Arty-Fact: A promotional maverick who retains creative control over every image he produces, Razzia has conceptualized fresh images for fashion, music, sports, charitable causes and a myriad of events. Ripples of past masters manifest themselves in stylistic touches throughout his works – echoes of Cassandre, Cappiello, Erte and Broders.
Fiat’s 1954 Turbina concept car is a befitting image for Razzia’s “Louis Vuitton – Parc de Bagatelle Concours d’Elegance 1996” poster design.
Displayed at the 36th Turin Motor Show, people were amazed by the car’s streamlined shape. The red and white paintjob made it stand out even more. Jet inspiration could be seen everywhere on the car, including the chrome-ringed turbine exhaust, along with the huge fins.
