![]() ![]() Author: Picardie Justine Publisher: Donzelli Chi era la donna enigmatica a cui Christian Dior si ispirò disegnando quel New Look che avrebbe rivoluzionato lo stile e la società del dopoguerra? Chi era la Miss Dior a cui è dedicato il profumo più iconico della storia? È lei, Catherine, l'amatissima sorella del re della moda e protagonista di questa splendida biografia riccamente illustrata che racconta il suo anelito di libertà all'ombra di un regime repressivo, la ricerca di bellezza nell'abisso della prigionia e l'ascesa della celebre maison, con la sua esplosione vitalità pur nelle dolorose contraddizioni del dopoguerra. Justine Picardie, scrittrice e giornalista di moda, ci accompagna sulle tracce di Catherine, tra le strade della Parigi occupata dai nazisti, dove Christian affina le sue doti di stilista mentre la sorella entra nella Resistenza dopo essersi innamorata di un capo partigiano. Catturata dalla Gestapo, Catherine viene torturata e deportata nel campo di concentramento di Ravensbrück. Per ricostruire la sua vicenda, che attraversa i momenti più intensi e drammatici della storia del Novecento, Picardie si serve di documenti inediti conservati negli archivi della famiglia Dior e delle testimonianze di altre partigiane sopravvissute a Ravensbrück, per ricomporre, in un racconto corale, i tasselli della tragica esperienza di questa giovane donna. Catherine sopravviverà, benché ferita nel corpo e nell'anima, e troverà rifugio in una vita tranquilla, dedicandosi al commercio di fiori al fianco dell'uomo che ama e che era stato, come lei, un eroe della Resistenza. Per tutta la vita resterà legata al fratello da € 30,00

![]() ![]() Author: Picardie Justine Publisher: It Books Sleek. Chic. Notoriously guarded. Welcome to the secret world of Gabrielle Chanel. The story of Chanel begins with an abandoned child, as lost as a girl in a dark fairy tale. Unveiling remarkable new details about Gabrielle Chanel?s early years in a convent orphanage and her flight into unconventional adulthood, Justine Picardie explores what lies beneath the glossy surface of a mythic fashion icon. Throwing new light on her passionate and turbulent relationships, this beautifully constructed portrait gives a fresh and penetrating look at how Coco Chanel made herself into her own most powerful creation. An authoritative account, based on personal observations and interviews with Chanel?s last surviving friends, employees and relatives, it also unravels her coded language and symbols, and traces the influence of her formative years on her legendary style. Feared and revered by the rest of the fashion industry, Coco Chanel died in 1971 at the age of eighty-seven, but her legacy lives on. Drawing on unprecedented research, Justine Picardie brings her fascinating, enigmatic subject out of hiding and uncovers the consequences of what Chanel covered up, unpicking the seams between truth and myth in a story that reveals the true heart of fashion. € 21,40

![]() ![]() Author: Du Maurier Daphne Dame, Picardie Justine (INT) Publisher: Virago Pr As a bold and gifted child, Branwell Brontë's promise seemed boundless to the three adoring sisters over whom his rule was complete. But as an adult, the precocious flame of genius flickered and burned low. With neither the strength nor the resources to counter rejection, unable to sell his paintings or publish his books, Branwell became a specter in the Brontë story, in pathetic contrast with the remarkable achievements of Charlotte, Anne, and Emily. Daphne du Maurier concentrates all her biographer's skill on the shadowy figure of Branwell Brontë, and no reader could fail to be intensely moved by Branwell's final retreat into laudanum, alcohol, and death. Dame Daphne du Maurier wrote more than 25 acclaimed novels, short stories, and plays, including Rebecca and The House on the Strand. She was also a passionate and skillful biographer. € 14,60
