Description

This is a fine hardcover copy with a fine dust jacket with no wear at all. Completely clean. This work was originally published in Japan by Kyuryudo in 1991. First edition, 2nd printing. Ms. Kirke worked on this for nearly two decades after spotting a Vionnet dress in 1973 while she was teaching at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Illustrated throughout in color and black & white with lots of vintage photographs and prints as well as color photographs of Vionnet dresses in private collections. Because Kirke started out as a designer of women's clothing herself she is able to add interesting details on how individual dresses 'work'. 15" high X 11" wide, 244 pages. Large heavy book, foreign shipping will be extra. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
