"Fashion is balance, with a dash of theatre," was Nino Cerruti's
favourite bon mot. This monograph, the most substantial on him to
date, is an entertaining and gorgeously illustrated homage to the
great Italian fashion designer, whose deconstructed jackets and
supple fabrics revolutionised menswear in the 1960s. He took over
the family business, which his father established in 1881, at the
age of 20 and immediately began to make his mark. In 1965 he opened
a boutique in Paris where he launched women's fashion, being the
first designer to focus on pants (this at a time when many
restaurants in Paris denied women entry if they were wearing
pants). He dressed generations of movie stars, both on and off
screen, including Jean-Paul Belmondo, Yves Montand, Catherine
Deneuve, Richard Gere (wearing a Cerruti suit in Pretty Woman),
Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, and Kathleen Turner,
among others. This book showcases the elegant nonchalance and
uncompromising creativity that went into his designs and follows
his career as one of the great pioneers of 20th century fashion.
