In honor of the fashion house’s fiftieth anniversary, Loris Azzaro offers an in-depth look at the life and legacy of French fashion icon Loris Azzaro. This illustrated retrospective reveals a designer who celebrated the female form with unabashed glamour, and fashions that embody the nocturnal sensuality of the sixties and seventies through unexpected cutouts, unapologetic, infinite slits, and veiled and embroidered transparencies. Personally, professionally, and creatively fearless, Azzaro’s forward-leaning creations and disconcerting charm made him the go-to couturier for royalty and celebrity alike, and the face of a truly intoxicating chapter in fashion’s history.
