Creatively fearless, Azzaro designed fashions that embody the nocturnal sensuality of the sixties and seventies, making him the go-to couturier for royalty and celebrity alike. In honour 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 cut-outs, 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. AUTHOR: Jéromine Savignon is the author of Cacharel, Le Liberty and Jacques Fath (both published by Assouline) as well as L'Esprit Vionnet (Universite de la Mode de Lyon).
