About the Item

While in Paris, Maria was discovered by Yves Saint Laurent after Marisa Berenson introduced her to Saint Laurent's muse, Loulou de la Falaise. Maria quickly rose to fame within the fashion industry as one of Saint Laurent's chosen models. This launched an international modeling career and work with designers Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino, Gianni Versace, Moschino, Armani, Emanuel Ungaro, Calvin Klein and Geoffrey Beene. She has also worked with photography giants Helmut Newton, Steven Meisel, Matthew Rolston and closely with legendary David LaChapelle. Maria was a muse to celebrated artist Alex Katz and to one of the greatest fashion illustrators in history, Antonio Lopez and is featured as the cover art of his book, Antonio's People. After moving to New York, Andy Warhol encouraged Maria's art and when embarking on a fashion career remarked, "A photo of you is all people need to see to launch your career." Maria was also featured in Norma Kamali's campaign with Andy MacDowell and Dolce & Gabbana's campaign with Monica Bellucci. Maria was immortalized in Dick Tracy's comic strips as the inspiration for the "designing woman" character in the series. Fashion career Maria's career in fashion was spearheaded by Anouk Aimée's daughter, Manuela Papatakis. She introduced her to Diane von Fürstenberg who gave Maria her first exhibition featuring her jewelry as art. Maria's pieces, which included both costume and fine jewelry, were shown in Estee Lauder and Revlon advertising campaigns. Maria then launched a fashion business. Maria developed collections featuring hand painted silk, elegant bead work and graphic prints. She showcased her collections in Paris and New York and began shipping to specialty and department stores around the globe. She also worked on a line of jewelry for Emilio Pucci and created fanciful bracelets for New York's Museum of Modern Art. Felissimo then partnered with Maria and featured her wearable art and jewelry collections. Maria was also hailed by Felissimo for being "one of the first designers to introduce an exclusive eco collection from recycled materials." Her designs were worn by celebrities, models and aristocrats including Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, Cindy Crawford, Christie Brinkley, Anne Hearst, Mrs. Henry Ford, Princess Olga of Greece and Princess Marie Chantal of Greece.
