great illustration
I'm a big fan of this amazing fashion designer of the 50's and this book showed parts of her work that I didn't know.

I'm a big fan of this amazing fashion designer of the 50's and this book showed parts of her work that I didn't know. Although she has a big role in the fashion world, I couldn't find many photos or drawings about her work, and this book helped me a lot with that.

This review is from: Schiaparelli Fashion Review Paper Dolls (Paperback)
