Fiorucci the Book / Eve Babitz

Untitled Document


New York: Harlin Quist, 1980. First Edition. 4to, Unpaginated. Spiralbound. Mad fluro colour ilustrations and photographs. First and only edition. Notoriously fragile. A little rubbing to cover and edges, in a much better condition than usually seen. More images available on request. VG+. Softcover.
Mental book about the 'Daytime Studio 54'. Filled full of the famous Fiorucci graphics and anecdotes from its heyday. Popular with everybody from Warhol, Farah Fawcett, Marc Jacobs, Madonna, Lauren Bacall, Haring, Maripol, Jackie O, Gloria Vanderbilt, Calvin Klein etc. to the Paninaro kids in Milan. "A celebration of Fiorucci fashion and flash. More than a store, more than a line of clothes, Fiorucci is a whole point of view. Fiorucci invented junky chic and the whole world is buying it". A true pop phenomenon. Amazing.
