The name Lesage has been associated with the most important figures of haute couture: from the purity of Madeleine Vionnet to the surreal extravagance of Elsa Schiaparelli to the perfection of Cristobal Balenciaga to the prowess of Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. The greatest fashion designers demanded to work with Lesage because he never ceased to invent new techniques and revitalize materials."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
