Description : Twenty-five admirably determined women! They have dared, created, innovated and worked hard to impose themselves in the world of fashion and luxury. Dresses, cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry… They also stood up to men and nothing resisted them!
They made fun of taboos and conventions and their success story is a thrilling picture of more than a century of fashion business. They take us into the great mass of collections, make us witness the launch of a perfume, their titanic battles to bring out the beauty, whether it is an ornament or a line of makeup.
Jeanne Lanvin, Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Mme Grès, Nina Ricci, Carven, Donatella Versace, Sonia Rykiel, Laura Ashley, Chantal Thomass, Vivienne Westwood, Diane de Fürstenberg, Stella McCartney, Helena Rubinstein, Elizabeth Arden, Estée Lauder, the Carita sisters, Hélène Rochas, Annick Goutal, Gloria Vanderbilt, Lolita Lempicka, Jeanne Toussaint, Paloma Picasso, Victoire de Castellane… each one has sublimated the woman in her own way. But do we know the other side of the coin, made up of personal sacrifices and humiliations?
Through their destiny, Bertrand Meyer-Stabley, long-time journalist for Elle and author of numerous books on fashion, and Laurence Catinot-Crost, historian, take us to the heights of elegance.
