NINA GARCIA RETURNS ALONG WITH NEW JUDGES BRANDON MAXWELL AND ELAINE WELTEROTH

New York, NY – October 10, 2018 - Bravo Media’s “Project Runway” has tapped supermodel and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss as the host along with former “Project Runway” champion and celebrated CFDA fashion designer Christian Siriano as the mentor for the newly rebooted Emmy Award-winning franchise. Kloss will also serve as executive producer. In addition, ELLE Editor-in-Chief Nina Garcia returns to the series, joined by famed fashion designer Brandon Maxwell and journalist and former Teen Vogue Editor-in-Chief Elaine Welteroth as judges. The announcement was made today by Shari Levine, Executive Vice President, Current Production, Bravo. The series is currently in pre-production and will premiere in 2019.

“As someone who grew up watching ‘Project Runway,’ I could not be more excited to host and produce a series that provides a platform to aspiring American designers as they pursue their creative and entrepreneurial dreams,” said Kloss, “I am equally as thrilled to work alongside an incredibly talented group of fashion innovators — Brandon Maxwell, Elaine Welteroth, Nina Garcia and Christian Siriano — to inspire, support and help guide these designers as they realize their visions and build everlasting brands and businesses.”

“‘Project Runway’” has offered such wonderful opportunities for so many and I’m excited to take on this role as a mentor,” said Siriano. “I hope to guide and inspire the new talent on the rise.”

“These are the perfect faces for the new ‘Project Runway,’ as we recalibrate for a new generation of fashion enthusiasts,” said Levine, “They are entrepreneurs and trailblazers with tremendous reach inside and outside the fashion industry, and give Bravo and our producing partners, Magical Elves and Lantern Entertainment, the right fuel to reenergize the franchise.”

Bravo launched “Project Runway” in 2004 where it continued airing through 2008. Magical Elves created and produced the first five seasons of the competition series for the network, and have returned along with Lantern Entertainment to produce the series once again. Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz serve as executive producers for Magical Elves and Andy Mitchell and Milos Brajovic serve as executive producers for Lantern Entertainment. Karlie Kloss also serves as an executive producer for the series. For more information on the show, please visit: Bravotv.com/project-runway.

He has dressed the likes of Angelina Jolie, Julianne Moore, Amy Adams, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah Winfrey as well as the First Lady Michelle Obama. In April 2018, Siriano was named among Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for being an advocate for body inclusivity and runway diversity in the fashion industry.

She’s written four New York Times bestselling books on style and has received numerous accolades including the Fashion Group International’s prestigious Oracle Award, the Hispanic Federation’s Individual Achievement Award, the Oliver Scholars’ Program Champion of Educational Excellence Award and The Daily’s Magazine of the Year Award.

Brandon Maxwell launched his eponymous luxury women’s ready-to-wear label in New York in 2015. The brand was born out of the desire to make women feel beautiful, sophisticated and powerful by creating timeless garments that are impeccably tailored. With a focus on craftsmanship, the entire collection is designed in New York City. As a child, Maxwell was captivated by the immaculately-dressed women who passed through the Longview, Texas boutique where his grandmother worked and where he spent a lot of time in his youth. He went on to study photography at St. Edward’s University in Austin and began assisting stylist Deborah Afshani in 2009, followed by Edward Enninful and then Nicola Formichetti in 2010. Brandon was awarded the 2018 Woolmark New York Semifinal Prize Award, 2016 Fashion Group International Rising Star Award for Womenswear, the 2016 CFDA Swarovski Award for Womenswear, and was named a finalist for the 2016 LVMH Prize. His brand is worn by iconic women such as Michelle Obama, Meghan Markle, Lady Gaga, Oprah and more.

Elaine Welteroth is an award-winning journalist, thought leader, and the former Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue. Throughout her meteoric ten year magazine career, she broke new ground as the youngest person and only the second African-American ever to hold the Editor-in-Chief title in Condé Nast’s 107-year history. In this role, she brought social consciousness to the pages of Teen Vogue and transformed the teen title into a credible news source. Previously, she held senior roles on the mastheads at Glamour and Ebony Magazine, and in 2012 she became Conde Nast’s first ever African-American Beauty Director. She's now a leading expert, advocate and voice for the next generation of change makers, bringing her fresh perspective to scripted and unscripted projects in TV. From writing on hit shows like “Grown-ish” to appearing on-air from ABC News to Netflix and “The View” to E!, Elaine continues blazing a career path that breaks the mold, inspiring a new generation of creative entrepreneurs.

The Most Wondrous Things at the Milan Furniture Fair

MILAN — The winding staircase of the Palazzo Serbelloni was jammed with visitors photographing the bulbous Venezia lamps that Marcel Wanders designed for Louis Vuitton. The designers at the International Furniture Fair in Milan have long figured out that the 386,000 who attended this month are a tiny slice of the real audience, who live on Instagram.

Under continual pressure to pump out fresh goods, design companies now rely on photogenic displays to mask the distinction between old and new products. Substance is giving way to spectacle. And if that doesn’t bode well for innovation, it does make for a heck of a party.

1. Upcycle Chic

A persistent paradox of the design fair is the creation of so much stuff in a world overburdened with waste. Some designers met this challenge by turning castoffs into high-end products. Paola Navone, an Italian designer, above, teamed up with Corsi Design to create One Off chairs that were plucked from curbsides and secondhand shops and wrapped in playful, resin-coated bandages. (From 1,000 euros; corsidesign.it)

Eileen Fisher, the clothing brand, which turns unsold garments into lush wall hangings and pillows, showed work by the project’s creative director, Sigi Ahl, above, with ghostly clothes plastered to the surface. It was inspired by the 1980s paintings of David Salle. (€8,000; eileenfisher.com)

2. Carbon Copies

Iconic designs were remade in more earth-friendly materials. The Emeco 1006 Navy chair, originally made 75 years ago in aluminum because it didn’t rust or sink, now comes in wood. (Available in May, $700 to $1,000; emeco.net)

Kartell’s Camponobili storage unit, introduced in 1969, has a new life in bioplastic. The plant-based polymer is biodegradable and comes in pastel colors. (Available in May, $290; kartell.com)

3. Misshapes

Not since the 1990s have we seen so many biomorphic shapes. Even Molteni, an Italian company known for its clean contemporary lines, has joined the fun with Surf, a blob-shaped couch designed by Yabu Pushelberg. (Available in July, $9,745 for the version shown; molteni.it)

Free-form designs spilled onto rugs. Joost van Bleiswijk, a Dutch designer, creates Dadaist carpets inspired by ripped-up paper fragments. (nodusrug.it)

Designers also adopted cartoonish shapes that vied for attention. Mattiazzi, an Italian firm, showcased Fronda, a collection of chairs and stools that channel chunky primitivism. (mattiazzi.eu)

Conde House, a Japanese furniture maker, showed an upholstered oak chair called Nupri that looks like an airplane seat in the age of the Jetsons. (condehouse.com)

Plants and floral patterns were spotted throughout the fair. Pietro Sedda, a Milanese tattoo artist, created a set of botanical-themed plates and other designs for the German dinnerware company Rosenthal. (Cilla Marea plate for $100; rosenthal.de)

Mosaic tile flora also bloomed on the walls of Bisazza’s new flagship store in the Brera District. Carlo Dal Bianco designed both the patterns and the space. (bisazza.it)

The glamour of 1970s Art Deco is having a moment. Consider the UpTown floor lamp designed by Ferrucio Laviani for Foscarini. This disco tower of tricolor glass evokes the Empire State Building. ($3,953 to $5,908; foscarini.com)

Likewise, the tubular chrome and leather Coda chair by Atelier Troupe recalls 1970s Hollywood by way of the machine age. (From $8,000; atelierdetroupe.com)

Designers continue to draw inspiration from the ’80s. Six, a design gallery in Milan, paid tribute to Ettore Sottsass, the father of the Memphis movement, with totemic ceramic sculptures. (Available in the fall, €650 to €890, bitossihome.it)

8. Alchemy

Designers are mixing and matching materials that defy traditions. Apparatus, the New York studio, showed armoires, tables and lamps made from hand-dyed eel skin, Carpathian burl, Patagonia marble, shagreen and beaded embroidery on brass mesh. (Interlude collection, pieces starting at $32,000; apparatusstudio.com)

Our desire for coziness knows no limits. Missoni, the Italian knitwear label, yarn-bombed a house worth of vintage items, including TV sets, a double bed and chandeliers, under the direction of Angela Missoni, above. Asked how long it took to crochet everything, Alessandra Roveda, the artist, said she didn’t think in terms of days or years but in “television series.” (Objects for sale at Galleria Paola Colombari)

10. Fashion Week?

Fashion brands have become an unmistakable force at the fair. Hermès took over a former jai alai court in the Brera District with jungly wallpaper and a giant brick maze. Marni built a dystopian playground with slides and colorful furniture. Cos 3-D-printed a lacy outdoor pavilion. Versace turned its mansion on Via Gesù into a tropicalia fantasy. And Louis Vuitton unveiled its latest Objets Nomades collection at Palazzo Serbelloni, above, a Neoclassical palace where Napoleon once spent several months with Josephine. Maybe you’ve seen it on Instagram?

Tattly Talk: Q&A with Vogue’s Laird Borrelli-Persson

When Vogue called us to talk about a partnership, we said yes, and hung up the phone, high-fived everyone we saw. We eventually pulled ourselves together for a meeting at the Conde Nast offices. When we met Laird Borrelli-Persson, Vogue.com’s Archive Editor, we realized immediately that she was going to be our brain trust for developing our first collection together to commemorate the magazine’s 125th anniversary. The digital archive is an incredible resource of imagery and information, going back to day one of the magazine. If you’re into fashion, here’s the link and you’re welcome!

Borrelli-Persson sat down with Tattly’s Yng-Ru Chen recently at the Conde Nast library to discuss her work and to review some of the materials from the physical archive. Treat yourself and read on for more Vogue history and beauty.

The Vintage Vogue Collection is available for a limited time to U.S.-based customers. 

YRC: Thank you for sharing your work with Tattly! As the Archive Editor of Vogue.com, you have a unique role of using technology to expand historical knowledge. Can you explain briefly your role in archiving Vogue for the digital archive?

LBP: Sure thing: It’s a topic I never tire of returning to! It was decided that for the magazine’s 120th anniversary that we’d scan every page of every issue and tag them so that the incredible history of Vogue could be accessed by the touch of a button. The end result was a subscription based business-to-business product. There is also a version for libraries; magazine subscribers are able to view a selection of archival issues in addition to those from the current year.

As the subject matter expert, I helped to create the taxonomy we used to tag the pages and helped enhance the data, by adding information that was not printed, such as model names. Some of this information from the old marked copies in the physical archive. These are annotated in ink by hand, presumably by a glove- and hat-wearing former staffer. To me, this was heaven, as the discoveries they yielded were amazing. The most exciting was the revelation that the famous 1926 drawing of a LBD (little black dress), described by Vogue as “The Chanel ‘Ford’--the frock that all the world will wear” was drawn, according to the scribbled attribution, by none other than Mainbocher, an Chicagoan who went to Europe to study opera, lost his voice on the eve of his debut, became an illustrator for French Vogue, and then its editor, before leaving to become a self-taught designer and designing Wallis Simpson’s wedding dress.

YRC: It seems that your academic background set you up perfectly for what you’re doing now. Tell us how you came to work at Vogue?

LBP: I have an undergraduate degree in English literature from Boston College. While there, I had the good fortune to spend a year at Oxford University where I was able to take some art history classes as well, which I loved. When it came time for graduate school, I tried to pinpoint my passions in part by analyzing what I did on my free time. Realizing that my favorite things to do were going to art and fashion exhibitions, and magazines (the latter I read and then cut up filing some articles and images and pasting others into scrapbooks), I settled on the Museum Studies program at FIT, where I was mentored by the generous Dr. Valerie Steele. I analyzed changing styles of fashion writing for my thesis, which was titled “Dressing Up and Talking about It: Fashion Writing inVogue.” After graduation I went to work at the Museum at F.I.T. and, having been introduced to a publisher through Dr. Steele, started writing books, most of which are on another passion--contemporary fashion illustration. After about five years at the museum, I joined the staff at the old Style.com, not long after its launch.

YRC: Did you ever imagine that your career would take you into the world of digital?

LBP: It wasn’t my first thought. This was quite a while ago, in the age of flip phones! The (compulsive) impulse to organize and catalog images held me in good stead, however.

YRC: What is your favorite part of being Archive Editor?

LBP: That’s an easy one to answer: Being able to look at fashion in context of the history of fashion and of Vogue, hopefully in a way that makes it relevant and interesting to our online readers. In my opinion, our archive is one of our unique selling points.

This year, for the magazine’s 125th anniversary, we created a series of fashion by the decade videos, narrated by the stylish and savvy Sarah Jessica Parker. These trace the evolution of fashion as reported in our pages. On a more granular level, being able to expand our knowledge of the magazine’s past, by discovering nuggets of information in a biography, say, or reaching out to talk to past cover models, gives me a thrill. Being able to add an ID where there was none is a small victory. The goal is not to dwell in the past, but to bring it to life; as I see it, the more we are able to enhance our data, the more ways there are for it to intrigue, inform, and inspire readers and researchers today.

YRC: Let’s talk about the history of illustration at Vogue. Nowadays people associate photography with the imagery of the magazine. But illustration was really the driving visual force for many decades. Can you expand on this a bit?

LBP: In relation to illustration, photography is a relatively recent invention. For ages, information about fashion was communicated through fashion plates. (Small dolls were also used.) It wasn’t until around the 1920s that fashion photography, which Horst P. Horst credits publisher Condé Nast with helping to develop, emerged as its own genre. The first color photograph to appear on the cover of Vogue was published in 1932; illustrated covers continued to appear through 1958.  It’s been ages since photography became the primary way to communicate fashion. But, as the artist Mats Gustafson recently told me, drawing “doesn’t compete with the camera, it just adds something totally different.”

YRC: I was so excited to see the Salvador Dalí “Vogue” script [below, the April 1944 cover]. It’s incredible that people such as Dali were Vogue artists. Who were some other prominent illustrators who contributed to Vogue?

LBP: Some of the fine artists who have made work for the magazine are Giorgio de Chirico, Pierre Roy, Marie Laurencin, and Andy Warhol. (More recent contributors include Alex Katz and Francesco Clemente.)  Before the arrival, in the 1910s of a group of French fashion artists associated with the Gazette du Bon Ton and dubbed “Beau Brummels of the Brush,” George Wolfe Plank and Helen Dryden created many of Vogue’s memorable covers. In the ‘teens and twenties, Georges Lenape and Benito were among the most prolific cover artists, later Eric (Carl Erickson) would be. Though they had distinct styles, their subject was one and the same: the now mythical lady of leisure who seemed to have not a care in the world (save the occasional bill).  Supremely elegant she followed the sun, lived in beautiful homes, and was seen at all the right places.

YRC: The lady on a zebra illustration by André E. Marty is one of the most iconic covers. It’s an amazing world of fantasy! What do you know about this work, or about the artist?

LBP: Marty was one of Gazette du Bon Ton set. A Frenchman with a degree in philosophy, he would apply his art to fashion, the theater, books, and interiors.  His was a gentle take on Art Deco, and while he often stuck to a domestic milieu, this was certainly not the case when he drew the adventuress, known as the “Lady on the Zebra.” This stylish and surprising cover inspired an article in the New York Herald Tribune, which Vogue reprinted in its May 1, 1926, because the editorial note explained, the newspaper piece recognized “Vogue’s desire to promote all that is new in art (so long as it is inherently good and has the intangible quality of chic that characterizes all the material in the magazine.” The element of fantasy in fashion is what makes it endlessly fascinating, and here, Marty finds the perfect balance between convention and surprise.

YRC: Claire Avery was another regular contributor. It was interesting to learn that female illustrators were not a rarity during the early days of Vogue. We love that! What are these original illustrations that you’ve pulled? Did they run in the magazine?

LBP: There were many female fashion illustrators connected to the magazine, and their work appeared in feature stories, as spots, and as pattern drawings. Avery, nicknamed “Tassel” by her friends, was an American who studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and would live for a time in France. She was friendly with Edna Wollman Chase, the longest sitting editor of Vogue, who in her memoirs, recalled that Avery “bought Paris clothes when she could afford them and had her shoes made at Hellstern and loved the theater.” Both of these illustrations [pictured above], made for a long-running series on the history of costume, ran in Vogue in 1925. The fellow who looks quite like a Dresden figure is wearing “slim breeches and elaborated coat and gilet” and illustrates the mode of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. The other, showing Georgian style, is of “a great drum-shaped hat” favored by eighteenth-century ladies of style.

YRC: I loved learning from you about the Vogue Girl, the illustrations of women beautifully surrounded by a “V”. What is the story behind this “Girl”?

LBP: The Vogue Girl was the invention of Harry McVickar and she appeared in the magazine’s very first issue encouraging readers to take advantage of a special subscription offer. I don’t know why he dressed her in romantic 18th-century mode—to me she looks like she’s in shepherdess fancy-dress—but the Vogue Girl became a sort of mascot or logo, used on stationery and in publicity. Gale Porter Hoskins reimagined the lady, in color, as a 1909 cover; though Chase counts the second “official” version, as the one drawn by Frank X. Leyendecker in 1911. His version seems to have been inspired in equal parts by Marie Antoinette and an Age of Enlightenment coquette. Georges Lepape is credited with the Vogue Girl’s third iteration. His flapper of 1920 [pictured above], one of my favorite illustrations, wears a headband and a full-skirted robe de style, and she recently made a guest appearance on limited-edition wrapping paper distributed to Vogue VIP members. 

YRC: The digital archive is such an incredible resource. Do you know if the users are primarily fashion-industry types? For example, are they designers doing research for an upcoming collection? Or do you find that the users are just fashion-obsessed Vogue fans?

LBP: Of course I’m biased, but I think almost anyone could find something of interest in the digital archive, be it an old-time ad or an iconic photograph, whether it’s a couture sitting by Irving Penn or a select from Steven Meisel’s “Grunge and Glory” story.  

Among our subscribers are fashion designers, of course, but also industry executives including marketers and merchandisers, ad agencies, retailers, students of fashion and Vogue enthusiasts. It’s possible to search for so many things: the issue matching the month and year of your birth;  an item (miniskirts) or trend (athleisure);  a specific model, designer, photographer; or reference, like the date of the issue in which Dorothy Parker’s famous quip--“Brevity is the soul of lingerie”--appeared. (Answer: October 1, 1916.)

YRC: How does one get access to the digital archive?

LBP: Subscribers can access the past 12 issues of Vogue and selected archival issues; Archive Members can see, and search, everything. The details are here.

YRC: Two last questions! Which Vintage Vogue Tattly is your favorite?

LBP: Claire Avery’s “Blue Stocking” drawing of the woman reading Vogue [pictured above]. I like to think of as my (less harried and longer-haired) alter-ego. Fun fact: the covers Avery drew are real ones—and one shows the Vogue girl.

YRC: If we were to expand on our collaboration, what would you like to see made as Tattly?

LBP: You mentioned the possibility of creating scented Tattlys, and I’d love to explore that further, as well as a possible series with a spirited character from our past named Shop Hound aka Shoppie….

YRC: Thank you, Laird!

                      “I want to be the better man”

Full name: Louis I de Bourbon Years of age: 25 Title / Rank: Prince of Conde Nationality: French Face claim: Sean Teale { Negotiable } Availability: Open

♔Biography

Louis was born in Vendome, the fifth son of Charles de Bourbon, Duke of Vendome and Françoise d'Alençon, Duchess de Beaumont, younger brother of Antoine de Bourbon, King of Navarre. From an early age, Louis was different from the rest of his family and siblings, and that was apparent the more he grew up; he was kinder, had no hunger to become a King or further raise in power. As a child much was expected of him, and he received high education and quickly became fluent in multiple languages. He was also a skilled swordsman. However, the Bourbon House was not as peaceful as they wanted them to seem; his father was an abusive man, both towards him and his brothers and he could not accept the opinions and beliefs his sons bore, especially Louis’. His father believed in the use of physical violence to achieve discipline and earn respect. However, it did not really work out. Unlike his older brother, Antoine de Bourbon, who was everything their parents wanted him to be, Louis was the polar opposite. From a young age, his father took him under his special care and he tried to change his way of thinking, though the only thing that he got out of this was to discover that Louis had a natural gift at strategies and was a born leader. This gave hope to the Bourbons that he, as the Prince of Conde, would manage to receive recognition even though the Bourbons were looked upon with suspicion at the French court. Against his family’s prospects and wishes for him, the more Louis grew up the more apparent it became that he was not going to change. He was close with the villagers and commoners, he became a known sympathizer to those who had different beliefs and opinions, to Protestants and Pagans. Louis was a genuinely good man, however he exhibited a preference for married women. He would not maintain any stable relationships. Concerned of what would come from this, his older brother requested Louis’ presence at his court. Obligating to his older brothers wishes, Louis felt that he had no apparent reason to decline the invitation for a visit by his brother and tend to his request. He was under his brother’s watchful eye for many months, watching and learning from him, hearing to his opinions and beliefs, how the world operated according to Antoine, though not much changed. His brother tried to introduce him to a new mindset, though failed miserably. After spending a couple of years living next to his brother and his wife, Antoine decided to make some use of his brother’s talents and so he send Louis at the French court, asking of him to become close to the future King of France, Francis II de Valois, and send him reports about how things were progressing.

As soon as Louis arrived, however, he was looked upon and treated with suspicion, especially by the Valois House. He grew closer to Francis’ future wife, Mary Stuart, and barely held a conversation with Francis himself. For a sort period of time, he had an affair with Mary and when things ended, they had a silent agreement to not breathe a word of it to anyone. Soon after that, Louis’ family had found a match for him in a foreign Princess, Charlotta of Sweden, and she was set to visit court for their marriage to be finalized. Their plans failed, ultimately, when he met Clementine de Montmorency, a quiet but charming girl who stole her heart with her doe eyes. Madly in love and having only wished to marry of love and not duty, Louis and Clementine eloped not long after having started an affair. However, problems in their union soon started making an appearance. Clementine was jealous of him and Louis would try his best to ease her worries, to no extent or success, a fruitless effort. The two would often get into arguments and when the plague came, it found them separated. Louis had received word of his sister having given birth and he rode to her estate, leaving Clementine alone in their own. He spent many months there, safe from the plague and with his family members, only to return months later when the threat of the illness had passed. The two were reconnected and things seemed to be going better now. Then the war with England came and his wife begged him not to leave her and go, and he stayed. But he also stayed because as a Protestant himself, he did not wish to fight against those who shared his beliefs. Staying at the French court had its temptations though, and Louis was bound to meet his own. A woman by the name of Isabelle de Beauveau drew his attention and soon the two of them would spend time together. Not having left his womanizing ways behind was meant to show up at some time, eventually. Though now with the Huguenots preparing to demand more rights, Louis is busy organizing them from his estate; for as their highest ranking member and therefore, leader, he doesn’t want them to make ill mistakes and moves that can cost them. Things have been very heated and his differences with the royal family are once more in the limelight, leaving both the Bourbons and the Valois to carefully plan each movement for a showdown, this time between Catholics and Protestants.

♔Virtues & Vices

leader, friendly, persuasive

calculating, sarcastic, womanizer

♔Relationships

Clementine de Bourbon — He loves his wife, he does, but they do have problems that they need to work out and face. Louis doesn’t feel like he understands her anymore, thus he is drifting away from her arms. Mary Stuart — He and Mary had decided to remain friends and he promised that he was going to be keeping their affair a secret. Now he thinks it might come in handy to reveal it for a strategic purpose, of course.  Isabelle de Beauveau — Isabelle caught Louis’ eye as soon as he first saw her and the two spent time together often times. However, now they are distant and not often speak, for it would be very dangerous for Louis given what information he may accidentally let slip. Edward de Bar — He and Louis have been friends since their were younger and they have always shared secrets, that did not change as they grew older. He is the only person he fully trusts, especially now with him leading an important movement for the Protestant community of France. Edward is also the only one who knows just about anything that goes on in his life. Constantine of Nassau — Constantine is Louis’ godson and an important member in the Protestant movement. Though he was also very young when he became his Godfather, the two men have a very close bond and Louis loves seeing him growing up, but he tries to not only be a friend to him but a Godfather as well. Christine Pazzi — Louis and Christine share a past that none knows about. When they were only teenagers, Christine and Louis had an affair and it resulted in Christine falling pregnant with his child. He loved her, he really did, and was going to ask her father’s permission to court her. However, Christine lost the child before anyone besides them knew and from that moment on they grew apart. She became distant and eventually moved with her family and Louis lost her, hasn’t seen her since. Leonardo d’Este — Louis and Leo met during a trip Louis had in Italy. He was impressed by Leonardo’s talent and he purchased many of his art work. Since then, the two men kept in touch, with Louis often requesting commissions from Leonardo, and him always delivering. However, then new circumstances leave Louis trying to gain Leonardo’s trust and even, if he is able, manipulate him into helping his movement.
