Böcker av Suzy Menkes

Take your seat in the front row with the world's preeminent fashion authority, Suzy Menkes, as she delves into her personal archive of diaries and behind-the-scenes snapshots to share insider-only experiences-replete with her signature sharp wit and analysis-spanning over 30 years and exclusively published here for the first time. In this first of two volumes, Suzy Menkes, the leading fashion commentator of her generation, provides exclusive entrée into the most intimate corners of the fashion world. A fashion editor for over 50 years, most notably for the Paris-based International Herald Tribune and Vogue International, Menkes's catwalk commentary is legendary. Her strong, independent point of view and unique access to designers, models, and fashion moguls made her columns essential reading. But Menkes harbored a secret: she kept a personal diary-and took photographs-of her life in the fashion world from 1989 to 2019. Recording her many behind-the-scenes encounters with such notable names as Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Moss, André Leon Talley, Anna Wintour, Gwyneth Paltrow, Donatella Versace, Pharrell, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Claudia Schiffer, Stella McCartney, and Rihanna, and featuring never-before-seen images from her personal archive, including the photograph that Karl Lagerfeld said captured his true character, in My Fashion Diaries: The Early Years, Menkes divulges fashion's private moments and juiciest gossip, revealing the inner workings of a world mostly seen, until now, through polished runway shows and glossy magazine spreads.
