Treballa amb nosaltres

Fashion magazine editor; gallerist, publisher and
photography collector; founder of 10 Corso Como, the
world's first concept store; founder of Fondazione Sozzani;
creator of her own lifestyle brand; champion of designers,
artisans and artists alike: Carla Sozzani is a key figure in
the international worlds of fashion, art and design.
This book, based on exclusive interviews, is the first
full-length illustrated biography of the interdisciplinary
icon, who has for decades been driven by her desire to
share her vision of beauty. Beginning with her bourgeois
childhood in Italy, the text takes us to Sozzani's early
love of fashion and passion for travel; her trajectory as
a magazine editor, including working on special issues
for Vogue Italia (her sister Franca Sozzani would edit the
magazine for 28 years) and launching the Italian edition of
Elle; embracing unmarried motherhood in conservative
Milan; founding her own publishing company, as well as a
gallery that has staged hundreds of exhibitions; launching
her own fashion label; helping to propel fashion designers
Romeo Gigli and Azzedine Alaïa to worldwide fame; and
creating in collaboration with her longterm partner, artist
Kris Ruhs the world's first concept store, 10 Corso Como.
Featuring photographs from Sozzani's personal
albums, as well as images by fashion greats such as Paolo
Roversi, Sarah Moon, Bruce Weber and Mats Gustafson,
the book is a testament to Sozzani's inspirational style and
career. Through its pages, author Louise Baring offers a
fascinating look at the life and work of a true trailblazer
