Crespi was known not only as an artist and designer but a veritable cosmopolitan who moved smoothly in the social circles of her time with European royalty and Hollywood icons like Audrey Hepburn. Travelling was always close to Crespi’s heart, and many of her works show influences from other cultures – Crespi was particularly interested in Asian philosophies. In her career, Crespi also collaborated with Dior and Stella McCartney, among others, and was considered a muse of Valentino Garavani, the founder of the Italian fashion house Valentino.
