Publisher's Synopsis

A collection of books which reveal the creative process of leading international figures in fashion design. "Fashion Unfolds" gives an intimate look into the secret, multifaceted and fascinating world of past and contemporary fashion designers, like precious objects that reflect each designer philosophy. As well as hundreds of images each book includes unpublished interviews and essays by the industry's leading journalists. These books reveal the poetry of processes and precision that have led to the most unexpected creativity. They are materials for study, providing inspiration and awe. Born in Alghero (Italy) in 1961, growing up among the prints and embroideries of his father's boutique, Antonio Marras quickly established himself in the fashion world, bringing onto the catwalk creations heavily influenced by Sardinian traditions and his strong passion for art. Starting from iconic pieces personally chosen by Marras as the most representative of the entire body of his work, the book is a collage of words and images that travels backwards focusing on significant moments in Marras' design process. Inspirations from poems, landscapes, exhibitions or faces take shape through fine watercolours and pencil sketches.

About the Publisher

Moleskine

Moleskine

It all started many years ago, with a pocket-sized black object, the product of a great tradition. The?Moleskine notebook is, in fact, the heir and successor to the legendary notebook used by artists and thinkers over the past two centuries: among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. A simple black rectangle with rounded corners, an elastic page-holder, and an internal expandable pocket: a nameless object with a spare perfection all its own, produced for over a century by a small French bookbinder that supplied the stationery shops of Paris, where the artistic and literary avant-gardes of the world browsed and bought them. A trusted and handy travel companion, the notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or the pages of beloved books.
