DescriptionA fantastic collection of portraits of the most famous masters of the catwalk, in a fascinating journey among the mythical figures of haute couture and pret-a-porter, from their origins to the present day: from the timeless class of Coco Chanel to the aristocratic but innovative spirit of Elsa Schiaparelli, who is credited with the invention of the fashion show as we know it today, up to the glamour of Tom Ford and the visionary and alternative creativity of Alexander McQueen. The book reviews all the major designers of the last century and this one that has just begun. The illuminating contributions of an expert in the field, with pictures, accounts and entertaining anecdotes that go behind the scenes of some of the most famous catwalks, magically recall the lives, personalities and immortal creations of the bestknown names from the world of fashion, characters who through their inspiration, imagination, energy and innate sense of elegance have left an indelible mark, bringing to life an inimitable style.
