by Ginette Spanier ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 27, 1960
The true ""chic"" with which Chez Balmain is identified is transcribed into words in this dazzling autobiography of its directrice, Ginette Spanier. Whether writing of her meticulous up bringing in England and France, the war years in which she and her husband heroically refused to leave France, or her meteoric rise as mistress of fashion, she does so in a style which is at once urbane and vivacious. An excellent gift selection for girls who anticipate a fashion career or for that large group of teen- agers to whom fashion is a subject of ever compelling interest.
