The imaginative universe of Piero Fornasetti, an iconic figure of Italy’s economic boom, and the creative continuity of his son Barnaba.

Piero Fornasetti started his business in the immediate postwar period, when in 1947 — encouraged by Gio Ponti, who first sensed his talent — he presented ceramics at the eighth Milan Triennale. In the early 1950s, together with Ponti, he created the furnishings for the great Italian transatlantic liners, a fruitful collaboration that would give him great visibility. Piero Fornasetti quickly expanded production with furniture, furnishings and accessories, household objects, and fabrics, becoming an iconic designer in Italy as the country was reborn, rebuilt, and transformed after the war in the years of the economic boom. Some of Fornasetti’s furniture — the trumeau, the desk, the chest of drawers — have fully entered the history of twentieth-century Italian design.

After Piero’s death in 1988, his son Barnaba took the reins of the company, enhancing his father’s incredible visual archive, relaunching the brand, and ferrying it toward international development of great prestige, with exhibitions and activities in museums around the world.

Fornasetti is a brand that is now known all over the world and is sought-after by international collectors. The imaginative universe that Fornasetti builds around its ironic objects and outside any conventions is unique and unparalleled.

This book, made in close collaboration with Barnaba Fornasetti, who has penned the foreword, traces the story of this exciting human and creative adventure.

Graduating from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s, Martin Margiela (and his contemporaries in the Antwerp Six) transformed global fashion with his aggressive restatement of traditional fashion design and a polemical approach to luxury trends. Working first with the house of Gaultier, Margiela absorbed the radical design of Japanese deconstruction, making it wholly his own with the founding of his own label in 1988. Margiela propounds a singular, enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction - a monochromatic palette, outsized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed seams, or roughly appliquéd details - to develop a fully considered worldview, one with elegance, mystery, and menace in equal measure.

This book provides an inside look at the design process from a craftsman who creates pieces prized for their originality, delicacy, and daring. In the spirit of Margiela’s garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. This book provides a window onto the intimate, handmade world of a unique designer.

About the Author:

Martin Margiela, born in 1957 in Leuven, Belgium, is the principal designer of his own Paris-based fashion house.

For Dolce&Gabbana, Monica Bellucci embodies the dream of la dolce vita. This book tells the story of a diva and her unique style.

Monica Bellucci and Dolce&Gabbana have an unbreakable bond. Their first meeting took place during a casting session for a fashion show, when it was love at first sight. Since then, the muse has continued to inspire the two designers, who are now paying their respects to her wholly Italian sensuality, beauty, and charisma in this volume. The unique style of the contemporary diva is presented in a large-format photo book, as a celebration of the career and beauty of the model, actress, and woman.

Babeth Djian, editor of the French magazine Numéro, has curated the art direction of the volume; Jean-Baptiste Mondino has created 12 wonderful portraits of Monica specifically for this project, which will be accompanied by the advertising campaigns, editorials, and most iconic shots in which she posed for the great masters of photography. Two previously unpublished interviews with Monica Bellucci and Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana seal this indissoluble connection forever.

Domenico Dolce started to collaborate with his father in the family clothing business while studying fashion design. Stefano Gabbana began to work in various fashion studios thanks to his graphic design background. Their joint debut dates to October 1985, when the designers presented their first collection, achieving great success. Since then, Dolce&Gabbana has experienced a constant and unstoppable ascendancy. Elisabeth “Babeth” Djian is the founder and editor-in-chief of Numéro magazine.
