| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Italian fashion is amongst the world's most important fashion designs, such as those of France, USA, Great Britain and Japan. Fashion has always been an important part of the culture of Italy, and its society, and Italians are well known for their attention to dressing-up well, and "la bella figura," or good impression, remains traditional in the Italian way of living. Cities such as Venice, Milan, Florence and Vicenza are world famous for producing luxury goods, hats, cosmetics, jewelry, and rich fabrics. This book studies Italian fashion including the fashion capital, Via Manzoni, Via Monte Napoleone, Gucci, Prada, and Roberto Cavalli.
