Seven-time FiFi Award winner and internationally renowned designer Marc Rosen celebrates the launch of his latest book, Glamorous Icons: Perfume Bottle Design, at the DDB. The book features a survey of the biggest names and most famous bottles throughout the history of perfume bottle design.
Glamour Icons is a collection of Marc's remarkable bottle designs, as well as a selection of perfume bottles from the last century that he considers iconic. The book abounds with industry back stories never before published such as working at his first job with Revlon founder Charles Revson, his career at Elizabeth Arden, his collaboration with the fashion houses of Chloé, Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi, Perry Ellis, Ellen Tracy, and Jill Stuart, as well as with celebrities such as Joan Rivers, Christina Aguilera and Celine Dion.
Marc is the first perfume bottle designer to write a book about his craft, and to describe the design process from original sketches to models, to working with glass manufacturers on engineering drawings, to actual production. Glamour Icons documents perfume bottles, their history, their place in society and their inspiration. Illustrated with amazing photographs by Vincent Ricardel, the book also contains Rosen's personal photographs and artwork given to him by many of the people he has worked with.
The event will take place Tuesday, December 6 at 9:30 a.m. at the DDB's Astra Cafe on floor 14. A reception and book signing will immediately follow. For more information, visit the DDB online.
