Fine in Fine jacket. This is a fine hardcover copy with a fine dust jacket with no wear at all. Completely clean. This work was originally published in Japan by Kyuryudo in 1991.

Illustrated throughout in color and black & white with lots of vintage photographs and prints as well as color photographs of Vionnet dresses in private collections. Because Kirke started out as a designer of women's clothing herself she is able to add interesting details on how individual dresses 'work'. 15" high X 11" wide, 244 pages. Large heavy book, foreign shipping will be extra. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
