Icon Icon Opinion :
Who was Hubert de Givenchy? How did this couturier complete THE little black dress? This book offers the story of this iconic but very secret couturier – a story that is revealed as rarely through his muses, and those who knew him… Through, also, Hubert de Givenchy’s quotes and witticisms!
Authors: Collective Book, under the direction of Eloy Martinez de la Pera Celada and Shazia Boucher
Publishing House: Lienart
Publication Date: June 2017
Description : Throughout his life, Hubert de Givenchy dressed a loyal and cosmopolitan clientele, including celebrities like Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn, his muse and friend. From the “separates” of 1952 to the steamy tulle and lace wedding dresses of his later years
the pieces presented in this magnificent book give the measure of a sharp sense of elegance and a great culture. Among other sources of inspiration, we recognize the evocation of artists dear to the designer such as Miró, de Staël, Delaunay or Rothko, but also the splendor of the eighteenth century through deep colors, precious materials and sumptuous drapes.
The book traces Givenchy’s career through the history of the key encounters that marked his life and shaped his work. A tribute to one of the greatest couturiers of the 20th century.

Author: Saskia Rothschild (de)
Publishing House: Flammarion
Publication Date: December 2020
Description : Winemakers Éric and Saskia de Rothschild lead readers through 150 vintages of Château Lafite, revealing key moments since the family arrived in 1868, along with scientific and climatic data and visual memories from the château’s archives. Over the past 150 years, six generations of the Rothschild family have attended to the winemaking tradition, developing Château Lafite’s reputation and transforming this classified Premier Grand Cru into a benchmark for fine wine in Bordeaux. Discover how this occurred and what actually lies behind Lafite’s label through stories from the tightly-knit team of men and women who tend to Lafite wines-from vineyard workers to barrel makers, and harvesters to winemakers. A chronology introducing each of the 150 vintages includes informative tasting notes, meteorological aspects, and the grape blends that mark each vintage. An archival gem has been unearthed for each year: from the harvesters’ menu in 1922 to portraits by master photographers like Robert Doisneau, Richard Avedon, and Paolo Roversi. Space to record personal tasting notes allows readers to make this book their own, building their wine knowledge over time.
