March 24, 1976: Steve Lacy plays his first concert in Montreal, at St.-Jean l'Évangéliste Church. This solo appearance was recorded but only 25 minutes of the performance can be found on side one of the 1979 Quark LP The Woe (side two being "The Woe").

Jeanne MacKin - L'ultima rivale di Coco Chanel
Italiano | 2019 | 400 pages | ISBN: 8817142263 | EPUB | 1 MB

Fu il blu a rendere unico l'audace colore creato da Elsa Schiaparelli, il rosa shocking: un rosa permeato di blu, che muta un pudico rossore del viso in una scossa elettrica. Con quel tocco di blu, Schiaparelli trasformò il rosa da fanciulle nel colore della seduzione. Le dame della moda francese: Coco Chanel ed Elsa Schiaparelli. La Parigi degli anni Trenta è il loro campo di battaglia. Coco, fino ad allora regina incontrastata dell'haute couture, innovatrice del vestire femminile con la sua idea di libertà e praticità, è obbligata al confronto con l'irriverente ed eccentrica Schiap. Una diversa rivoluzionaria, che con un gusto surrealista irrompe sulla scena: veste la principessa di Windsor, propone l'indimenticata collezione "Circo" e inventa il rosa shocking. Due couturier entrate nel mito, due visioni differenti della moda, frutto di biografie distanti che si intersecano con gli eventi tragici della Seconda guerra mondiale nella Parigi occupata. "L'ultima rivale di Coco Chanel" è il ritratto di due donne straordinarie, le cui vicende private si svelano a comporre un affresco storico e corale di raro fascino.

Alto artigianato, tradizione di eccellenza, senso del bello: questo in sintesi ci che si intende per Made in Italy. Realt o mito, questa immagine ha una storia, ed quella raccontata nel libro, che prende le mosse dalla straordinaria fioritura artistica del '4-500, per raccontare come nel '6-700 i viaggiatori stranieri che visitano l'Italia riconoscano in essa la patria dell'arte. Nell'Ottocento gli storici danno forma a un'idea di Rinascimento che si diffonder soprattutto in America, alimentando un forte collezionismo di oggetti e opere d'arte italiane. Nel secondo dopoguerra la nascente industria della moda italiana, alla ricerca di un suo spazio nel mercato dominato dalla haute couture francese, si ricollegher con successo al mito dell'eccellenza rinascimentale, sinonimo di prestigio e di sapienza artistico-artigianale.
