Wonderful book about a wonder subject ! Going through old magazines her name came up quite often and I was happy to learn more about her . She is such a legend.
From the forties to the seventies, from the Rome atelier in her family’s Palazzo to her Paris boutique on Rue François, the innovative lines of her daring creative fashion had a deep effect on the taste of the tight circle of aristocrats she was part of as well as on the lifestyles of consumers in the great international market.. Simonetta, a living legend as beautiful as any of her models, is an aristocrat by birth and has spent her youth amidst the international celebrities for whom she designed her sophisticated clothes; among them: Lauren Bacall, Dorothy McGuire, and Silvana Mangano
"a richly illustrated look at the influential and pioneering designer and her innovative work from 1946 to 1971." Harper's Bazaar"new homage to Simonetta gives the single-named stunner her due, thanks to scholarly authors, scads of archival photos of the designer & her ground-breaking work, and even illustrations by the inimitable Ruben Toledo who contributed to a Simonetta retrospective mounted at the Palazzo Pitti."
