Buffalo quietly defined the look of 80s youth culture, especially in the UK, and this legacy of an uncompromisingly urban style has since inspired legions of designers, stylists, and photographers who were part of the gang, but who absorbed and understood the images and references and made them their own in cities the world over. Buffalo has been curated by Jamie Morgan and Mitzi Lorenz, two founding members of Buffalo who knew Ray Petri intimately. Design is by Phil Bicker, Art Director of Vogue Homme International, with artist Barry Kamen, another well known Buffalo alumnus. Included are text contributions by leading European fashion mag names Paul Rambali, former editor The Face; Dylan Jones, GQ; and Nick Logan, originator of The Face, and the man who, perhaps more than any other, helped deliver Petri's uniquely uncompromising message to a hungry, style-starved world.
In very good condition.

Dior "loved his dresses as though they were people: they were his creatures until the day when they left his house," writes Giroud, former French minister of culture, in the brief but informative biographical essay that forms the first part of this beautiful book. Van Dorssen's photographs, supplemented by now-historic pictures by Horst, Irving Penn, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Cecil Beaton and others (and nearly indistinguishable in style and beauty from those by the master fashion photographers), bear out Giroud's description, revealing the fine fabrics, stunning craftsmanship and dramatic design with which Dior revolutionized the fashion industry in the post-World War II years. Giroud relates that Dior founded his fashion empire with the advice of two clairvoyants and that he was a country farmer between his first and secondand more successfulstints as a designer in Paris, and demonstrates how Dior's licensing agreements set a pattern for all designers. The photographs document Dior's relations with the most glamorous women of his time and behind-the-scenes activities in the ateliers and at shows. Dior died in 1957, only 10 years after introducing his first collection, which featured the "New Look." But that brief career gripped the public imagination, and this well-designed book will remind readers why Dior's name is still synonymous with haute couture.
Apart from minor wear to dustjacket, a very fine copy.
