Full Description
"What more glorious claim to fame could there be than Milliner to the Queen? ", asks Stéphane Bern in his preface to this exclusive book marking the 30th anniversary of MAISON FABIENNE DELVIGNE.
The
book traces the exceptional career of Fabienne Delvigne, the Belgian
entrepreneur, hat designer and craftswoman who creates highend luxury
products. Across Europe, Fabienne Delvigne's designs sublimate the
beauty of women. Her unique talent was recognised in 2001, when she
gained the trust of the Belgian royal family, who awarded her the
coveted title of Warrant Holder of the Court of Belgium.
In this
book, Fabienne casts a refined and joyful gaze on the world of fashion,
and introduces us into her world, a world made up encounters, hard work,
inspiring walks, and the joy of practising her craft every day. An
original and exhilarating volume that not only looks back on the
milliner's career, but also reveals a woman of character who defends an
artistic heritage while being of her time. Since 2008, alongside her
Haute Couture collections, she has designed, for each season, a Studio
Collection composed of stylish, prêt-à-porter hats.
The
body of the text? The words that helped her fashion her creative
universe. The spirit moving that body? Passion, her passions. Anecdotes,
recollections, previously unseen projects, a behind-the-scenes view of
the creator's artistry, a look back on her collaborations with such
leading companies as Guerlain and BMW, and, of course, hats to go mad
for!
This book has been released to mark the 30th anniversary of
Maison Fabienne Delvigne, with forewords provided by Stéphane Bern and
Diane von Furstenberg. Readers will discover the passion that drives
this Belgian entrepreneur, a perfectionist to the very tips of her
scissors. A Warrant Holder of several European Courts, Fabienne also
designs hats for all the élégantes who enter her Brussels boudoir
workshop. Leafing through the book, readers will not fail to appreciate
her unique and fascinating journey.
