Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: vg. First American edition. Folio. 190, [2]pp. Original pictorial wrappers over black cloth, with gold lettering on front cover and spine. Fascinating account of a project born after 4 years of bitter occupation. In an attempt to exorcise the recent past, to begin once again to enjoy life and liberty regained, couturiers, jewelers, milliners and hairdressers took on a formidable challenge: to present the Haute Couture collections of Spring 1945 on miniature figurines in theatre decors signed by artists such as Cocteau, Bérard, Kochno, Malclès. This book recounts their story from their conception to their creation by the couturiers and decorators to their triumphal tour of Europe and the United States. This work is profusely illustrated with numerous color and b/w photographic reproductions (many being full-page). Minor closed tear on upper edge of back cover of wrappers. Small dent on upper edge of back board of binding. Fly leaf inscribed by previous owner. Wrappers and binding in overall good to very good, interior in very good condition.
