Icon-Icon Opinion :

A book that sheds light on one of the most beautiful couples in French literature – and Venice, where the rupture took place that gave this same literature some of its most moving verses.

Publishing House : Actes sud

Collection : Babel

Release Date : August 1999

From January to March 1834, George Sand and Alfred de Musset are in Venice in full idyll. But the Venice novel will end in drama since Musset returns alone to Paris while Sand stays in Italy with her new lover Doctor Pagello. There will be a reconciliation and then new estrangements in this mythical liaison that this book brings to life through a subtle montage of the letters of the two lovers, those they send to each other but also those they write to their friends.

    Author: Andre Leon Talley

    Publisher: Fourth Estate Ltd

    Publication Date:  2020

    Description : During André Leon Talley’s first magazine job assisting Andy Warhol at Interview , a fateful meeting with Karl Lagerfeld began a decades-long friendship and propelled Talley into the upper echelons by virtue of his shared knowledge and adoration of fashion. He moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild’s Women’s Wear Daily , befriending fashion’s most important designers. But as Talley made friends, he also made enemies. A fraught encounter with a member of the house of Yves Saint Laurent sent him back to New York and into the offices of Vogue under Grace Mirabella. There, he developed an unlikely but intimate friendship with Anna Wintour, and as she rose to the top of Vogue‘s masthead, Talley became the most influential man in fashion.The Chiffon Trenches is a candid look at the who’s who of the last fifty years of fashion, and proof that fact is always fascinatingly more devilish than fiction. André Leon Talley’s engaging memoir tells the story of how he not only survived but thrived – despite racism, illicit rumors and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry – to become one of the most legendary voices and faces in fashion.
