Book It: The Marchesa Casati: Portraits of a Muse



One of my favorite fashion inspirations is Marchesa Luisa Casati. A woman years ahead of her time, wearing snakes as accessories and walking wild cats long before Britney Spears. She was photographed by great photographers like Man Ray and Cecil Beaton and dressed by Poiret. I have been waiting to read her biography Infinite Variety: The Life and Legend of the Marchesa Casati as soon as it comes in the mail. But, I am even more excited for the her visual biography The Marchesa Casati: Portraits of a Muse slated to come out in October. I have a feeling my eye makeup will
become darker and my hair crazier..cant wait!
