If they wanted to relaunch Poiret they should have hired Romeo. I miss his designs. He was one of the very few who knew how to mix couture with commercial.

Thanks Miss!

That magical period from 89-93 was unspeakably, untouchably, uncannily gorgeous. McQueen the man absolutely learned much from him and the influence is so clear in his own collections, in both design and presentation, in particular “The Girl Who Lived In A Tree” collection seems a ode to Romeo. It’s too bad Romeo couldn’t translate and evolve his brand of romanticism for the times, which is surprising since once his collections are separated from their dreamy Byzantine princess styling, they’re really simple and sharp pieces consisting of suits/jackets/coats. And in that sense, Haider is the modern day Romeo.

“Paolo Roversi photographed during several seasons, between 1985 and 1988, the collections for the Italian designer Romeo Gigli. This book is a selection of the most significant and suggestive of these publicity campaigns.
Despite the different subjects, an image rises of the ideal women, elegant, fragile and mysterious. The book is also the story of the meeting between two artistic universes with their similarities and their differences."
