Items related to Lucien Lelong l'intemporel
Lucien Lelong was a central figure in French fashion from the 1920s to the 1950s, and his designs were in many ways precursors of contemporary fashion shapes and developments. Noted for his skill, exquisite workmanship and beautiful fabrics, Lelong and his house promoted a fluid, minimalist, elegant look. Lelong blended modern design with a strong business sense and was noted for both his fashions and his entrepeneurship. He was one of the earliest designers to diversify into lingerie, accessories and perfumes, and in 1934 he introduced a luxury ready-to-wear line. During the Occupation in World War II he was instrumental in persuading the Germans to allow French couture houses to remain in Paris rather than moving to Berlin. This book, a wonderfully illustrated history of Lelong and his house, chronicles the period and its leading personalities, artists and designers.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Figure centrale de la mode des années vingt aux années cinquante, aujourd'hui méconnu, Lucien Lelong fut à bien des égards le précurseur de la mode dans ses formes et ses développements les plus actuels. Partisan dès 1925 d'une silhouette "kinétique", c'est-à-dire d'une ligne souple, moderne, dynamique, il fut aussi le premier à imaginer, une dizaine d'années plus tard, le prêt-à-porter de luxe et à penser l'unité d'une production, du vêtement aux accessoires et aux parfums, considérant la mode autant dans sa dimension esthétique qu'industrielle et commerciale. Il concevait ses modèles comme des épures d'architecte, épousant le corps pour mieux le libérer. Ses drapés sont aussi fluides et sculpturaux - en quoi ils inspirèrent les plus grands photographes, de Horst à Beaton - que ceux d'une Madeleine Vionnet ou d'une Madame Grès. Premier ouvrage entièrement consacré au couturier, riche d'une iconographie fascinante et souvent inédite, le livre de Jacqueline Demornex offre en même temps la chronique d'une période et de ses acteurs, artistes et créateurs célèbres, de Chanel à Serge Lifar, et de Cocteau à l'énigmatique, la solaire Nathalie Paley, objet de la folle passion du poète, mais qui choisit d'épouser Lelong, et d'en devenir la muse. - Nombre de page(s) : 141 - Poids : 1215g - Genre : Littérature française Romans Nouvelles Correspondance LE PROMENEUR.
