Jacqueline Demornex - Madeleine Vionnet - 1991

First American edition. 305 pages, richly illustrated in color and black-and-white. Text in English. This massive, richly printed hardcover volume remains the major monograph on the chic haute couture of the twenties and thirties by the influential French designer Madame Madeleine Vionnet. The majority of the fashions have been newly photographed for this book by Patricia Canino, but many vintage images of personalities such as Cecil Beaton, Dorvyne, Horst, Edward Steichen, and many others are also included. A brand-new, very elegant example of the first English-language edition from Rizzoli International Publications in 1991. Fashion monograph.
