A breathtakingly beautiful photo-narrative biography of the
incredible life of Princess Ira von Furstenberg - half
Austro-Hungarian Princess, half Agnelli: model, actress, princess,
socialite, heiress, mother, and jewellery designer. Bursting onto
front-page news in 1955 at the age of 15 in a jewel-laden
gondola-wedding in the last great assembly of European nobility,
Princess Ira von Furstenberg swung into the spotlight and has never
left. Subject for master photographers Cecil Beaton and Helmut
Newton, among others, actress alongside Klaus Kinski and Peter
Lawford, and model for Vogue's Diana Vreeland, Princess Ira has
been an actress, model, muse, mother, socialite, jewellery
designer, and creator of objets d'art. On and off screen, in and
out of the flashbulb, Ira's life - or, more accurately, lives -
reads like a history of the jet set. More than just a chronicle of
a gorgeously fascinating life, this lavish photographic biography
is a truly sumptuous snapshot of the glamour and charm of a lost
era, a prism through which to see the world of European royalty,
Italian cinema in its heyday, couture at most haute, and parties at
their wildest.
