Carla Sozzani

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The first full-length illustrated biography of the legendary Carla Sozzani (b. 1947), a key figure in the international worlds of fashion, art and design.

For over fifty years, Carla Sozzani's drive and passion have propelled her multifaceted career in fashion, art and design. She has forged a unique path as a magazine editor, gallerist, publisher and photography collector, in addition to founding the world's first concept store and creating her own clothing and lifestyle brand. A champion of artists and designers, she is above all an inimitable tastemaker.

This book tells the story of Carla's early life in Milan and the career that followed, including stints at Italian Vogue and Elle working with iconic photographers Paolo Roversi, Helmut Newton, Sarah Moon, Bruce Weber and Nick Knight, as well as illustrator Mats Gustafson; a lasting friendship and collaboration with designer Azzedine Alaia and creative partnership with artist Kris Ruhs; and launching 10 Corso Como and the Fondazione Sozzani cultural space. Louise Baring's vivid account of Carla Sozzani's life and work celebrates the ever-inventive ways a true trailblazer has found to share her vision of beauty with the world.
