A wealth of evidence reveals unexpected facets of the past, bringing women’s stories into intimate focus. “What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them.”—Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian “A brilliant book.”—Ulinka Rublack, Times Literary Supplement

My Life in My Pocket for High School Students


Book Description

The sole purpose of this book is to teach you to THINK and to THINK correctly. In "MY LIFE IN MY POCKET FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS" you will learn that there are 24 Pockets of Success. Each pocket represents an aspect of life-a lesson to help you think about various situations that you will face-things like Goals, Hope, Disappointment, Anger, Humiliation, Money, Dating, and Loss. Think of this book as a zero to 100-point quiz: you get zero if you don't write anything in the book and 100 for completing each section. By answering the questions in this book, you will learn how to be successful by engaging in a conversation with yourself through the five senses of success. By using these senses you can, and will, have your dreams come true if you think about them, visualize having them, feel good about them, write them down and act on your ideas. You will recognize the power of words and how you must have certain words "in the pocket." These words will affect your decision-making and your way of thinking and how you think can make the difference between success and failure. Where you are today does not determine where you will be tomorrow. What determines your tomorrow is what you THINK about today. BR> AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY K.L. Lewis is a leading expert on Self-Advocacy.

Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs


Book Description

This fascinating publication presents the roles two men have played in turning a small workshop in nineteenth-century Paris into one of the most successful and recognized brands in the world. Known for both craftsmanship and must-have high design, Louis Vuitton the luxury house was started by its eponymous founder in 1854. The first half of this publication traces the innovations by Vuitton, who turned the little-known guild profession of emballeur (packer) into the foremost luxury trunk maker in Paris, with a clientele that included in his lifetime the French nobility as well as the elite of a prosperous empire. Prime and never-before-seen examples of Vuitton’s craftsmanship, along with the fashion that went into them, are the highlights of these chapters. The second half of the book examines the role of Marc Jacobs as Louis Vuitton’s creative director (since 1997), who took the Louis Vuitton house into a new era with a series of collaborations with artists and designers—such as Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and Stephen Sprouse—as well as designing a line of highly successful and desired clothing for the company. By examining two divergent but often similar careers one hundred years apart, Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs is not only a layered study of the evolution of a luxury brand in the past 150 years but also a celebration of technical and design innovations in the new century.
