« My book is like a cookery book… but with clips and hair instead of tools and ingredients. It is full of fancy and funny hair-dos, wearable or not, easy to do or impossible, but always inspiring. I have the feeling that “hair” is a dreaded matter. I meant to tone it down, to show that it is not that hard to master and that it can even turn into a game… » Frédéric Birault

T

he book is based on thirty portraits of men and women from all over the world who have made an impression on him. They cover all the existing hair types: women, men and children; long, medium and short hair; Afro curls and Asian straight hair; red and white hair, etc. A bible unique to its genre, full of sources that provide glamorous inspirations and offbeat ideas to dare change your hair, create hair-dos for special occasions (parties, weddings, dates…) and even a fun “Barbie bun tuto” to do with your children. Be it in a trendy hair saloon or to share with friends at home, this book is sure to amuse and inspire!

MEN’S RINGS By Yves Gastou, photographs by Benjamin Chelly

The collection of over 600 rings displayed here and gathered by Yves Gastou, a renowned Parisian art dealer and collector, has no equivalent in the world.

J

ust like tattoos, men’s rings have become a social phenomenon. This book puts this current fashion into a new perspective, showing that from the doges of Venice in the xviith century to the 1970’s American bikers and from ancient Egyptians to contemporary artists, rings have always played an important role in men’s outfit. Enhanced by Benjamin Chelly’s original artistic photographs and an outstanding iconography including archive images, this unique collection is presented through thematic chapters (vanities, cameos, power rings, etc.), thus allowing to seize the singularity of every type of rings as well as the main values and symbols carried out by men’s rings. Each chapter is enriched with unpublished portraits of famous men with their rings, such as Karl Lagerfeld, Mick Jagger, Lenny Kravitz and Peter Marino.

THE GOOD TIMES ROLLED In a Vanished Black New Orleans, 1978-1982 By Bernard Hermann These 200 black and white vintage photographs bring back to life the ancient Creole City’s unique art of living, making us feel the Mississippi delta heat and hear the decibels of marching brass band jazz music.

F

or four years, Bernard Hermann photographed New Orleans and its inhabitants like no one had done before. He created images of rare intensity, now published for the first time. In 2005, the devastating passage of Hurricane Katrina made him realize the testimonial value of these images, and he decided to start writing about them. This results in a text of great musicality, in counterpoint to images of a rare intensity, completely unpublished until today. This book reveals a literary and photographic account that has never been seen before, published as a tribute to the “Old Creole Queen” of Louisiana.

DJERBAHOOD By Mehdi Ben Cheikh

After the success of Tour Paris 13, a new richly visual book about the first-ever street art open skies museum.

I

n 2015, Mehdi Ben Cheikh returned with the desire to engage worldwide street artists in a new venture, a new experiment in a completely unexplored environment: a Tunisian medina renamed Djerbahood for the event. Welcoming more than a hundred famous artists of 30 nationalities, the traditional and authentic village of Erriadh on the Djerba island became the stage of a large-scale laboratory of contemporary and international creativity. Not an event, not an exhibition, Djerbahood was designed with the quality standards of a museum with a scenography and an itinerary where all the artworks are meant to last, to grow and to gain complexity over time. Through the testimonies of the artists themselves, this outstanding book retraces the unique human adventure that they shared with the locals and draws up a richly-illustrated inventory of the striking artworks which blend flawlessly on the outdated walls and sceneries of the medina.

THE LEGEND OF THE VENDEE GLOBE By Philippe JOUBIN The first reference book ever published on the most ruthless and widely advertised boat race in the world.

S

ince its first edition in 1989, The Vendée Globe Race has been known as the most extreme round-the-world sailing race. This ultimate challenge has one simple rule: one sailor, alone on a 60 foot sailboat, sailing non-stop and without assistance around the world via the three major capes of Good Hope, Leeuwin and the Horn. Every four years, the little town of Sables d’Olonne in Vendée welcomes more than 700 000 international visitors for the departure, individual homecomings and prize ceremony and the perilous race fascinates over a million enthusiasts. And this is no surprise: each of the six editions has been marked by daring exploits, unforeseen twists and turns and constant dangers. With short texts and numerous photographs, both vintage and recent, this first ever book published on the subject makes the inventory of the mythical boats, the unforgettable sailors, the iconic routes, the tragic or spectacular anecdotes and the technological achievements that have built up the legend over the years and earned the race the nickname of the “Everest of the seas”.
