In my next life I want to dress only in clothes like this ... absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous fabrics and design.

Is the dress (is that the Delphos) that appears as a top and skirt , as 2 pieces, pleated on the bias, as see a longer corner in front and sides or ? Such amazing clothing wish could see in person. Would be nice to see a pic of book with the patents. Appreciate showing us all these !

Thanks for sharing the video. Excellent presentation! I'm thrilled to learn that the exhibition "Fortuny, a Spaniard in Venice" is happening at Palais Galliera from October 4th, 2017 - Junuary 7th, 2018. I find these words from an Oct 2017 Vogue article "The Work of Mariano Fortuny Is Celebrated-And Reimagined-At the Palais Galliera" rather moving. Let me quote, "Though months in the planning, the “Fortuny, a Spaniard in Venice,” speaks to current issues beyond fashion. Countering a tide of xenophobia, it reminds us dream(er)s can’t be contained. Riad jokes that “Fortuny is this quintessentially Italian company that’s never been owned by an Italian.” (It passed from the Spanish-born founder to the American Elsie McNeill Lee, later Countess Elsie Lee Gozzi, and then to the Egyptian-born Maged Riad.) Scholar Silvia Bañaraes has described the expatriate Nigrin as “French by nationality, Spanish by marriage, and perhaps Venetian at heart.” The Fortuny show is a reminder that art carries no passport and pushes boundaries-by design."

Didnt the his wife own the company or just make clothing?

wow. so amazing.

great video

Fortuny's grandfather was not French. On his mother's side his grandfather was the painter Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta and Spanish. His father was Marià Josep Maria Bernat Fortuny i Marsal, a painter who died when Fortuny y Madrazo (subject of clip) was three and was Catalan. His paternal grandfather died when Fortuny's father was an infant.

Этот звук съезжающей по гладкой поверхности манекена тяжёлой шёлковой ткани - прямо незабываемый.
