The
"bar suit," a design inspired by habituées of Paris's Hôtel Plaza
Athénée. The "Maxim's," worn by Rita Hayworth, seductively
photographed by Horst. The "flower-woman" gown, glittering with
petal-covered crinolines. This coffee table book celebrating 70 years of the
iconic fashion house is so sumptuous, it's as if the reader gets to play
dress-up with the most luscious clothes ever made.
