This book reveals how Calvin Klein created a fashion brand that made understated, all-American glamour his own &ndash; at the same time as building a vast billion-dollar empire that includes everything from pants and jeans to perfume and pillows.&#160;A master of minimalism, Klein&rsquo;s clothes have been beautifully documented in the pages of Vogue over the years by the world&rsquo;s starriest photographers, including Terry Donovan, Herb Ritts, Snowdon and Nick Knight. While Vogue also reflected the public&rsquo;s fascination with his film-star handsomeness, glamorous marriage and divorces, bi-sexuality, drama and stints in rehab, the magazine understood that Calvin Klein&rsquo;s success lay in the very opposite of excess: &lsquo;His clothes simply offered women practical elegance and cool, understated chic&rsquo;.In the early 1970s, he introduced his trademark jeans, which he elevated to designer status by cutting them tight and branding his name on the back pocket. Suggestive ads (with the nubile, 15-year-old Brooke Shields cooing &lsquo;You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.&rsquo;) created a designer jean frenzy among consumers. In 1993, he also made sexy male underwear mainstream with an equally seductive campaign featuring the beefcake charms of the young Mark Wahlberg.&#160;This is the ultimate handbook to an American icon.

&#39;I like looking at things from a different angle and questioning what is expected.&#39; &ndash; Jean Paul GaultierThis book tracks the stellar career of maverick designer Jean Paul Gaultier from his first show in Paris in 1976, when he challenged the current ideals of beauty and promoted a style of fashion which embraced ethnic diversity and models of all shapes and sizes.Seen as an enfant terrible when he first burst on to the fashion scene, his titillating, provocative designs embrace corset dresses, conical bustiers, biker jackets paired with ballet tutus and skirts for men, along with classic fashion staples such as beautifully cut smoking jackets and trench coats. By the turn of this century he had put Madonna in corsets for her Blonde Ambition tour, dressed celebrities for the red carpet and moved seamlessly between mainstream popular culture (co-hosting the outr&eacute; British TV show Eurotrash and designing award-winning film costumes for Luc Besson and Pedro Almodovar) while also launching his own seriously successful haute couture label &ndash; an addition to a burgeoning empire of ready-to-wear, perfume and kidswear.With stunning images captured in the pages of Vogue by photographers like Mario Testino and Lord Snowdon, Vogue on: Jean Paul Gaultier shows how his avant-garde fashion creations and cutting-edge designs revealed Gaultier&rsquo;s unerring instinct for how women want to dress.

Laughter is a physiological response that activates a plethora of beneficial reactions in the body. The elation you feel when you laugh and your body relaxes and releases endorphins is a great way of offsetting the physical effects of stress.The aim of the laughter healing techniques in this book is to help you to laugh more easily through a series of warm-up exercises that are then followed by a range of activities designed to get you giggling.Laughter does not come easily to everyone, but luckily the body cannot distinguish between real and &#8203;simulated laughter &ndash; pretend laughter has the same beneficial effect as real laughter. The practice of laughter is suitable for everyone, including elderly groups.There are many different types of laughs &ndash; light chuckles, hearty chortles, full-on belly laughs &ndash; and when starting with a fake laugh it often quickly becomes a genuine laugh. When we laugh, we are present in the moment. Paying attention to the here and now is much needed in today&#39;s frenetic society. It helps us to notice the small details as well as the bigger picture. By learning to pause in our daily swirl of activities and become fully present to whatever is happening at that moment, then we will be able to pause and laugh easily too. Laughter is mindfulness in motion.We all need to laugh more. This book shows you how.
