Dress Codes
A richly illustrated exploration of how dress codes shaped identity at the Dutch royal court (1870-1940) and how fashion still expresses power, culture, and connection today.

With costumes from the collections of Paleis Het Loo, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, and the Royal Collections, you'll see how members of the court set the tone and became taste-makers in wider society. But dress codes are far from a thing of the past. In the second part of the book, you'll discover how clothing today still connects - and divides - us. Think of football jerseys, gender norms, or popular influencers as today's trendsetters. The exhibition invites you to reflect on your own wardrobe choices - and what they say about you. Dress Codes shows that fashion is more than beautiful - it tells a powerful story about identity, culture, and influence.

Titanic & Fashion
A richly illustrated fashion journey connecting Titanic-era elegance and film costume with modern design, exploring identity, class, and transformation through clothing. Titanic & Fashion takes you on a captivating journey through time and style, featuring original costumes from the iconic 1997 film Titanic and rarely seen garments from the 1910s. The book explores a revolutionary era in fashion (1908-1918), when corsets were cast off and visionary designers like Coco Chanel and Lucile redefined modern dress. This period of emancipation, technological optimism, and class division echoes many aspects of our world today. Combined with works by contemporary designers such as Iris van Herpen and John Galliano for Margiela, the book creates a compelling dialog between past and present. From dreamy gowns to bold statements, fashion becomes a vehicle for stories of hope, struggle, and identity. Aboard the Titanic, these worlds collided - from wealthy travelers in haute couture to migrants in traditional dress - all aboard a ship that came to symbolize both progress and peril. Published to accompany an exhibition at Kunstmuseum The Hague, Netherlands, between 27 September 2025 and 25 January 2026.

Indigenous Snack Branding
Over the years, indigenous food producers in Nigeria have been using different types of packages for the sale of their products on the local market. The author had observed that enough efforts have not been made by the various stakeholders in the packaging and export sector to solve the problem of poor packaging of indigenous food products. Therefore, this book studies the packaging design, branding and production of prototype packages for the breadfruit ("ukwa") snack varieties, produced in four major towns in Anambra State Nigeria, namely Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi and Ekwulobia. This study identified the challenges inherent in the packaging design and production chains of the indigenous snack packaging industry in Nigeria; discovered methods which indigenous snack manufacturers could use to get customers' input for their products packaging design concepts and development; ascertained locally-sourced, readily-available and affordable materials that would be used to design suitable packaging for the various breadfruit ("ukwa") products; discovered suitable design elements and principles for the design process and packaging styles of the various breadfruit ("ukwa") products, which guided indigenous snack product manufacturers in Nigeria, in their products packaging design concepts/development; and finally produced various prototype package designs for breadfruit snack products. This research also tested the feasibility of Kano's Theory of Attractive Quality and Packaging in determining customer quality requirements for packaging concepts and development. The researcher employed the quantitative and qualitative methods of research in this study. The research unearthed some of the problems and challenges in the packaging design and production sub-sector in the Nigerian packaging industry. The book finally proposed solutions to the problems identified in the study.
