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\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis 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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eFrom 1990 to 1992 \u003cb\u003eClaude Montana\u003c\/b\u003e designed haute couture collections for the House of Lanvin, for which he received two consecutive Golden Thimble awards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarielle Cro\u003c\/b\u003e is a French journalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46553859588257,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780500515396","price":56.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780500515396.jpg?v=1781745776","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/claude-montana-hardcover-by-claude-montana-marielle-cro","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
