Steven Klein, Alexandra Agoston-O'Connor for Vogue Italia Editorial "Portraits of Women" (2007) - Inspired by the 1908 portrait: Marchesa Luisa Casati with a Greyhound by Giovanni Boldini.

John Galliano, Christian Dior Haute Couture, Fall 2007.

The eccentric style of Marchesa served as a key inspiration and reference point for Galliano's Fall 2007 collection alongside Boldini's portrait.

Continuing relevance in the industry

Even after her death in 1957, Casati's eccentric style continues to inspire many designers, photographers, editors and artists, including the late Karl Lagerfeld who created a series of both sketches and photographs of former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris Carine Roitfeld styled as the Italian heiress.

Image descriptions in order:
