A fantastic collection of portraits of the most famous “masters of the catwalk,” in a fascinating journey among the mythical figures of haute couture and prêt-à-porter, from their origins to the present day.
Masters of Fashion covers everything 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. It includes 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. It magically recalls the lives, personalities, and immortal creations of the best-known names from the world of fashion, characters who through their inspiration, imagination, energy, and innate sense of elegance have left an indelible mark.
