About This Item
NY: E. P. Dutton & Co., 1954. First Edition. . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. First printing. Black cloth with lettering in shocking pink and shocking pink dustjacket. Inscribed and SIGNED by the author on the half title page. (It's difficult to decipher the inscription -- her penmanship was atrocious -- but it appears to be: Thank you for your friendship, or something like that). The book is in very good condition. The dustjacket is edgeworn, to include a 1" chip to top of the spine and a smaller chip to the bottom. Not priceclipped and no markings. Born in Italy, the author was the leading Parisian fashion designer in the 1920s and 30s, an interesting time and place, to say the least. Signed copies of her memoir are quite scarce.
