The city of Verona is second only to Rome in the antiquities that can be seen. This book aims to give the tourist an opportunity to visit and enjoy not only the few major attractions that a guided tour usually includes, but also many of the other interesting sights that many people do not see. In addition to the famous amphitheatre, cathedral and sights linked to Romeo and Juliet, you will also visit the monumental gateways, beautiful bridges, castles, fortresses, palaces, gardens, graves, remains of Roman villas and other places that show the magnificence of Verona's past. By providing five different walking routes and detailed information about each attraction passed it puts a visitor to Verona in charge of the time spent at any particular place rather than having to rush and keep up with a guide. With detailed instructions of how to get from one place to another, this book is the perfect way to experience the many wonderful things that Verona has to offer without having to join costly and rushed guided tours.

Graduating from Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s, Martin Margiela (and his contemporaries in the Antwerp Six) transformed global fashion with his aggressive restatement of traditional fashion design and a polemical approach to luxury trends. Working first with the house of Gaultier, Margiela absorbed the radical design of Japanese deconstruction, making it wholly his own with the founding of his own label in 1988. Margiela propounds a singular, enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction—a monochromatic palette, outsized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed seams, or roughly appliquéd details—to develop a fully considered worldview, one with elegance, mystery, and menace in equal measure. This book provides an inside look at the design process from a craftsman who creates pieces prized for their originality, delicacy, and daring. In the spirit of Margiela's garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. This book provides a window onto the intimate, handmade world of a unique designer.
