From Iris Apfel's personal collection: A brand new, plastic-wrapped Azzedine Alaia Couture/Sculpture Book.

A semi-rare book with only 5000 copies printed. This book is the catalogue of an exhibition at Rome's Galleria Borghese (2015) showcasing the fashions of the Tunisian couturier Alaia displayed alongside the work of Bernini, Caravaggio and other sculptors. The 65 pieces span Alaia's entire 34 year career in Paris.

Each book will arrive with a provenance card.

Iris Apfel's Library: Renowned maximalist icon Iris Apfel started her career as an interior decorator before founding her textile company, Old World Weavers. For her eclectic sense of personal style, she drew from art, culture and prints and patterns from all over the world. Prized in her personal collection of objects were a vast series of books ranging in subjects from photography to art, design, textiles and fashion. These undoubtedly served as a main source of inspiration behind all her wildly styled, mesmerizing fashion looks. Some of these books are inscribed, bookmarked, or embedded with personal notes. We will note which ones have these little Easter Eggs in the descriptions. 

Due to their authentic provenance and secondhand delicate nature, items from the personal collection of Iris Apfel are final sale and non-returnable.
