Norell: Master of American Fashion
No Customer Reviews
The first book dedicated to the career and creations of esteemed fashion designer Norman Norell (1900-1972), the man hailed as the "Dean of American Fashion" by The New York Times. The book's release coincides with an exhibition of Norell's work at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, curated by the book's author Jeffrey Banks, and is a must-have for anyone interested in, or involved with, the world of fashion. Norman Norell - the first American designer to employ couture techniques, refined workmanship, and luxurious fabrics - created dresses, coats, and suits that critics deemed "the equal of Paris," earning the designer the sobriquet "the American Balenciaga." This book contextualises Norell's impact on American, and international, fashion, and how he forever changed perceptions about New York's Seventh Avenue garment industry.
