Miles

Miles: The Autobiography, like the man himself, holds nothing back. He talks about his battles against drugs and racism, and discusses the many women in his life. But above all, Miles talks about music and musicians, including the legends he has played with over the years: Bird, Dizzy, Monk, Trane, Mingus and many others. The man who has given us the most exciting music of recent times has now given us a fascinating and compelling insight into his extraordinary life. 'An engrossing read . . . gives fascinating insights into the cult phenomenon' Miles Copeland, Weekend Telegraph 'Magnificently truthful, action packed, raw and bleeding' Miles Kington, Independent 'Passionate, opinionated, unfettered . . . What gives this book, and the man, their final weight and strength is that Davis's driving, almost possessed pursuit of his art. The passion to create is all, and let the world go hang itself' Herbert Kretzmer, Daily Mail

Infused with retro nostalgia, this showcase of artisanal knitwear celebrates 60 years of designs from an Italian, woman-founded company Founded in 1962 by Silvia Bocchese, knitwear company MILES (Maglificio italiano lana e seta) made a name for itself through its high-quality raw materials, experimentation with three-dimensional knitting and commitment to elegance. Beginning in the years when people still worked with hand-drawn sketches sent through fax machines and discussed over the telephone, the firm has evolved with the times and with technology. This chic publication illustrates 60 years of the company's story through sketches, archival designs and more. At the center of the volume is curator Cristina Beltrami's interview with Silvia Bocchese, from which the salient aspects and anecdotes of her career emerge. These are further buoyed by accounts from her contemporaries, including Renzo Zengiaro, the founder of Bottega Veneta; and Orsola De Castro, founder of Fashion Revolution.
