Walter Albini Published by Carla Sozzani 1st Edition 1990
About the Item
A very scarce book published by Carla Sozzani founder of 10 Corso Como in Milan as a tribute to Walter Albini (1941-1983) and his contribution to Italian fashion whose influence was huge.
The Sunday Times gushed in 1973, “With the exception of Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld, no other designer has had a greater impact in recent years.” But more importantly in the 1970s he pioneered the event that became known as Milan Fashion Week, by breaking with the tradition of showcasing fashion in Florence’s historic Palazzo Pitti and showing in Milan. A revolutionary move which the other houses soon copied and Milan, of course, remains the host of fashion week to this day. Albini is all but unknown internationally yet his influence runs through every palazzo of Italian fashion.
Despite his lack of widespread acclaim, he is often cited as the forefather of Italian ready-to-wear. Manolo Blahnik, said “Walter Albini is still for me today the essence of Italian High Fashion…I will never forget the show at Caffè Florian in Venice. Wonderful moments. A collection that made one think of Chanel, in a very Italian way. Gardenias all over the place, the essence of sophistication. Walter has always been extremely modern. When I think of Italian fashion, I think of Albini and no one else.”
