Cinzia Giorgio - Az Italian fashion nagyasszonyai

What would have happened if Maddalena Splendori, the most influential Italian muse of the early 20th century, met the founder of one of today's leading fashion brands, fashion designer Adele Casagrande? What if they had been friends?
The Grandmothers of Italian Fashion, spanning ninety years, is the novel of this imagined close friendship spanning generations. In the story, which is based on real historical persons and events, we get to know brave, pioneering, hardworking and purposeful female creators who, despite all the difficulties, have achieved enormous success in a world dominated by men.
On the pages of the novel, the world of beauty and elegance comes to life, we can absorb the unadulterated Italian feeling of life, walk through Rome in the 1920s, and then see how a modest family business becomes an internationally recognized fashion brand with the help of the legendary Karl Lagerfeld. We can be present at the birth of iconic collections, pieces of which regularly appeared in the films of Federico Fellini and Franco Zeffirelli, among others, and which were worn by celebrities such as Sophia Loren, Liza Minelli or Jackie Kennedy.
