A superb book on the life and work of the greatest couturier of the first half of the C20th; lavishly photographed. This is by far the best book on Poiret that has ever been. Glorious dresses, details, many old photographs too as well as sketches from his design studio Martine, his perfumery company Rosine, etc. Black cloth boards with gorgeous pink endpapers. The book is in fine condition, with a near fine dust jacket, the latter with minimal wear along the top edges and a tiny nick at the head of the spine; otherwise clean and smooth. This book is mesmerising, spectacular…
