The Impossible Collection of Fashion
Author: Valerie Steele
SHIPMENTS TO ALL COLOMBIA.
In this limited edition Ultimate Collection in linen clamshell format and oversized handmade book, Valerie Steele flexes her curatorial muscle by showcasing the most iconic dresses of the 20th century . From Poiret to Pucci , Doucet to Dior , Vionnet to Valentino , Steele selects one hundred dresses that caused a sensation on the catwalk or upon entering a room, and ultimately inspired new directions in fashion. Steele has selected, among others, Paul Poiret’s figure-freeing 1907 gown, Madame Grès’s 1938 creation, a goddess with sublime draping, Jean Paul Gaultier’s 1984 gown, with an exaggerated, conical corset, and Hussein Chalayan’s stunning 2000 dress, a remote-controlled fiberglass airplane. The compilation, while subjective, is sure to elicit reactions of recognition and the occasional gasp of surprise.
Complimentary white gloves and a signature canvas bag are included with every purchase of Assouline's Ultimate Collection.
