Zustand: Near fine in very good jacket. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. First printing. First edition of this photographic meditation on the concept of allure by the "High Priestess of Fashion" ? with warm gift inscription from Vreeland's most important prot?g?: Andr? Leon Talley. Andr? Leon Talley considered himself a graduate of "The Vreeland School" and spoke of Mrs. Vreeland ("Never Diana!") as both "the most extraordinary visionary" and a surrogate mother, second in influence only to the grandmother who raised him. Vreeland, a self-described "enfant terrible," led the fashion industry with exacting vision and iconoclastic sensibilities for nearly fifty years ? shaping and influencing the careers of Oscar de la Renta, Bill Blass, Halston, Richard Avedon, Mark Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Manolo Blahnik, and Carolina Herrera, among others. In the early '70s, while serving as Special Consultant to the Costume Institute, she met and immediately claimed as apprentice the young ALT. Like his mentor, Talley would become an undeniable force in the fashion world, using his editorial and creative design influence to champion designers like Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo (of Comme des Gar?ons), Rick Owens, Jason Wu, LaQuan Smith, and comeback king John Galliano. With this copy of ALLURE, Talley gifted not just an inimitable fashion portfolio but a lens through which to trace the chains of artistic influence still visible in today's world of luxury fashion. 15.25'' x 11''.

Hardcover, 270 pages, ENG, 335 x 255 x 40 mm, NEW !!, protection case, Large Format, Full Page coloured illustrated, rare ex, . ISBN 9783865211514. "Michael Roberts is the Jean Cocteau of the fashion world," wrote the celebrated New Yorker editor Tina Brown in 1997, welcoming her new fashion editor to the most prestigious magazine in the world. Having already served for many years as a style editor (The London Sunday Times, Vanity Fair) and having produced numerous illustrations, photographs, paintings and columns of fashion criticism for various media, Roberts had already had his name coupled with Cocteau's, but his striking visual style is collected here for the first time. From evocative pen-and-ink sketches to acrylic paintings to intensely witty New Yorker covers created from cut paper, these works capture the fads, foibles and fashionability of our times. Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue, in her introduction to "this beautiful book" calls them "fiendishly accurate satire." And the shoe guru Manolo Blahnik writes, "His drawings grasp fashion moments like a photo could never do." That a major part of the book was created through the painstaking method of paper collage especially appeals to the internationally famed fashion designer John Galliano. He writes, "I have avidly collected his work, along with doing my own collages, for years, and I am honored to be a part of this book." 2630 g.
