A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Valentino Garavani, often known simply as Valentino, is a legendary fashion designer and master couturier. He founded his eponymous fashion house in Rome in the late 1950s and has since established an illustrious career designing for the world's most glamorous women, from royalty to Hollywood icons. André Leon Talley is a Vogue contributing editor and the magazine's former American editor-at-large. He has written several monographs, including a limited edition book on Valentino for Franco Maria Ricci, Valentino (1982), a memoir, A. L. T.: Andre Leon Talley (2003), and Little Black Dress (2013). Oberto Gili began taking photographs at an early age, but the idea to be a photographer was planted in his head when he saw the film Blow-Up, by Michaelangelo Antonioni. In the early 70s, he moved to London to work as an assistant to Michael Joseph, after which he moved to Milan to work for L'Esperto. He has been travelling the world taking pictures ever since. Gili has worked for Condé Nast, New York Magazine, and The Washington Post Magazine.

At the Emperor's Table is an invitation into his refined world of graceful and cultured living. The remarkable collection of table settings and objets d'art housed in his five residences, in Gstaad, London, Rome, New York, and Paris, as well as on his yacht, evoke the grandeur in which he lives and are presented in this first-ever edition with photographs by Oberto Gili. Recipes by Mr. Garavani's personal chefs are also included and bring readers one step closer to discovering his extraordinary surroundings.
