Celebrating 100 years, Belstaff has been dubbed 'the coolest British outerwear brand of all time' by Maxim magazine. Belstaff: Our First 100 Years is a celebratory, visual exploration of the people, designs, and story behind the iconic brand. With historical prestige, Belstaff has been worn by the likes of Hollywood icon Steve McQueen, explorer Ranulph Fiennes, and aviator Amy Johnson when she became the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930. And today Belstaff prides itself - and its iconic logo - as being synonymous with independent spirits and as the adventurers' clothier of choice - worn by Brad Pitt, David Beckham, John Boyega, and Ewan McGregor. Belstaff is about the people, passion, and pioneers who have made the company the British beacon that it is today, featuring archive adverts, iconic photos, and the story of British design and innovation. Begun as a family business in 1924 in Stoke-on-Trent, Belstaff put themselves on the fashion map with the novel idea of waxed waterproof cotton for motorcyclists - quickly becoming associated with style, speed, and adventure. This beautiful, sumptuously packaged book features archival designs and never-before-seen photos with an engaging history written by Charlie Porter (menswear journalist and author of What Artists Wear (Penguin) and Jodie Harrison, Belstaff's global brand director and fashion author.

An eye-opening and richly illustrated journey through the clothes worn by artists, and what they reveal to us. 
From Yves Klein’s spotless tailoring to the kaleidoscopic costumes of Yayoi Kusama and Cindy Sherman, from Andy Warhol’s denim to Martine Syms’s joy in dressing, the clothes worn by artists are tools of expression, storytelling, resistance, and creativity. 
In What Artists Wear, fashion critic and art curator Charlie Porter guides us through the wardrobes of modern artists: in the studio, in performance, at work or at play. For Porter, clothing is a way in: the wild paint-splatters on Jean-Michel Basquiat’s designer clothing, Joseph Beuys’s shamanistic felt hat, or the functional workwear that defined Agnes Martin’s life of spiritua labor. As Porter roams widely from Georgia O’Keeffe’s tailoring to David Hockney’s bold color blocking to Sondra Perry’s intentional casual wear, he weaves his own perceptive analyses with original interviews and contributions from artists and their families and friends. 
Part love letter, part guide to chic, with more than 300 images, What Artists Wear offers a new way of understanding art, combined with a dynamic approach to the clothes we all wear. The result is a radical, gleeful inspiration to see each outfit as a canvas on which to convey an identity or challenge the status quo. 316 color illustrations

Explore Frank Walter's relationship to Antigua through a range of works and writings that express his intimate connection to Caribbean nature, landscape, and place. "Nothing seems to be reworked--it is as if each piece drew or painted itself without being adjusted, revised, or fussed over." --Hyperallergic &nbsp; Influenced by his studies of agriculture and the sugar industry in the former British colony of Antigua as well as in England, Scotland, and West Germany, Walter created work inspired by his thoughts, knowledge, journeys, and surroundings--work that encompassed painting, drawing, writing, sculpture, photography, and sound. His paintings--tender, quiet, and lush--transcend the traditional tourist's view of island life in favor of perspectives that explore how and why we look at where we are. &nbsp; Published on the occasion of the 2022 exhibition at David Zwirner, this catalogue includes an introduction by the show's curator Hilton Als. Barbara Paca, the leading expert on Walter, writes a text detailing her personal experience meeting Walter and being in his presence. An essay by Charlie Porter takes readers on a walk as he muses about Walter's life and the nature depicted in his paintings. Joshua Jelly-Schapiro travels to Antigua to explore the history of the island and Walter's lasting impact there.
