De Liguoro is a protagonist in the latest publication by Alba Cappellieri, Full Professor of Jewellery and Fashion Accessory Design at the Politecnico di Milano, who chronicles in this precious volume the excellence of Italian fashion jewellery and the leading role this world plays both in strengthening the identity of designers' creations and in representing and synthesizing the values of Italian culture.
For the cover of this extraordinary volume, Alba Cappellieri chose the color of passion to represent the emotions of “Italian Glamour in Fashion Jewellery” and a beautiful image of the stunning Sophia Loren, the one and only person capable of interpreting its ambitious title, “Diva!”
A precious volume that recounts, with extensive use of beautiful images, the excellence of Italian fashion jewellery and the leading role this sector plays both in strengthening the identity of creations by Fashion Biz designers and in representing and synthesizing the values of creativity, from historical roots to cultural avant-gardes.
The volume traces the history of Italian culture through two hundred pieces of jewellery which, from the Dolce Vita of the 50s to the Prêt-à-Porter of the 80s, from the Minimalism of the 90s to the Fashion Tech of the new millennium, document the transformation of styles and customs, and the evolution of forms, materials, and new production techniques.
A book that is also the tale of a typically Italian story, for the ability demonstrated in this sector as well to combine creativity and manufacturing, craftsmanship and industry, art and technology, beauty and innovation.
