1916- 1996

Her portrait
for the American Vogue
a few years

before she died,

her story.

"Her most famous design was the evening pants she introduced in Florence about a decade after starting her company, with styles either slim and embroidered or flowing in gauzy fabrics. Diana Vreeland, in Vogue, called them “palazzo pajamas,” after the setting of the shows in the Palazzo Pitti."

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

The story of an illustrious and beloved grand father

told by his grand daughter.

The life of one of the greatest painter of the 20th Century

illustrated with hundreds of photographs from the family albums.

I could have reproduced every page.
Utterly charming and delightful.

Even though the text is in French,
it's worth having by all means.

The best book I've seen in years.

Raf Simons home in Antwerp.

photographed for the Wall Street Journal.

"If Raf Simons weren't the influential fashion designer behind Jil Sander and his own eponymous line, he'd like to be a ceramicist. "There's something so romantic about it," he says. "I think about the South of France, the nature of clay, working with your hands."

"Portraits and fashion shots commissioned by magazines
defaced with shells collected on the Bay of Biscay.
There’s an unavoidable sense of a lively pun
at play here between the calcareous artifact of marine life
with the living skull. A playful attempt to undermine pomposity and vanity,
an homage to Marcel Duchamp's mustached Mona Lisa."

"Although impossible to rival, you were still expected to follow Her example but of course you could only fail. No matter how much praying you did, you were never going to be a virgin and a mother. She was the only decent, unsullied woman for that celibate crowns of priests who decided whether you were eligible for heaven or not."
