Item Number: 122199 Title: Mannequins BONAVERI : A History of Creativity Fashion and Art Author: Bauzano, Gianluca Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788857214788 Description: Milan: Skira, 2013. 33cm., hardcover, 245pp. prof. illus., most in color. Italian-English text. Summary: Mannequins as symbols but also as objects for communication. Outright protagonists of the figurative arts, an ineluctable go-between for fashion when it needs to tell its own story: in the window displays of international shopping, under the vaults of museums where the evolution of style and stylists is exhibited. Bonaveri has been a careful and creative interpreter of this universe for the past sixty years. The company is known around the world for its mannequin collections, a successful example of the Made in Italy heritage. Testimonies given by art and fashion historians, interviews with the leading figures in the fashion system, all framed by a sophisticated and rich iconography, reveal the secrets of the success, history and the allure of these objects that are only apparently soulless.
