Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
The late legendary fashion designers of modern times spoke endlessly about life, design and inspiration - Vionette, Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, McQueen - these names define what haute couture is. Even though they are long gone, their influence on fashion is still profound. By sorting out and compiling the original words of these masters, "Confessions of Fashion" provides a unique and in-depth perspective, allowing us to better understand these fashion icons.
Pamela Goblin cleverly designed a series of dialogues with masters in the book, allowing readers to more vividly understand the legendary stories and sources of inspiration of these masters - Paul Poiret, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Madame Grey, Alexander McQueen, Madeleine Vionette, Gabrielle Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Jeanne Lanvin, Pierre Balmain, Christian Dior. Each "interview" answers the questions that every fashion lover wants to ask.
The author also invited the famous illustrator Jan Legendre to draw illustrations for the book, making these legendary characters come alive on paper, making them more humane and inspiring.
John Galliano wrote the introduction to the book: "Crazy Ellen (Madeleine Vionette) and Chacha Nelli (Coco Chanel) often invited me to their homes for tea, but I was always stood up. The samples whispered to me. Their voices came to me through strings of pearls and cuts of tailoring. Now they speak, with clear opinions and illustrations."
