Hardcover. Zustand: 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.
