Legaspi: Larry Legaspi, the 70s, and the Future of Fashion Hardcover – September 3, 2019

I’m glad that fashion designer Rick Owens wrote this book. We would have never known Larry Legaspi’s story without this book! There is not much on the internet and before this book, and the only thing in print about Legaspi was written in 1975’s Cheap Chic.

Literary indulgence, if you are a fashion buff great but if you love fashion history, triumph stories this is the one! I also own the collections by Danielle Levitt that released with this book that one is a great coffee table book with little to no text. This book is a pure dedication with those who knew and worked with Larry first hand. Must have!

I gave this book 3 stars,because of the poor quality of the paper on which it was printed.This man was a pioneer when it came to fashion, in his own untouched lane.His creations deserved to been seen in this format on high gloss paper,not something that looks like you would use to wrap teacups for a move.He created many fabulous costumes for LABELLE back in the 70's,I was so looking forward to seeing them in this book.I think u get maybe 3 of their looks,not including the iconic image of them all in silver.Not to mention a picture of Sarah Dash was mislabeled as other group member Nona Hendryx.This could have been a FABULOUS book because of his FABULOUS work.Instead a disapointment.

Ottimo libro, come tutti quelli firmati Owens.Parecchie foto d’archivio e interviste, su un personaggio assolutamente visionario e incredibile, MOLTO più avanti della sua epoca! Un pezzo di moda rimasto sconosciuto ai più...Unica pecca: la carta delle pagine un po’ sottile e banale. Da Rizzoli e dalle altre pubblicazioni di Rick, mi aspettavo più cura per questo aspetto.
