Maurizio Galimberti: Around Enrico Coveri (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9788836639991)

Italian photographer Maurizio Galimberti (born 1956) never had a chance to meet Enrico Coveri (1952-1990), the fashion designer renowned for his exuberant, eccentric collections festooned with sequins and fantastical prints. But Enrico Coveri's nephew, Francesco Martini Coveri (now at the helm of his uncle's fashion house) has orchestrated a meeting between these two artists, inviting the photographer--who had never previously worked in fashion--to engage with the designer's archive and reinterpret his legacy on the occasion of the brand's 45th anniversary.

In Maurizio Galimberti: Around Enrico Coveri, Galimberti transforms Coveri's sketches, designs and photographs into lush, colorful Polaroid mosaics. Galimberti's fragmented photographic compositions are a fitting translation of the creative universe of the designer, as Coveri never went anywhere without bringing his Polaroid camera with him to document his work and his life.
