Couture Confessions: Fashion Legends in Their Own Words

Couture Confessions: Fashion Legends in Their Own Words

Late legendary couturiers of modern fashion speaking eloquently about life, design, and inspiration. Vionnet, Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, McQueenâ€”these names define haute couture, and long after the designers have passed away, their influence on fashion continues to be profound. In an exceptional compilation of the original words of these couturiers, Couture Confessions provides a unique and in-depth look at the lives and work of these fashion icons. In this engaging, beautifully designed book, Pamela Golbin, acclaimed chief curator of twentieth-century fashion and textiles at Parisâ€™s MusÃ©e des Arts DÃ©coratifs, has ingeniously constructed conversations in the designersâ€™ own words that highlight their compelling personal stories as well as essential fashion "moments"â€”from designers Paul Poiret, CristÃ³bal Balenciaga, Madame GrÃ¨s, Alexander McQueen, Madeleine Vionnet, and Gabrielle Chanel to Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Jeanne Lanvin, Pierre Balmain, and Christian Dior. Featuring striking illustrations by internationally recognized illustrator Yann Legendre, each "interview" asks the questions every fashion lover has always wanted to ask, making these legends approachable, human, and ever more inspiring.
