Críticas:

"A studied account of the innovative and impulsive fashion legend that's likely to inspire budding designers of any age."--Kirkus Reviews "On broad pages appropriately accented with shocking pink and peppered with well-reproduced photos, Rubin details Schiap's tenacious independence ("The fact that I was obliged to learn things I did not care about and curb my imagination revolted me"), her playfulness in her design studio, her collaborations with avant-garde artists, and her commitment to the war effort during WWII... kids who "dare to be different" will be enchanted by Schiap's indomitable spirit and fearless creativity." --Booklist

Reseña del editor:

Shocking pink-hot pink, as it is called today-was the signature colour of Elsa Schiaparelli and perhaps her greatest contribution to the fashion world. Schiaparelli was one of the most innovative designers in the early 20th century, credited with many firsts: trompe l'oeil sweaters with collars and bows knitted in; wedge heels; shoulder bags; and even the concept of a runway show for presenting collections. Hot Pink-printed with a fifth colour, hot pink!-explores Schiaparelli's childhood in Rome, her introduction to high fashion in Paris, and her swift rise to success collaborating with surrealist and cubist artists like Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau. The book includes an author's note, museum list of where to find Schiaparelli's fashions, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.
