Medieval market scenes, Batman, Minnie Mouse, Dior's studio, David Bowie, and Buster Keaton - this book functions like a film, blending historical figures with pop art, the production of the finest porcelain figures with sensuous haute couture. But what is truly exceptional about this publication is more than the extraordinary objects it presents: the sixteen porcelain figures of the Commedia dell'arte created by Franz Anton Bustelli in 1760, which were newly released in a limited edition by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory in 2009, redressed by sixteen internationally renowned fashion designers, including Vivienne Westwood, Christian Lacroix, Naoki Takizawa, Gareth Pugh, Victor & Rolf, and others.
