Naty Abascal
"Naty Abascal: The Eternal Muse offers the reader a rare look at not only the contents of Naty's closets but also of an unerring taste level that does not radiate from one specific point of view. She is always flawlessly turned out whether in the slickest and simplest of tailleurs or the most outrageous feathered and beaded couture pieces. Much of what is seen here might jar the reader's memory in terms of which designer created what and when they came about. Naty was/is a hoarder of sorts but in the most discerning of ways...The collective images are superbly and dramatically styled all by the hand of Naty herself! If her name and fame are unknown to you then this is certainly a great primer demonstrating the making of a fashion icon. Good taste is not learned or taught; it is innate and honed by its possessor. Even an astute and well-read fashionphile will find Naty Abascal: The Eternal Muse enlightening." —NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS
The publication presents a handpicked selection of designs by Cristobal Balenciaga, Oscar de la Renta, Eliee Saab, Yves Saint Laurent and Valentino, among others. Abascal has been part of the history of these haute couture masters, not only as a model, but also as a muse, inspiration, and companion of their most significant successes, in daily life and in the pages of fashion magazines.
