Musings on Fashion and Style: Museo de la Moda

International fashion icon Kate Moss and the premier South American fashion museum Museo de la Moda meet in this undeniably stylish volume that celebrates iconic vintage fashion moments throughout history. The Museo de la Moda, founded in 2007 by fashion collector Jorge Yarur Bascunan, is one of the world s most important but least-known museums of its kind, housing exquisite garments from eighteenth-century Dolman shawls to twenty-first-century sequin dresses by Balmain. Edited by Kate Moss and fashion curator Lydia Kamitsis, this volume features a stylish selection of one hundred archival pieces from the museum, each charting different fashion trends that have inspired Moss s personal sartorial style. Organized by fashion theme, from 1920s opera coats to 1960s Swinging London designs, but also including iconic pieces of pop culture, such as Marilyn Monroe s black dresses and Jimi Hendrix s Indian tunics, each chapter showcases new images of the museum garments as selected by Moss, accompanied by interesting anecdotes and street-style photography documenting Moss wearing that particular fashion trend. This is a chic volume that will appeal to Moss s global following and readers passionate about style, fashion history, design, and culture. See more
