{"product_id":"claude-montana-claude-montana-9780500515396","title":"Claude Montana: Fashion Radical","description":"The Montana woman embodied an extraordinary new image: razor- sharp tailoring and strong silhouettes with dramatic proportions and masculine lines, enlivened by an astonishing mix of detail and bold hues. Materials, colors, and cut were all vehicles for Claude Montana's effervescent genius, and it was the Lanvin period in the early 1990s that marked the absolute high point of his creativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book looks at the principles and practices that underpin Montana's work. It records numerous conversations with Montana himself that help us to understand the essential forces that have shaped his work, while scores of catwalk images and reproductions of his sketches reveal the energy and singularity of his vision. It is a journey punctuated with intimate comments and observations by those who have accompanied the designer at different points along the way--among others, the photographers Dominique Issermann, Tyen, and Paolo Roversi; the embroiderer François Lesage; the designer Alain Mikli; and the makeup artist Olivier Echaudemaison. Their moving testimonies are scattered throughout these pages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claude Montana, Marielle Cro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500515395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500515396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.74h x 9.80w x 0.94d","brand":"Claude Montana","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46420213760255,"sku":"9780500515396","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a7b4837-0ddc-4c2f-b2bb-ad4da3f1e68c.jpg?v=1734633969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/claude-montana-claude-montana-9780500515396","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
