by Agnès Gabriel
Description
France, 1947. Fleeing the confines of life as a housewife in the provinces, Célestine arrives in Paris, where she meets the reclusive designer Christian Dior. The young woman inspires the couturier with her natural femininity, becoming his private secretary and muse. Everyone is struggling in the aftermath of the war, but the world is on the brink of change and people are longing for beauty: Dior’s feminine New Look rapidly becomes an international sensation. In this new life of opulence and haute couture, Célestine almost loses herself, but then she finds it – love …
A young woman searching for happiness in post-war Paris meets the fashion designer whose New Look is on the verge of extraordinary success.
