Fiorucci, Fashion Rebel

A new book celebrates the iconic Italian fashion designer

BY: Claire Connors

The cherubs are back and it’s time for a Fiorucci relaunch. To celebrate the return of the iconic 70s and 80s disco dreamy company, a new book that celebrates Elio Fiorucci, the sexy, dynamic Italian designer, has been released by Rizzoli. 50 years after the fashion house’s launch in 1967, this book honors the bright, colorful, and oh-so sexy styles embraced by celebrities for two decades, including Brooke Shields, Cher, Andy Warhol, and other famous Studio 54 attendees.

The gorgeous book, with a foreword by Sofia Coppola, is 192 pages of pure fashion fun, with archival photographs, posters, and graphics that sum up Fiorucci’s fingerprint on fashion and the disco lifestyle. Below are a few of the images included in the book.
