Description

Model, muse, stylist, and fashion icon: this book explores the relationship between mirror, dress, designer, photography, and especially Naty Abascal as an inspiration.

The publication presents a handpicked selection of designs by Cristobal Balenciaga, Oscar de la Renta, Eliee Saab, Yves Saint Laurent and Valentino, among others. Abascal has been part of the history of these haute couture masters, not only as a model, but also as a muse, inspiration, and companion of their most significant successes, in daily life and in the pages of fashion magazines.

This book marks the occasion of the exhibition Naty Abascal and Fashion! organised by Museo Jumex, Mexico City, from November 7, 2019 to January 5, 2020. Like the exhibition, it aims to evoke the big ateliers or couture studios, whose mirrors have witnessed the evolution of fashion, along with designers and models. Their reflections highlight the unique details of the cut and the proportion of the outfits that contribute to the transformation of the female silhouette, which testifies to contemporary times like any other art form.
