Book Description: William "Braveheart" Wallace did battle in it. Queen Victoria decked Balmoral in it. Madonna donned it to strut around the stage. Tartan, the beloved symbol of kin, clan and nation to the Scots, has evolved into the one of the world's favorite fabrics. Serving as inspiration for designers of everything from haute couture to furniture, tartan mania is in full swing. Fashion world insiders Jeffrey Banks and Doria de La Chapelle have written the definitive book on tartan, bringing together a dizzying array of images to tell the story of tartan's humble beginnings to its current status as the ultimate emblem of great taste and high fashion. In addition to chronicling tartan enthusiasts from every age-including the incomparably fashionable Duke of Windsor whose closet was jam-packed with tartan kilts-Tartan profiles the designers who've made tartan an integral part of their work, from punk-inspired provocateurs Vivienne Westwood, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Alexander McQueen to the more refined fashions of titan Ralph Lauren and Burberry. The perfect mix of a fashion and lifestyle book, this volume explores the global phenomena of tartan mania.
Editorial Review: This largely unseen collection of photos by award-winning photojournalist Eppridge (on assignment for Life" magazine) celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' now famous first American tour... The exuberance and magic of the event shines through in Eppridge's spontaneous and moving shots of casual moments... The book offers 160 stunning black-and-white images culled from the 90 rolls Eppridge shot during the six days he spent with the band... Organized by day and featuring detailed captions for each image, the book allows readers to relive the excitement of a nation witnessing these four Liverpool lads' rise to stardom." "Publishers Weekly" "There is an innocence to the images in "The Beatles Six Days That Changed the World..." The photographs show a fresh-faced group of musicians, gracious and grateful and not yet jaded by their fame. The world was smaller then, and the foursome appears genuinely enthralled with the United States. Even the fans who followed the band seem virtuous in their headbands and cardigan sweaters. This is, of course, the start of Beatlemania, which would eventually spread across the globe. Luckily Eppridge was there to capture the frenetic energy of a generation enthralled." "Photo District News " ."."."the book contains rare and mostly unseen images from the band's US tour. Eppridge, an eminent photojournalist, expressed a desire to capture the moments of the tour as they occurred, without any of his own orchestration or input. The result is a set of pictures that evoke the excitement, discovery and sheer mania of the Fab Four's initial contact with America. The band's Plaza Hotel room, Central Park, the British Embassy, and the Ed Sullivan show are just a few of the locations that are featured in the images." "Hunger TV " """Eppridge's "Beatles: Six Days that Changed the World" is fab." "Vanity Fair ""Photographer Bill Eppridge was on assignment for "Life" magazine to shoot the Beatles as they landed ina
