DIVA comprehensive handbook of all the crucial information interior designers need to know on a daily basis. In the world of interior design, thousands of bits of crucial information are scattered across a wide array of sources. Color, Space, and Style collects the information essential to planning and executing interiors projects of all shapes and sizes, and distills it in a format that is as easy to use as it is to carry. Section 1, Fundamentals, provides a step-by-step overview of an interiors project, describing the scope of professional services, the project schedule, and the design and presentation tools used by designers. Section 2, Space, examines ways of composing rooms as spatial environments while speaking to functional and life-safety concerns. Section 3, Surface, identifies options in color, material, texture, and pattern, while addressing maintenance and performance issues. Section 4, Environments, looks at aspects of interior design that help create a specific mood or character, such as natural and artificial lighting, sound and smell. Section 5, Elements, describes the selection and specification of furniture and fixtures, as well as other components essential to an interior environment, such as artwork and accessories. Lastly, section 6, Resources, gathers a wealth of useful data, from sustainability guidelines to online sources for interiors-related research. Throughout Color, Space, and Style appear interviews with top practitioners drawn from across the field of interior design./div

An essential fashion reference for students and professionals alike, organized in a series of detailed case studies Fashion design is a process of investigating, understanding context, and constantly questioning what you are doing and why. This comprehensive survey presents the work of a wide range of modern and contemporary designers and reveals the innumerable areas of inspiration and research on which they’ve drawn, from historical examples such as Christian Dior’s “New Look” to traditional textiles from around the world, as seen in John Galliano’s Peruvian-inspired collection of 2005. The first part of the book investigates the research process in the work of designers such as Paul Smith, Comme des Garçons, and Anna Sui. The second section covers subjects like vintage and retro, the use of archives, and the influence of art movements such as op art and surrealism. The third part presents case studies of world-famous designers: Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen, and Coco Chanel, to name but a few.
