THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE MAJOR DOCUMENTARY COMING SOON IN 2026 Karl Lagerfeld ran Chanel for 35 years, reinventing it from a brand nearing bankruptcy with only one boutique back to one of the top fashion houses in the world. But who was the man behind the myth? In this deliciously entertaining book, the author draws on his personal relationship with Lagerfeld to take us inside the most exclusive rooms in the fashion industry, behind the catwalk, and into a world of brilliantly talented artists, stylish socialites, and famous stars-some of the most elusive and unforgettable figures of fashion's inner circle for the past four decades. Journalist and author William Middleton spent years working in Paris for Women's Wear Daily, W, and Harper's Bazaar, interviewing and socialising with Lagerfeld many times over the years, getting to intimately know not only his work and his professional journey, but also what the elusive designer kept private from the world.

The Extraordinary Life of Karl Lagerfeld

Paradise Now

"Dominic clearly remembers more about the 90s than I do." - Zoe BallI was in the right place at exactly the right time.I was handed a precious backstage pass to this magical period, as a chronicler of some of its most significant moments, of its wild protagonists, whether in music, entertainment, fashion, football, art or politics.I had a front-row seat for that insane decade, but it was 1996 that was the period's stunning apex. Oasis at Maine Road and Knebworth, the births of Robbie Williams the solo star and the Spice Girls, the Euro 96 football tournament and 'Three Lions', the rise of New Labour and Tony Blair.I was there for the lot.1996. Britpop ruled the airwaves.The tabloids framed reality long before Instagram.Football was finally coming home. Tony Blair was learning to play rock star - and rock stars were learning they could play politics. Everyone was partying hard, and Britain was the coolest place on earth.Showbiz reporter Dominic Mohan wasn't watching the party from afar - he was in the room.Backstage at Knebworth with Oasis. In strip clubs with Robbie Williams. On the phone to Bowie. On the receiving end of Spice Girls gossip, Gallagher gobbiness and tabloid-era chaos. From Euro '96 euphoria to Brit Awards anarchy, from rave culture to New Labour, Mohan witnessed the moment the UK went from scruffy indie island to global cultural powerhouse.Part memoir, part cultural autopsy and part riotous tour through the 90s and its greatest year, 1996 is a jaw-dropping front-row seat to the madness, the music, the football, and the politics that reshaped Britain - and created legends along the way.Three decades on, Mohan returns to the year everything peaked, and asks: what the hell happened, why did it matter, and can it ever happen again?If you were there - this book will feel like going home.If you weren't - you'll wish you had been.

Christopher Isherwood Inside Out

From the author of BBC Between the Covers pick The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou. 'Gripping and compelling.' LAURA MARSHALL 'A magnificent melodrama, full of glamour and grit.' THE TIMES THREE WOMEN. ONE SHOT AT REVENGE. Hollywood, 1954. At night, before we're strapped to our beds, the nurses let us watch a film. We're allowed a moment of make believe, as the faces of stars fill the screen. Tonight, though, I recognise the man on screen. His name is written large above the title on the opening credits. Everyone knows him. But I know him. I know that he likes his coffee strong and his women weak. I know that he owns the world yet is terrified of losing it. I know what happened on the night of the Oscars party. And it's time for me to get out of here and tell the world what he did. Following the story of three women in the orbit of the same insidious man, A Beautiful Way to Die is a true-crime-inspired thriller perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Bright Young Women and The Silent Patient. 'Deeply atmospheric... I couldn't put this down.' LOUISE HARE 'Dark and gripping.' NIKKI SMITH 'Evocative, tense, seductive.' TAMMY COHEN 'I was utterly gripped.' LESLEY KARA 'Both dazzling and devastating.' CLARE WHITFIELD

A Beautiful Way to Die

Petula Clark's first appearance on the airwaves was in 1942, aged nine, singing on a BBC radio show that broadcast messages to the troops. It was to be the start of the longest career of any British entertainer, as she evolved from child star to music, film and theatre legend. After a string of hit records in the UK in the 50s, Petula followed her heart and future husband to France where she became the nation's most popular female vocalist, before going truly global when she topped the charts in the US with Downtown. Hollywood beckoned, then Vegas, Broadway and the West End. Petula is an artist who has always had an innate ability to create deep connections with audiences everywhere, remaining beloved and relevant across different eras. In her first and only autobiography, she brings that same personal passion and spirit to her writing, with a witty, sparkling and deeply intimate narrative. She confides in us with glorious showbiz gems, such as the time she saw Frank Sinatra at both his most charming and his most intimidating, or there's the day she attended Liza Minelli and David Gest's wedding as one of thirteen maids of honour, all dressed in black. While beneath the shiny surface, she also reflects on the people and moments that shaped her, on love and loss, on the family life she cherished away from the spotlight and, ultimately, on finding her own path to happiness and fulfilment. Find out why John Lennon, at his bed-in for peace with Yoko, asked 'Is that You, Petula?' It was. And this is Petula, a true icon of popular music, telling you her story, in her own words.

Is That You, Petula?

Climates – Cultures – Contexts

Der Idylle wird traditionell der Blick in ein (vergangenes) ideales oder fiktives Goldenes Zeitalter zugeschrieben. Nicht nur in der Literaturgeschichte, sondern auch in aktuellen Analysen arkadisch konfigurierter Texte entsteht daher oft der ernüchternde Eindruck, die Idylle sei auf Eskapismus und Flucht aus dem Alltag festgelegt. Die Beiträger*innen räumen mit diesem Vorurteil auf und zeigen, warum es sich lohnt, gerade die Idyllen zu beleuchten, die diesem regressiven Moment nicht folgen. Dazu arbeiten sie die produktiven Impulse dieser Zukunftsentwürfe für aktuelle ökologische, politische und soziale Krisen heraus und analysieren progressive Idyllen in unterschiedlichen Medien.

Long Story

A glamorous and revealing biographical novel for readers of Renee Rosen, Allison Pataki, and Fiona Davis, starring one of Swinging London’s defining figures, Mary Quant, who made history with the miniskirt, slashed hemlines, and transformed more than fashion, for herself, for her friends, and for a generation. “A lively, entertaining window into the story behind the styles, expectations, and new freedoms that reshaped women’s lives on both sides of the Atlantic.”—Stephanie Dray, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Madam&nbsp;Secretary Post-war London is a city in flux, with burned-out buildings serving as vivid reminders of the past. But beneath those scars is a sense of resurging optimism. Chrissie Walker, a new student at Goldsmiths arts college, feels it keenly. So does Mary Quant, the auburn-haired classmate who becomes Chrissie’s best friend.&nbsp; Like Chrissie, Mary wants more from life than to nab a husband and settle down. Though shy, Mary shows her daring in subtle ways, including her home-sewn clothes. Designed to run and move in, her outfits inspire Chrissie and others to reinvent their own style. They also catch the eye of charismatic fellow student Alexander Plunket Greene, who becomes Mary’s partner and helps fund the opening of Bazaar, a King’s Road shop that marks the beginning of an empire. Dresses with ever-rising hemlines, skinny-rib sweaters and Peter Pan collars, boldly patterned tights and scarves—Mary Quant’s “Chelsea look” becomes a sensation among socialites, working-class girls, and everyone in between. As the miniskirt becomes a global phenomenon, Mary Quant ignites a fashion revolution that transforms everyone in its orbit—including Chrissie, who must reconcile her own ambitions with her friend’s fame, debutante Daphne, whose life opens up in unexpected ways, and Fern, an aspiring model who will become an icon.&nbsp; In the years that follow, each will deal with the public and personal challenges faced by unconventional women willing to break the rules—and in the process, transform the world.

Chelsea Girls

For fans of the witty and evocative writing of Anne Helen Petersen and Amanda Montell, a sharply clever exploration of what it means to be a “bad mom” by delving into the world of momfluencers, stage moms, trad wives, and more. We all have an idea what it means to be a good mom: little screen time, kids hitting their milestones, endless patience and understanding, and self-sacrifice on behalf of one’s children. But what does it mean to be a “bad mom” in modern society? Women as wide-ranging as Meghan Markle, Hannah Neelman (of Ballerina Farm), and anyone giving birth over forty, have been labeled “bad moms.” In a world where the rules are constantly changing, it feels like women simply cannot win. With this in mind, in her first book, Ej Dickson takes a sharp, provocative look at one of society’s most polarizing labels: the “bad mom.” What makes a mother “bad,” and why? Through the lens of pop culture and American history, Ej Dickson explores how this trope has evolved—from Victorian “angels in the house” to the infamous Mommie Dearest, from Instagram influencers like EmRata and Mormon momfluencers to fictional icons like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Each chapter dives into a different archetype of so-called bad motherhood—like the Stage Mom, the Tiger Mom, the MILF, the MLM hun—challenging us to rethink our assumptions about femininity, parenting, and societal expectations. Drawing on insightful analysis and interviews, Dickson unpacks why our culture is obsessed with vilifying moms and how issues of race and class shape these narratives. Are bad moms truly “bad,” or do they simply defy norms we don’t fully understand—or fear? This isn’t just cultural commentary—it’s a clarion call. Because if we really take a close look, we might find that some of the women we’ve reviled throughout history are due for a reassessment — and in doing so, moms today may take some much-needed pressure off themselves. One Bad Mother invites moms everywhere to stop chasing impossible standards, reclaim their autonomy, and maybe—just maybe—enjoy motherhood for what it is, not what it’s “supposed” to be. Thoughtful, eye-opening, and downright funny at times, One Bad Mother is a vital exploration of modern motherhood.

One Bad Mother

REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A gripping novel about two trailblazing women on opposite sides of the law—a prosecutor and a madam—who team up to bring down notorious Mob boss Lucky Luciano in 1930s New York, from the New York Times bestselling authors of the million-copy bestseller The Personal Librarian. Eunice Carter, assistant district attorney for the City of New York and Manhattan’s first Black female prosecutor, has her sights set on the one and only Lucky Luciano, head of New York City’s five largest organized crime families. Other prosectors have tried to bring down Lucky, but they’ve all focused on the crime syndicate’s traditional businesses—bootlegging, gambling, loan sharking, and drug dealing—or tax evasion. No one has thought to approach the mob through its role in prostitution. Until Eunice. But she can’t get Luciano alone. Polly Adler has worked long and hard to build up her high-class brothel business. Her client list is filled with well-known names, both the famous and the infamous, who all know her booze is top-notch, her music first-rate, her food exquisite, and her girls the best. But Lucky has gone too far, putting her girls in danger, and Polly finally sees the chance to end his reign once and for all. Together, Eunice and Polly fashion a case utilizing a network of women. Bridging the enormous divide between them and risking their own lives, they assemble evidence bit by bit, under the nose of the man they’re trying to convict. It is this very alliance—of two women from vastly different worlds—that launches the most sensational trial New York City has ever seen.

A Pair of Aces: Reese's Book Club

This open access book offersa cultural history of lawsuits that traces the development of French performance rights from la Belle Époque, throughthe Roaring Twenties, and into thePost-War period. It does so by analysing the ways in which performers, composers, and playwrights took to French courtrooms, sought attention in mass media, and participated in political debates to claim their rights to create and control musical and theatrical performance. In 19th-century France, composers and playwrights organised in member-run societies that successfully used authors' rights legislation to curb the power of theatre managers. By the turn of the 20th century, these so-called collective management organisations had transformed French cultural industries by building out structures of royalty collection and improving litigation practices. From the café-concert culture in 19th-century Montmartre and the rise of modern celebrity culture, to mass media and radio entertainment, the book traces precedent-setting litigation that defined who creates and controls performance. The book challenges previous narratives that centre the individualisation of authors in the expansion of the international copyright regime while neglecting performers. Instead, it reveals the ways in which the personality and individuality of performers have played a constitutive role in discourses about genius, technology, and legal categories. Performance as Intellectual Property is for anyone interested in the emergence of modern European cultural industries and the relationships between intellectual property systems, creativity, and art. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com Open access was funded by the European Research Council.

Performance as Intellectual Property

Von und über Popmusik wird zwar erzählt, seit es sie gibt. Eine umfassende Kulturgeschichte dieser Kunstform, die in den mittleren 1950er Jahren ‚erfunden‘ wird und unser Selbstverständnis längst mehr beeinflusst als die ‚klassischen‘ Künste, fehlt jedoch bislang. Dieses Buch will eine solche Geschichte erzählen, über einen Zeitraum von gut siebzig Jahren, mit Blick auf die zentralen Akteure und Stile ihrer Entwicklung, auf die prägenden Alben und Singles, auf epochale Ereignisse und mediale Revolutionen: von Elvis bis Taylor Swift, von Woodstock bis zur Love Parade, von Vinyl bis Streaming, in Anekdoten und großen Linien. Hey, ho, let’s go.

Von und über Popmusik wird zwar erzählt, seit es sie gibt. Eine umfassende Kulturgeschichte dieser Kunstform, die in den mittleren 1950er Jahren ‚erfunden‘ wird, viel mehr als ‚nur‘ Musik ist und die unser Selbstverständnis längst mehr beeinflusst als die ‚klassischen‘ Künste, fehlt jedoch bislang. Dieses Buch will eine solche Geschichte erzählen. Über einen Zeitraum von gut siebzig Jahren porträtiert es die zentralen Akteure und Stile der Popgeschichte, beschreibt und interpretiert die prägenden Alben und Singles, erinnert an epochale Ereignisse und mediale Revolutionen: von Elvis über The Beatles bis Taylor Swift, von Woodstock über den Eurovision Song Contest bis zur Love Parade, von Vinyl über den Walkman bis zum Streaming, in Anekdoten und großen Linien. Erzählt wird also, was das (gewesen) ist, was wir Pop nennen: vielleicht eine der aufregendsten Kunsterfahrungen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Es geht um die Anfänge im Zeichen der emphatischen Naivität bei Elvis oder Chuck Berry ebenso wie um die Verkunstung und Verkomplizierung seit Bob Dylan und im Art-Rock; um den Pendelschlag zurück zur Direktheit des Punk und den niemals enden wollenden Rausch von Disco oder Techno. Beschrieben und analysiert wird die sich ständig steigernde Vielfalt der Phänomene bis zur neuen Pop-Weiblichkeit, die gerade eben jetzt zu dominieren scheint.&nbsp;
 
 Es mag schon sein, dass Schreiben über Musik wie über Architektur Tanzen ist.&nbsp;
 
 Nevermind. Let’s dance.
