本书对**的享乐主义者Federico Forquet的作品进行了一次面面俱到的研究。他的设计生涯长达数十年，既有女士时装，也有优雅的室内设计，还有富于想象力的花园，这些设计既体现了意大利风格的精华，又体现了罗马那个奢华享乐的时代。

本书首次将这位富有远见的创意人士的多个世界集合起来，用大量的插图表现了他的风格：从《Vogue》杂志，《时尚芭莎》和其它时尚出版物在20世纪60年代和70年代介绍的他设计的并且被Marella Agnelli，Sophia Loren和Diana Vreeland等潮流引领者穿过的奢华高级女装的图片，到长满绿色植物的托斯卡纳花园和富贵的、古老的罗马别墅和Forquet装饰的宫殿等风景如画的场景。

A sweeping survey of the work of celebrated bon vivant Federico Forquet--whose decades-

long design career has embraced couture fashion, elegant interiors, and imaginative gardens, reflecting both the best of Italian style and the dolce vita era of Rome.

Through his long and crowded life, polyglot designer Federico Forquet has been by turns a couturier who learned his craft at Balenciaga's side and whose creations for his eponymous house clothed the best-

dressed women of the day; a decorator of interiors of singular style and charm; a discriminating collector of rare and beautiful objects, furnishings, and pictures; and a creator of magical gardens.

For the first time, the many worlds of this creative visionary are brought together in a richly illustrated celebration of style: from imagery of his lavish haute-couture gowns featured in 1960s and '70s Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and other fashionable publications and worn by trendsetters such as Marella Agnelli, Sophia Loren, and Diana Vreeland to picturesque scenes of verdant Tuscan gardens and opulent, old-world Roman villas and palazzos decorated by Forquet.
