What is more interesting than discovering the haute couture creations showcased on the runways is to hear a couturier speaking about life, design and inspiration. This e-book highlights this exact vision through a unique and in-depth look at the lives and work of designers, whose influence on the couture world is still alive even after their death.

From Vionnet to Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, McQueen, Balmain, Lanvin and many more, chief curator of twentieth century fashion and textiles at Paris’ Musée des Arts Décoratifs Pamela Golbin has constructed conversations using the designers’ own words. This engaging book tells their personal stories and their most striking fashion moments.

With amazing illustrations by Yann Legendre, this book asks and answers every question that once came to the mind of every fashion lover – making these legends more inspiring than ever.
