About This Item
Milan, et al: Valentino Atelier by Carnet, Elegance, Exclusive Distributor for North America, 1994. Thick 4to. 12.75 x 12.25 in. [106 pp (assorted pagination).] With 51 colour fashion designs, 136 tipped-in cotton, silk, wool, acrylic, and blend fabric sample swatches, several printed fabric samples. Black silk cloth, gilt lettering stamped on front cover, numbered on colophon at rear (very minor rubbing, edgewear), still VG bright copy. First edition, No. 970, of this sumptuously illustrated sample fashion catalogue from one of the greatest Italian Couturiers, Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani, the incomparable fashion designer. This collection was representative of many of Valentino’s collections of the 1990’s integrating themes of revival and self-reference-flounces, embroidery, and dots, partly as a way of highlighting his 30 years of fashion designs. In addition, these designs and their fabrics reflect a foreshadowing of the later mid-1990’s shift towards a more bohemian style drawing upon 1970’s fashions mixing fabrics, embroidery, and Eastern influences in their designs. No copies located in Worldcat; See: Pelle & Mauries, Valentino. Thirty years of magic (1990); Pelle, Valentino’s Magic (1998).
