Meryle Secrest
Praise for Elsa Schiaparelli
Secrest's biography is a wonderful insight into a life that history hasn't remembered as well as it should have.
Vogue
Ms Secrest's incisive, sympathetic life demonstrates great skill in unpicking the web of myths that Schiaparelli wove to reveal the shape of the woman beneath.
The Economist
The cast is thrilling....the locations are glamorous...Her story fairly rips along.
