The Marchesa Luisa Casati

"The Marchesa lived partly as a slave to her dream world. She had two venues; her palaces and her aristocratic circles. They served as stages where everyone was usually an actor, but when she made her entrance, they automatically became spectators or background extras." -Alberto Martini

Someone as complex and wild as Luisa Casati seems impossible to sum up in words...so, I will not attempt! The editorial is from the March 2009 issue of Harpers Bazaar and was inspired by Luisa Casati.
