Invitation Strictly Personal

The fashion show invitation is a statement of intent, providing the first inkling of the designer s vision for that season. Invitation Strictly Personal presents a unique collection of 300 invitations that span the past four decades, from both ready-to-wear and haute couture houses in the fashion capitals of New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Here are some of the key, unforgettable fashion moments such as Alexander McQueen s Memorial Show at St. Paul s Cathedral, Stella McCartney s first show for Chloe, and John Galliano s return to the runway in spring 1994 with the support of Anna Wintour. Most of the invitations come from the personal collection of award-winning author Iain Webb, accumulated over his years as a fashion correspondent. This unique volume also features program notes, lookbooks, posters, and promotional objects all rarely available outside the fashion industry. ISBN:978-1-84796-084-9
