Gabriella Crespi - Part 1

Very few individuals make a lasting impression during their lifetime. Gabriella Crespi is one of those people. She's an italian designer who quit her career at the height of her fame (during the 1980s) to pursue spiritual interests.

One of her most famous designs is the Z desk which Aerin Lauder has in her dressing room.

This is Gabriella as pictured in the 1970s in Vogue Italia.

Some of her designs were custom made for the glitterati including Princess Grace of Monaco and the Shah of Iran. As you would expect her pieces are highly sought after now. To me bronze and gold seem very now.
