Fashion designer Loris Azzaro embodied an era. His fashion house, founded in Paris in 1967, was known for visionary silhouettes, slinky silk jerseys, daring cut-outs, and ornate beading and embroidery.
Starting with his wife and muse Michelle, Azzaro (b. Tunisia, 1933; d. Paris, 2003) created clothes for beautiful women – among them Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch, Marisa Berenson, Isabelle Adjani, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, and Nicole Kidman. His style was seductive and modern, imbued with audacity and Parisian elegance. He created both mens’ and womens’ collections, and became well known for his perfumes.
Filled with interviews with people who knew and worked with Azzaro, this sumptuous new book focuses on themes important to the designer: style, inspiration, contemporaneity, perfumes, and family. The stunning illustrations include photographs from the Azzaro archives by Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and other well-known fashion photographers, as well as magazine covers from Vogue, Elle, and more.

Audrey Hepburn wore clothes with such talent and flair that she created a style, which in turn had a major impact on fashion. Her chic, her youth, her bearing and her silhouette grew ever more celebrated, enveloping in me a kind of aura or radiance that I could never have hoped for.
- Hubert de Givenchy
Givenchy was the creative mind behind many of Audrey Hepburn’s most beloved movie costumes. The two connected in the 1950s, when both were rising stars, and though the designer later would laugh over his initial disappointment that the “Miss Hepburn” he was meeting wasn’t Katharine, they forged an immediate bond. There’s no better example of that partnership than this iconic dress: the black cocktail frock worn, with casual insouciance, by Hepburn in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s.’ Together the on-screen and off-screen collaborations of Herbert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn resulted not only to iconic pop culture moments, but revolutionised the fashion world’s idea of the modern woman.

Alfred Stevens, After the Ball. 1874
This painting, also known as Confidence, is one of several by Stevens to treat the theme of consolation. As in his other works from the 1870s, here the anecdotal content of a letter containing distressing news asserts itself in a glimpse of the life of fashionable Parisian women in their elegant interiors. Stevens's subject matter and his meticulous attention to contemporary dress and decor elicited analogies to seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish art; in fact, one critic called him the Gerard ter Borch of France.
