Items related to Hanae Mori: Highlights from a Lifetime in Fashion
Synopsis
Since her first smash-hit fashion show in New York's Hotel Delmonico thirty-five years ago, designer Hanae Mori has gone from strength to strength, establishing herself as the preeminent Japanese couturiere of the modern period.
Mori's trademark was the butterfly and, like a butterfly, her career has been restless: never confining herself just to the glitz of seasonal shows in Paris, London, Milan, Munich and New York, she has designed for the ballet (Nureyev's Cinderella), the movies, theater, and opera (appropriately, Madama Butterfly), and has also created designs for shoes, stockings, gloves, ties, belts, handbags, umbrellas, sunglasses, aprons, carpets, and lacquerware.
In this pictorial celebration of her work, she has personally selected over 80 examples of her best creations, from the 1960s to the present day. Together they form a retrospective of a true artist's lifetime achievements.
