Paper  -  both affordable and universally available  -  is possibly the most versatile material in the crafter's kit box. In this new book in the Simple Makes series, Christine Leech demonstrates 30 original and creative ideas for lovely things to make from paper. Some of the projects are simply drawn and cut, such as the glistening, rippling fish mobile, whilst others are constructed and glued, for example a cute yet practical stationery birdhouse that holds paperclips inside and has post-it note tiles on its roof. A few slightly more advanced projects involve special techniques, such as the beginner's bookbinding method used to create the hand-bound Japanese-style notebooks, but everything is easily achievable by following the clear, step-by-step instructions and guides.

Makiko Sano

Have you ever wondered why Japanese women stay so slim? Research shows that the Japanese diet is one of the healthiest in the world: balanced, slimming, and packed with superfoods. Japanese girls learn about food from their mothers: what to eat to make your hair shine, your skin glow, to get rid of wrinkles, to make your nails strong and healthy. But above all, how to stay slim ...Japanese women practise 'virtuous indulgence': they don't deny themselves foods that they love, but they only eat them in very small quantities  -  lots of little plates rather than one big one  -  and only healthy snacks in between. They count calories obsessively and know which dishes will provide all their nutritional  -  and beauty  -  needs, with the minimum of fuss.  Now you, too, can benefit from their wisdom. In Sushi Slim, using the latest scientific research, Makiko shows how eating Japanese food can help you get slim and stay slim. Once you begin to eat this way you'll feel the kilos drop away, plus all the recipes are calorie counted to help you maintain your perfect weight. Sushi is light, fun, supremely tasty and extraordinarily healthy, and with Makiko's foolproof directions you'll have no trouble putting together the pretty, delicious dishes. Also included are soups and refreshing salads. Eat California Rolls for the hair-glossing benefits of black sesame, or try the fabulously covetable Collagen Soup for a lunchhour facelift. And you don't have to give up your diet at work. Makiko's tips will have you packing a bento box of healthy delights straight from your freezer, which will be perfectly ready in time for lunch.

All over the world there are popular specialities made with minced meat. The Americans have hamburgers, the Greeks moussaka, the Mexicans chilli con carne and the Italians have their famous Bolognese. The use of mince in many of the most recognisable dishes of the world is a testament to its versatility. It can be fried, baked, roasted or stewed; used to stuff, top or fill; and can be spiced, soaked or left plain. And in times of economic pressure, here is a relatively cheap ingredient that will provide an ingenious and tasty meal worthy of any occasion. First published in 1982 exclusively for Sainsbury's, where it became a best-seller, this superb book has now been updated to suit today's tastes, without removing any of its original charm. If you are in need of something different, why not try the Fennel surprise pork rissoles with carrot sauce or Onion and yogurt soda buns stuffed with spiced lamb; or if you are wanting something more classic why not try the Salmon fish cakes with goat's cheese and spring onions or Spinach and beef layer pie. With a complete new look, including stunning colour photography specially taken for this fully revised edition, this book provides a delightfully unique and mouth-watering collection of traditional, original and often very unusual, recipes.

Alexander (Lee) McQueen was - for the 15 years that he stood at its helm - British fashion&#39;s most significant figure.His extraordinary career, which took him from humble beginnings as an apprentice on Savile Row to the creative directorship of his own global brand, is a story of hard work, ambition and visionary brilliance. Leading photographers such as Mario Testino and Corinne Day photographed his stunning designs for Vogue, and through them Alexander McQueen&#39;s career is presented - from the controversy of his early shows to the elegiac perfection of his last - with a particular emphasis on the evolution of his signature style: immaculate tailoring, slashed fabric, historical references and beauty in the macabre.The book shows that McQueen&#39;s own ambition was fully realised: &#39;I want to be the purveyor of a certain silhouette or a way of cutting so that, when I&#39;m dead and gone, people will know that the Twenty-first Century was started by Alexander McQueen&#39;.Vogue, the international fashion bible, has charted the careers of designers through the decades. Its unique archive of photographs, taken by the leading photographers of the day from Cecil Beaton to Mario Testino, and original illustrations, together with its stable of highly respected fashion writers, make Vogue the most authoritative and prestigious source of reference on fashion. With a circulation of over 160,000 and a readership of over 1,400,000, no brand is better positioned to present a library on the great fashion designers of the modern age.

Hailed as &#39;the most influential female designer of the twentieth century&#39;, Coco Chanel pioneered classic easy-to-wear fashion for the modern woman.She arrived on the fashion scene when feathers, lace and ostentatious beads were favourites, and proceeded to re-invent couture using new materials, like jersey, for outfits that were suitable for everyday wear yet still elegant. With original illustrations and images from celebrated photographers, such as Cecil Beaton, Bronwyn Cosgrave traces the story of Coco Chanel&#39;s iconic designs and glamorous, racy life.In 1921 Coco opened her Chanel boutique in Paris - still a destination store today - and launched her first perfume, Chanel No.5. Perhaps her most important contribution to the fashion world was the simple, much-imitated &#39;little black dress&#39; which made its debut in 1926. Other landmark creations include the Chanel suit and the quilted handbag. A testament to her lasting influence, these legendary designs remain as popular today as when they first appeared.Vogue, the international fashion bible, has charted the careers of designers through the decades. Its unique archive of photographs, taken by the leading photographers of the day from Cecil Beaton to Mario Testino, and original illustrations, together with its stable of highly respected fashion writers, make Vogue the most authoritative and prestigious source of reference on fashion. With a circulation of over 160,000 and a readership of over 1,400,000, no brand is better positioned to present a library on the great fashion designers of the modern age.

Shocking, witty and eccentric, the designs of Elsa Schiaparelli are among the most innovative and influential in the history of fashion.Black gloves with golden fingernails, buttons shaped like lips, trompe l&#39;oeil images, brightly coloured zips and perfume bottles in the shape of a torso would not be out of place in fashion today, but they were created by Schiaparelli in the 1930s.A true original, she collaborated with artists such as Salvador Dali and Man Ray, pioneered the runway show and designed costumes for film-stars from Mae West to Marlene Dietrich. She used film and stage as a publicity vehicle for her label, and her advertising graphics were far ahead of their time. Through the photographs and illustrations of Vogue that championed Schiaparelli from the first picture of her revolutionary Bow-knot sweater in 1927 to the Surrealist Tears dress and Shoe hat of the late 1930s, Elsa Schiaparelli presents the enduring legacy of this daring and visionary designer.Vogue, the international fashion bible, has charted the careers of designers through the decades.
