N2  - Anna Piaggi is a brilliant fashion editor, an arbiter of taste and design, and one of the most original personalities in the fashion world. For more than two decades she has been a freelance editor of Italian Vogue and founder of the avant-garde magazine Vanity, interpreting artistic developments with insight and intelligence and helping to set trends herself; For some years she has been contributing condensed double-page collages to Vogue, astonishing in their fantasy and freedom, which with their suggestive images encapsulate moments and trends in the ever-changing kaleidoscope of fashion. This series of declarations, the result of her total enthusiasm and addiction for the creative output of the up-and-coming as well as established couturiers, covers an incredible range of fashion, both women's and men's, and hints at the sources of inspiration which only someone with her unique and devoted involvement can dictate; This ravishing book, intense with color and flair, is and will become a cult object, not only for the fashion world but for all those with a taste for innovative graphic design -- the hallmark of Italian Vogue for many years
