MUSATI, Francesco and Valentina AIMONE. Rocking Fornarina.

(Bologna, Italy): Damiani, 2012.  First edition.  Folio.  Unpaginated.  Introductory essay by Terry Jones.  A celebration of the previous ten years of Fornarina’s “street couture” shoewear and apparel through the photographs of Francesco Musati and Valentina Aimone, who together have developed the brand’s identity into a sexy, sassy and artful visual style. Founded in 1947 by Gianfranco Fornari, and now led by his son Lino, Fornarina has galvanized the women’s shoe and apparel industry with its fresh take on urban style, emphasizing strong colour, bold contours, humour and mischievous, tongue-in-cheek glamour, in styles ranging from sandals and sabots to boots and pumps.  A very good copy in photo-illustrated boards without dust jacket as issued.  Published in an edition of 1000 numbered copies.
