Emily in Paris: The Fashion Guide chronicles the bold, whimsical, and unapologetically fabulous outfits of Netflix’s most stylish American, Emily Cooper, in the City of Light—not to mention those of her chic friends, lovers, and colleagues. The first o!cial book on the series is curated and authored by Marylin Fitoussi, the award-winning costume designer behind the global sensation that is the fashion of this blockbuster show—one that sparked viral conversations about Emily Cooper’s blend of vintage couture, color clashes, and prints upon prints that are nothing if not impossible-to-miss. With a foreword by Emily in Paris creator Darren Star, who revolutionized the role of fashion in television with iconic series like Sex and the City, the book underscores how costume can drive character and story alike. As both Fitoussi and Darren Star note, the clothes in Emily in Paris are more than wardrobe—they are characters, revealing emotion and transforming perception.A true behind-the-scenes look at one of television’s most aesthetically influential (and controversial) shows, Emily in Paris: The Fashion Guide unveils Fitoussi’s process: from original costume concepts and vintage sourcing adventures to fittings inside the show’s Paris atelier. Spotlighting Marylin’s twenty-five favorite looks (with her insights on each), the title features photos captured exclusively for Assouline, never-before-published mood boards, sketches, and insider commentary, including Marylin’s handwritten musings in the margins throughout.Describing her work as "a manifesto for freedom” and "a refusal to follow rules,” Fitoussi embraces an exuberant, unapologetic approach—her introduction defiantly addresses the show’s critics—that marries major fashion houses with emerging designers she personally champions, from Chanel to Ludovic de Saint Sernin. For Season 4 alone, Marylin pulled more than 25,000 pieces from over 480 brands, reflecting her conviction that the art of dressing should be democratic, daring, and fun. Each look is defined by digital-age sartorial maximalism, which makes Emily in Paris so instantly recognizable.As anticipation builds for Season 5’s December 18 premiere, Emily in Paris: The Fashion Guide stands as the ultimate glossary of the show’s evolution, a front-row seat to Darren"Star’s cultural phenomenon, and, above all, a celebration of the sheer joy of dressing up.

For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In "Men's Health Book of Strength", this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players.The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include: exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture; training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective; compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books; and, no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Centre for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress.
In The Complete Book of Vinyasa Yoga Srivatsa Ramaswami presented the full breadth of yogasana teachings as taught by Sri. T. Krishnamacharya (1888--1989) -- the father of modern yoga. Now, for the first time, Ramaswami imparts his vast yoga experience and knowledge of Krishnamachara's distinct vinyasa krama system in an accessible question-and-answer format with experienced California yogi David Hurwitz. In a beautifully clear and conversational style, Ramaswami and Hurwitz delve deeply into various general and specific topics relating to yoga philosophy and practice, shedding light on even the most confusing concepts. The nearly 240 questions are drawn directly from Hurwitz's private study with Ramaswami, and include: Does yoga lead to happiness? How do we achieve the famous ahimsa (non-violence)? How does the yogi "see" his soul? What is the role of breath in Asana? Where does willpower come in? and Was Krishnamacharya happy? Yoga Beneath the Surface is the next best thing to studying directly with one of yoga's true gurus -- and a must-read for every serious yoga student.
