In a contemporary, cross-generational twist on two of our favorite childhood stories, Camilla Morton invites colleagues from the fashion world to tell their life stories in fairytale format.
Camilla Morton is a London-based fashion writer and the author of the international bestseller How to Walk in High Heels, which has been translated into twenty languages worldwide. She was the runway reporter for Vogue.com, covering all international and couture collections. Morton has written for several magazines, newspapers, and blogs, including Time magazine's Style and Design supplement, W magazine, and Harper's Bazaar, both in the U.S. and the U.K., and collaborated with several high-end fashion houses. This is her fourth book.Manolo BlahnIk, whose career spans more than thirty years, is one of the world's most celebrated and imaginative footwear designers. His shoes have enchanted an international set of adoring and loyal devotees around the globe. Born in the Canary Islands and later educated in Geneva, he moved in 1965 to Paris, where he intended a career in theatre design. On a visit to New York in 1970, he met with the legendary editor in chief of American Vogue, Diana Vreeland, who told him, "Do shoes." He has been doing so expertly ever since-on the runway, the red carpet, and in every girl's wildest dreams.
Second in a series (following Christian Lacroix and the Tale of Sleeping Beauty) originated by fashion writer Morton (How To Walk in High Heels) that invites famous designers to tell their stories through fractured fairy tales. The books will all be paper over board, with a four-color case and a wraparound vellum dust jacket-maybe not perfect for library shelves but certainly a series to consider.
