Known as the gardener of fashion, Ken Scott designed large-scale flowers that blossomed on fabrics and whole outfits and have recently been rediscovered in Guccis Epilogue collection.The American fashion designer Ken Scott was a masterful creator of fabrics, mapping out flowers with romanticism and multiplying them as he transformed them into something that stood out and reflected his eclectic personality.Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Scott moved to Milan in the 1950s, where he pioneered many colorful patterned fabrics and collections and founded the Falconetto brand. Known for bright floral patterns with peonies, roses, poppies, sunflowers, petunias, and asters, Scott followed a maximalist design philosophy when it came to his vibrant line.

Nemolato desentraña los éxitos y los fracasos del Yves Saint Laurent hasta el día de su muerte, el 1 de julio de 2008.

Sybilla salta a la escena de la moda española en el año 1983. Muy pronto la crítica la reconoce como la mejor diseñadora que ha dado nuestro país desde Cristóbal Balenciaga.Podría no parecer fácil encontrar el hilo conductor en su produccion; sin embargo, como pretende mostrar esta exposicion, ese hilo invisible existe y esta presente en forma de lenguajes que le permiten jugar al despiste y dan coherencia a toda su obra.Sybilla made her grand entrance on the Spanish fashion scene en 1983, and critics soon hailed her as the greatest designer our country had produced since Cristobal Balenciaga.It might seem difficult to find a unifying thread in her production; yet, as this exhibition intends to show, that invisible thread does exist and is present in the languages that allow her to ramain pplayfylly elusive and lend coherence to her entire body of work.

Su vida, sin embargo, estuvo plagada de dificultades.

This irresistible, authorized, illustrated gift book from the luxury brand Hermes is an homage, in stories and drawings, to the artisans and craftsmen who have been the foundation of the iconic brand since its beginnings as a saddle-maker for the carriage trade in 19th-century Paris. The stories are short, pithy, often quite witty, and they include first-person accounts from the leather artisans, silk manufacturers, and goldsmiths, gardeners, window dressers, designers, and electricians who have plied their craft at Hermes.We learn about quirky characters in the atelier who refuse to share their tools, of an elevator ride with a visiting President Nixon that went badly wrong, of a life-sized white rhinoceros made for a window display that disappears in Switzerland, reappears in Colorado, and returns, eventually, to Paris. A concise and witty company history, the book shares genuine love for the craft of producing luxury goods of the highest quality. Even if you can't afford to buy your partner a Hermes bag or wallet, you can afford to give them this enchanting book.
