One Hundred People and Ideas from a Century in Fashion, Hardcover – Illustrated (English)

A century of innovation from "the Bible of fashion and of high society," featuring magazine covers, illustrations, ephemera and more

Founded in 1921, the iconic French fashion magazine L’Officiel was designed for fashion designers, buyers, clothing manufacturers and agents. Within a short time, it helped start the careers of designers such as Pierre Balmain, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Christian Dior and Yves St. Laurent.

On the occasion of L’OFFICIELS’s 100th anniversary, this superbly designed volume appraises the magazine’s august history and the culture around it. With 1,000 illustrations, carefully selected from the magazine’s invaluable archives, it offers an overview of the fashion industry and its history from Paul Poiret to Christian Dior, supermodels and “It Girls,” also exploring Paris as a fashion capital. Among the themes explored by the authors are newness, globalism, artistry and “Frenchness.”

Through magazine covers, illustrations, design, photographs, advertising campaigns, iconic accessories, portraits and artworks, the reader will rediscover old celebrities and encounter a veritable tapestry of connections between eras.

Material description

925 Sterling Silver

All of our jewelry is made of 925 sterling silver and is plated with either rhodium or 18 carat gold.

The exception to this is men's jewelry, where the base material is made of stainless steel.

For each piece of jewelry you will find the exact material and product description.

Sterling silver rhodium plated

Rhodium is one of the most expensive precious metals on the market.

It is a silvery white metal that produces a brighter and shinier shine than untreated sterling silver. Rhodium plating gives the jewelry a high-gloss, mirror-like surface. Rhodium plating can increase the scratch resistance of the jewelry.

Sterling silver 18k gold plated

The term "gold plated" means that the sterling silver has been covered with a layer of 18 karat gold (750 gold). This gives the jewelry a warm, real golden shine.

The gold plating process involves applying a thin layer of gold to the
Surface of the base material.

Edelstahl

Edelstahlschmuck auch rhodiniert oder vergoldet ist eine elegante und langlebige Wahl, die sowohl Stil als auch Beständigkeit bietet.

Seine Korrosionsbeständigkeit, Härte und Vielseitigkeit machen ihn zu einer beliebten Option in der Welt des Schmucks.

5A Cubic Zirconia

5A Cubic Zirconia (zirconia)

5A Quality: The designation "5A" is often used to denote the highest quality of cubic zirconia. This is a grading scale where 5A represents the best and highest quality stones.

This rating is based on various characteristics such as clarity, cut, color and carat weight.

Highest quality level

Typically, higher ratings indicate a better quality stone. 5A Cubic Zirconia is the highest grade and is considered to be particularly clear, sparkling and diamond-like.

It is a man-made gemstone that resembles the appearance of diamonds.

Care tip

All of our CRYSTOLE jewelry is waterproof. Nevertheless, we recommend that you remove the jewelry when washing your hands, showering or bathing. This way you can preserve the shine of the Cubic Zikonia stones for as long as possible.

If your jewelry has come into contact with perfume, salt water or chemicals, it is best to rinse it immediately under clean water and dry it. We recommend a soft cloth, e.g. a jewelry polishing cloth
