About the Item

Published by Rizzoli & Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, 1st edition, New York, 2011. Hardback with English text. Quintessentially Spanish, Balenciaga took inspiration from the bullrings, the flamenco dancers, the fishermen in their loose blouses and the nuns in their black lacy veils. Illustrated in coloured and black and white photographs, this is an illuminating volume on the confluence of Balenciaga and Spanish arts and culture - from masters such as Goya, Picasso and Miró, to the religious dresses and lavish royal courts. A visual feast of a kind. Dimensions: 23.5 x 31 x 2.8 cm Conditon: Fine interior, Fine dust jacket.

  • Madeleine Vionnet - Jacqueline Demornex - 1st U. S. edition, New York, 1991
    Located in London, GB
    A Rizzoli publication, 1st U. S. edition, New York, 1991. Hardback with English text. Translated from the original French edition.

Renowned for her invention of the bias cut, which sumptuously drapes into sinuous folds following the natural curves of the female body, it was an unparalleled invention which highlighted a dignified, classic yet modern and femme fatale ideal femme of the 30s . An admirer of Grecian statues...
