Raffaella Carrà

Raphael the actress. Raffaella the dancer. Raffaella the singer. Raffaella the presenter. Raffaella the style icon.

Like a rainbow, Carrà has interpreted all colors, styles, and trends, transforming her image into a symbol of freedom, emancipation, and talent.

What is the “Carrà style?” This volume tells how it came into being and how it has changed in close connection with the artistic, aesthetic and costume revolutions that have marked contemporary society from the 1960s to the present.

Raffaella Carrà is pop icon: dancer, singer, woman of great talent, generosity, progressive and, above all, free. This volume recounts the myth through an extensive iconographic apparatus, consisting of archive photos and previously unpublished material, portraying her in dresses and stage costumes that marked a real revolution in the world of show business and that still continue to be a source of inspiration for the fashion world and celebrities. A large-format volume, with fine finishes, to celebrate the figure of Raffaella Carrà, an absolute protagonist of Italian television and costume history.
