VOGUE ON: ELSA SCIAPARELLI (PB)

A true original, Elsa Sciaparelli collaborated with artists such as Salvador Dali and Man Ray, pioneered the runway show and designed costumes for film-stars from Mae West to Marlene Dietrich. She used film and stage as a publicity vehicle for her label, and her advertising graphics were far ahead of their time. Through the photographs and illustrations of Vogue that championed Schiaparelli from the first picture of her revolutionary Bow-knot sweater in 1927, this book presents the enduring legacy of this daring and visionary designer.
