Gary Vaynerchuk's 101 Wines

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

In some ways I hate to see the dynamic magic of Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Library TV video podcast distilled into book form, but we all need to get offline now and then. For down-to-earth wine appreciation, there's no better resource.

Modern Menswear

First to recommend

Description

Menswear, the last fashion frontier. Sort of. Babywear is going to come on really strong in a couple of years, but it will, of course, never be as serious an endeavor as apparel for men. This field waxes and wanes, but the last couple of years have been a particularly sophisticated period for men's fashion, which makes this insightful look at contemporary design all the more appealing.

The Golden Age of Advertising

First to recommend

Description

Documenting a rich period of American consumption, one that imploded into the self-censoring, health-obsessed decade that would follow, The Golden Age of Advertising takes a nostalgic look back on a time that is best viewed with winking nostalgia. Assembled with breadth and insight by Taschen, per usual, the book is fun for scholars and casual readers alike.

All Gone 2007

First to recommend

Description

The self-proclaimed "Bible of Streetwear," All Gone is a stylized tribute to limited-edition streetwear and art appearing throughout 2007. Covering the likes of Huf, Staple, Married to the MOB, Bape, Skullphone, Ed Banger, and Run Athletics, as well as artwork from KAWS, Geoff McFetridge, and others, the selection is diverse. Pulled together by La MJC, co-produced with Colette, and limited to 1000 pieces, you know it's pedigreed.
