Madeleine Vionnet

Madeleine Vionnet has been acclaimed as "the Euclid of Fashion", "the unique and perhaps the only creator in the Art of Couture", mistress of the bias cut. Her fame endures, her sinously elegant dresses delight the eye, and couture is indebted to her great technical inventiveness. This volume contains a sweeping overview of her work, including 350 black-and-white and color photographs.
