I really enjoyed the fact that this book was from the perspective of someone experiencing World War II through its effect on Paris fashion and fashion icons. It's a new and unique take. The characters were well represented and the entire book encouraged me to look into the …more history of both Schiaparelli and Chanel. If you're into WWII historical fiction and are looking to learn, this is the book for you! (less)

I very much enjoyed this book! The description of personalities was so vivid and lifelike that I ended up feeling as if I were reading about people I myself had known. Historical fiction lovers will find themselves enjoying a book over a woman who has not been thoroughly written about.
