Description:
"Quite simply the most fascinating record of a '(fashion) victim' one could hope for." The Spectator


This captivating study reproduces arguably the most extraordinary primary source documents in fashion history. Providing a revealing window onto the Renaissance, it chronicles how style-conscious accountant Matthaus Schwarz and his son Veit Konrad experienced life through clothes, and climbed the social ladder through fastidious management of self-image. These bourgeois dandies' agenda resonates as powerfully today as it did in the 16th century- one has to dress to impress, and dress to impress they did.


The Schwarzes recorded their sartorial triumphs as well as failures in life in a series of portraits by illuminists over 60 years, which have been comprehensively reproduced in full color for the first time. These exquisite illustrations are accompanied by the Schwarzes' fashion-focussed yet at times deeply personal captions, which render the pair the world's first fashion bloggers and pioneers of everyday portraiture.

The First Book of Fashion demonstrates how dress seemingly both ephemeral and trivial is a potent tool in the right hands. Beyond this, it colorfully recaptures the experience of Renaissance life and reveals the importance of clothing to the aesthetics and everyday culture of the period.


Historians Ulinka Rublack's and Maria Hayward's insightful commentaries create an unparalleled portrait of 16th-century dress that is both strikingly modern and thorough in its description of a true Renaissance fashionista's wardrobe. This first English translation also includes a bespoke pattern by TONY

Best 100-Inch TV Experience I’ve ever had
Style: 2026 Model, Size: 100-Inch, Style: 2026 Model, Size: 100-Inch
Absolutely stunning picture and performance! I’ve been using the Toshiba 100" Z670 Series Mini-LED TV 9 hours+ every day, and it’s nothing short of amazing. The Mini-LED backlight combined with QLED delivers incredible contrast and vibrant colors — way better than conventional LED TVs. The native 144Hz panel makes motion incredibly smooth, whether I'm watching sports or playing fast-paced games on my PS5. And it’s super thin!! Game Mode Pro works flawlessly; I barely notice any input lag. The REGZA Engine Zri keeps everything snappy, and Dolby Vision IQ + HDR10+ make movies pop. Sound from Dolby Atmos is surprisingly immersive for built-in speakers. Setup was easy with Fire TV built-in, and Alexa is a nice bonus. For a 100-inch screen, the design is sleek and edge-to-edge. Definitely worth every penny if you want a premium home theater experience. Highly recommend!

Great picture quality and smooth performance
Style: 2026 Model, Size: 65-Inch, Style: 2026 Model, Size: 65-Inch
This Toshiba 65" Mini‑LED TV has been a great upgrade for my living room. The picture is bright and clear, and the colors look very natural. The 144Hz refresh rate makes movies and games feel smooth, and Dolby Vision IQ works well in different lighting. The built‑in Fire TV is easy to use, and the sound with Dolby Atmos is better than I expected. Overall, it’s a solid TV for everyday watching and gaming.

Good quality
Style: 2026 Model, Size: 85-Inch
I am extremely impressed with this Toshiba 85” mini LED TV. The picture quality is absolutely stunning. Sound quality is better than expected for a flat-screen TV. The built-in audio is clear and immersive, and Dolby Atmos adds a nice sense of depth without needing an immediate soundbar upgrade. The Fire TV interface is easy to use and responsive, with Alexa built-in for convenient voice control. Setup was quick, and streaming apps run smoothly without lag. This TV feels like a premium product at a great value for its size and features, if you’re looking for a larger-screen TV with excellent picture quality, strong gaming performance, and smart features, this is definitely a great choice

Good audio system
Style: 2026 Model, Size: 55-Inch, Style: 2026 Model, Size: 55-Inch
I got the 55-inch model to replace an older Hisense 43A6 that stopped working, and I'm happy with it. The bigger screen is nice and movies look much better and speakers even better than on my old TV, especially at night. It was also easy to set up since I don't want to spend a lot of time with settings. The sound quality is better than I expected. More than good enough for normal use. Overall it feels like a solid upgrade from what I had before.
