This lavish volume celebrates thirty years of WP Lavori in Corso, a prestigious Italian company dedicated to researching, redefining, and cultivating the best heritage brands from all over the world. Since its founding in Bologna in 1982, WP Lavori in Corso’s success has always rested on the scouting and selection, across the globe, of apparel brands and products marked by a long history, strong tradition, outstanding quality, and innovation. The company initially licensed and distributed brands such as Barbour, Woolrich, and Blundstone in Italy and now has grown to become these brands’ invaluable collaborator, working with internationally renowned designers and creative directors to start new global trends and produce contemporary designs and styles, while also remaining true to the brands’ history and heritage. This beautifully illustrated and designed book, curated and edited by Inventory, features photographs of the fashion brands WP distributes, its advertising campaigns, catalogs, and impeccably styled stores.
"WP lavori in corso" si contraddistingue sin dal proprio nome come un marchio in continua crescita e trasformazione. Dagli esordi bolognesi nel 1982 non ha mai smesso di lavorare per selezionare brand esteri appetibili per il mercato europeo continuando a elaborare idee e stili con l'apporto di designer e creativi di fama internazionale. Questo volume fotografico realizzato dallo studio canadese "Inventory Media" ha il merito di raccontare per immagini i successi e la storia del marchio offrendo un ritratto unico e originale di tutte le persone che hanno contribuito a fare della sua storia, una storia di successi.
