Carlo Mollino: Polaroids

Updated Oct 2, 2006

Description

Oh, Carlo. You were an architect, a fabulous furniture designer, race car enthusiast & who knew - a master of the polaroid camera. You chose to keep your pics of beautiful naked prostitutes all to yourself which made us covet them even more when they were discovered. You know what you do to us! This book is pricey but its safe to say no one else you know will have it & everyone will want it! So vintage & so cool.
