Hardback. Zustand: Good. For the first three decades of the twentieth century, the Marchesa Casati astounded Europe: nude servants gilded in gold leaf attended her; bizarre wax mannequins sat as guests at her dining table; and she was infamous for her evening strolls, naked beneath her furs, parading cheetahs on diamond-studded leashes. Artists painted, sculpted, and photographed her; poets praised her strange beauty. Among them were Gabriele D'Annunzio, Man Ray, Jean Cocteau, Cecil Beaton, and American writers Tennessee Williams, Jack Kerouac, and Ezra Pound. Couturiers Fortuny, Poiret, and Ert' dressed her. Some became lovers, others awestruck admirers, but all were influenced by this extraordinary muse. The extravagance ended in 1930 when Casati was more than twenty-five million dollars in debt. Fleeing to London, she spent her final flamboyant years there until her death in 1957. Now nearly a half-century later, Casati's fashion legacy continues to inspire such designers as John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, and Tom Ford.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. This copy signed by the authors on a tipped in plate on the half title page. The Marchesa Luisa Casati (1881-1957) was Europe's most notorious celebrity, and its most eccentric. For the first three decades of the twentieth century she astounded the continent. Nude servants gilded in gold leaf attended her. Bizarre wax mannequins sat as guests at her dining table. She wore live snakes as jewelry, and she was infamous for her evening strolls, naked beneath her furs, parading cheetahs on diamond-studded leashes. She traveled to Venice, Rome, Capri, and Paris - collecting palaces and a menagerie of exotic animals. Her outlandish homes became the setting for some of the century's most outrageous parties. Artists painted and sculpted her, poets praised her strange beauty, and fashion designers fought for her patronage. Among those she captivated were Gabriele D'Annunzio, Man Ray, Augustus John, Erte, Kees Van Dongen, Jean Cocteau, Cecil Beaton, and Jack Kerouac. Some became lovers, others awestruck admirers, but all were influenced by this extraordinary muse. Then the extravagance ended. By 1930, Casati was over twenty-five million dollars in debt. Her wealth gone, she fled to London, where she spent her last years, supported by family and friends and as eccentric as ever. xii, 248 pages, 32 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Marchesa Luisa Casati (1881-1957) war eine der schillerndsten Celebritys Europas. Mit ihren Lebens- und Liebesgeschichten erstaunte und faszinierte die italienische Adelige den Kontinent: Sie sammelte Palazzi und eine Menagerie von exotischen Tieren in Venedig, Rom, Capri und Paris. Maler und Bildhauer porträtierten sie, Dichter priesen ihre fremdartige Schönheit und Modedesigner warben um ihre Gunst. Zu ihren Verehrern zählten Gabriele D'Annunzio, Man Ray, Augustus John, Kees van Dongen, Erté oder Jack Kerouac. Noch zu Beginn des Jahrhunderts als reichste Erbin Italiens umschwärmt, musste sie verarmt in den 1930er Jahren nach London fliehen, wo sie, unterstützt von Freunden, bis zu ihrem Tod 1957 lebte. Ihrem faszinierenden Leben setzten auf der Bühne Vivien Leigh und im Kino Ingrid Bergman ein Denkmal. Bis heute inspirieren ihre Lebensweise und ihr Stil Modedesigner wie John Galliano und Tom Ford.Die erste große Biografie der göttlichen Marchesa spürt der Faszination wie dem Mythos der Casati nach und zeichnet anhand zahlreicher Dokumente und Abbildungen, die großteils zum ersten Mal reproduziert wurden, das Bild einer glamourösen Lebensinszenierung.Aus dem Amerikanischen von Astrid Tautscher. …
