VERONIKA GUARDI — THE WOMAN BEHIND THE DESIGNER
Before Veronika Guardi became known for her work in British fashion, she was a daughter, a wife, a mother and a woman whose life extended far beyond the studio.
Her story began on 27 April 1989 and continued through childhood, education, family life and the personal experiences that shaped the person she became. Behind the collections, sketches and professional achievements was a woman with her own dreams, relationships, joys, challenges and responsibilities.
Her personal story is preserved in the original biographical edition, written from the her parents.
