Illustrated with archive material from the designers and the earliest Italian fashion magazines, this book concentrates on the most important designers from the early years of Italian fashion. From Gabriella di Robilant, the Italian ‘inventor’ of sportswear fashion, to Salvatore Ferragamo and his famous orthopaedic shoes, to Elsa Schiaparelli, the first great protagonist of Italian style, these designers’ influence continues to be felt today. 03/11/21orders to: booksinprogressmilano@yahoo.itordini a: booksinprogressmilano@yahoo.ittwitter: @fashionbooksmiinstagram: fashionbooksmilano, designbooksmilano tumblr: fashionbooksmilano, designbooksmilano -- source link
