Overview

"""Deliciously dramatic...The Beautiful Fall crackles with excitement.""-New York Times Book ReviewIn the 1970s, Paris fashion exploded like a champagne bottle left out in the sun. Amid sequins and longing, celebrities and aspirants flocked to the heart of chic, and Paris became a hothouse of revelry, intrigue, and searing ambition. At the center of it all were fashion's most beloved luminaries - Yves Saint Laurent, the reclusive enfant terrible, and Karl Lagerfeld, the flamboyant freelancer with a talent for reinvention - and they divided Paris into two fabulous halves. Their enduring rivalry is chronicled in this dazzling expose of an era: of social ambitions, shared obsessions, and the mesmerizing quest for beauty. ""Fascinating."" -New York Times ""Addictive."" -Philadelphia Inquirer ""It's like US Weekly, 1970s style."" -Gotham ""A story constructed as exquisitely as a couture dress...It moves stylishly forward, with frequent over-the-shoulder glances at some very dishy background."" -Boston Globe"
